Ticket Between Them.

Ticket Between Them.
BOISE, Aug. 2l.-Yhe third day of the
Democratic and Populist conventions was
devoted entirely to discussion Of the pro-
posed fusion. The joint conference WAS
in session until a late hour at night with
out coming to any agreement Yesterday
the convention met in secret session to re-
ccive reports. Each held two sessions and
there was still no agreement. The question
at issue was who shall control the state
boards, which practically run the state.
The Populists claim to be numerically
stronger than the Democrats and entitled
to control those boards. This the Demo-
Gratis resist. On this point they were dead
locked.
A fusion of Populists and Democrats
was finally accomplished by the Populists
accepting the Democratic proposition. The
Democrats got the presidential electors,
supreme judge, governor, attorney general,
treasurer, and mine inspector. The Popu-
lists have the United States senator, CON
gresham, lieutenant governor, secretary
Of state, auditor and superintendent Of
public instruction.

AN INVITATION TO BRYAN.
Showing That the New York Managers
Will stand by Him.


Will stand by Him.
UPPER RED HOOK, Aug. 21.-It is pretty
apparent here that Candidate Bryan's
plan to spend some time in New York
state campaigning is not Objectionable to
the leaders in Democratic state politics,
but that on the contrary he has their CO.
operation in the movement. 1t is not
hard to anticipate that the state Demo
cratic convention in Buffalo will indorse
his candidacy from several events of the
past two days, and Bryan himself smiled
yesterday and said: Il am not bothering
about New York Democrats. Everything
Will be all right"
Among the facts of significance are the
visit late Wednesday night of Elliott Dan
forth, Of the New York organization, the
proposed visit of Bryan to Albany. and the
inviting of Bryan to meet a number of
Democrats at Winiesook Lodge, in the
Catskills, presided over by Chairman
Hinkley, Of the Democratic state commit
zee. Danforth, when asked the question
of state support Of Mr. Bryan by the Dem.
ocratic party, said tersely: "The Demo
Gratis Of New York will support him,
have no doubt. but the active work will
not begin until our convention meets at
Buffalo,
The second surprise came yesterday
norRing when son of Chairman Hink-
ley came here with an urgent personal let
ter from his father inviting Bryan to visit
the camp in the Catskills where are gath
cred a number Of prominent Democrats.
When the messenger had gone Bryan said
that he had practically decided to accept
tie invitation and would spend a night
over there before leaving for the west.
Bryan is to speak at several points in New
York and on Aug. 81 at Cleveland.
The evening of Sept. 3 he will speak in
South Bend, Ind, and Sept. will be
spent in Chicago at national headquarters.
Bryan does not expect to speak in Chica-
go. The morning Of the fifth he will leave
for Nebraska over the Darlington road,
making no stops. He says his speeches in
ali the places named will be very brief
