STATE FUSION
A Committee Of Siiverites to Choose the
Congres5men

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 25.-Fusion
committees representing the Democrats,
Populists and Bimetallists met today
and appointed committee of sixteen
to be known as the joint congressional
committee, empowered to select con-
gressional candidates. To nominate
candidate will require the votes of four
Democrats, four Populists and two sill
YER men, and such a vote for congress
sional nominee will be final. The candi-
date receiving such vote will be the NOM
inee Of the three parties. Other NOM
inees must then withdraw or depend
FOR their support on their personal fol-
lowing.
AS the silver men have no congress
s.onal nominees, it was agreed to give
them the permanent officers of the COM
mittee. Charles d. Lane was elected
chairman and J. P. Edoff secretary.
The committee then adjourned to meet
next Monday.
At the session of the congressional
committee c. f. McGlashan, Populist
nominee from the Second district, caused
some npleasantness' by stating that he
had been informed that there was a
scheme on foot to turn the nomination
over to Devries of Stockton. Mr. Nc
Glashan declared that he would not re-
sign his nomination. Joseph Kelly, the
Democratic nominee from the Fifth dis
trict, says he is going to stay in the
fight. no natter what the decision of the
fusion committee, and George Monteith,
Populist nominee from the Third, it is
stated, will do likewise.
The only unpleasantness at the ses-
sion of the congressional committee
was caused by C. f. McGlashan, Pop
ulist nominee for congress in the Second
district When he entered the commit
tee room he spoke to a. Caminetti say
ing: II aim going to throw bomb into
the camp" McGlashan then said that
Congressman Louttit of Stockton
had told him that Gator and Caminetti
were endeavoring to cause the Populists
to take McGlashan down.
Caminetti at once denied the state
ment.
IF Louttit said that" Caminetti said,
"he lied"
You can't call my friend a liar" said
McGlashan.
II not only can but do" Caminetti
answered. II repeat that if Louttit
told you that ever said anything about
you and any other nominee or candidate
for nomination, OR that was endeavor-
ing to cause your withdrawal he is a
liar
McGlashan said that Louttit had made
the statement on the boat. Then Gator
rose and denied the truth Of the alleged
remark OF the Stockton man.

THE FIGHT FOR GOLD.

The fight for the use of the word gold
in the Republican platform seems to
have been won. While there is no
doubt that the great majority of the del
egates were in favor of the existing GOLD
standard there is not much doubt either
that. but for the fight of Senator Lodge
and Mr.. Platt. majority of the conven-
ton would have readily consented to
the omission Of the word gold from the
Platform. The ultimate purpose of the
convention is to make platform that
will attract votes for it's candidate, and
hence coDciliation is naturally ono of it's
watch words. 1t is sometimes possib BILE
to dress up an obnoxious proposition in
a garb that will make it less objection
able to the people who are opposed to 1t
than it would be In its naked shape, and
when this can be done convention is
inclined to do it. 1t was this idea which
made many delegates listen favorablY to
the proposition to exclude the word gold
from the platform. They said that If we
can conciliate some of the less radical sill
~ ~@ASA ~ oiA11pu& GSo uhO WOLo SOiuJ anu
at the same time make it clear that we
mean gold, it would he justifable
piece of Cancellation. Hence for time
Hannas idea of meaning gold without
saying it was popular.
But it was more speoious. than sound
and like all such ideas, it did not wear
we'll. The delegates began gradually
to perceive it's weakness. They began
to see that it was extremely improbable
that any silver men would be attracted
by platform that clearly meant gold
even If 1t did not say it. The began to
discover that the proposed disgniss was
altogether too thin. Nevertheless had
there been no aggressive fight for the use
of the word gold the Hanna idea would
probably have prevailed easily, on the
ground that even if ii did no good it
would do no particular harm. But when
an aggressive fight was made for the use
of the word the matter assumed diffor-
ent aspect. 1t was one thing to be in
different as to whether the word gold
was used or not, it was another and quite
different thing to oppose its use; and
when the fight for gold began the dele
gates who had been merely Indifferent,
were compelled to take sides; and they
saw that while mere lndi ference under
the circumstances that had previously
existed could not be construed as hostili-
ty to the gold standard, opposition to the
use Of the word gold when it was de-
manded could be, and would be. When
then the demand was made OF them to
say explicitly what they protested tc
mean they could give no good reason fol
refusing. Hence the great majority of the
delegates who are in favor of the existing
standard, are not refusing to use the
word gold because they can give no good
reason fer SO doing, and because suct
refusal might be construed as disloyalty
to that standard.

The Democrats OF the fourth district,
at their convention yesterday, adopted a
square resolution in favor of the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to /,
and instructed the delegates to the
Chicago convention to support that pol
icy. In the third district they did not
60 quite so far as that, but there even
they declared in favor of the coinage of
gold and silver without discrimination.
In the fourth district there was square
fight on the currency, resolution In
favor of gold being first presented and
tabled in favor Of the free silver declara-
ton. This victory for free silver ia en-
tirsly unexpected, for though it was well
known that there was considerable silver
sentiment among a class of Bangor pol.

Notwithstanding all their shout ng
and claiming, it is easy to see that the
Mckinley people are in mortal dread of
Speaker Reed. For month now they
have been trying to get him out of tine
fight by urging him to accept the Vice
Presidency, and that not succeeding,
they are now attempting to conciliate
Linn by offering to nominate anybody for
that Office whom he may name. Mr.
Reed has, of course, rejected the last
overture, as he did the first. He is q
candidate for the Presidency, and will
remain candidate until his claims are
finally passed upon by the ST. Louis
convention.

fast as possible. He is fighting against
anything that will tend to delay. The

of several delegates from Mckinley, adj
monish him that there is great danger

The fourth district will contribute
directly but two votes for free silver at
Chicago, but those two votes will be very
influential On account of the section
from which they come. Probably the
silver men never dreamed of free silver
sentiment in NewEngland strong enough
to dominate convention, and the cap
ture of these votes is the best streak Of
luck they have yet had.
