A COMPROMISE AFFECTED
Two Republicans Had to Be Placed on the
 Populist Ticket.
SOUND MONEY REPUBLICANS ARE MAD
Because the Mckinley Faction Failed to Put Out a Straight Ticket-The Sight of Two Guns Caused Delegates
 to Hunt Cover.

Montgomery, April 29.-(Special)- When the average Montgomerian went to bed at midnight last night the McKin- ley republicans were still holding their state convention and the air about the court house was full of a settled deter imitation to nominate a straight-out sound money republican ticket. The populists had coquetted with the McKin- leyites and had received the marble heart, but the pops were persistent, and about 80 this morning they came tap ping at the door again for cooperation and fusion. This brought up discus sion of the subject, which lasted until daylight this morning, at which time the wearied Mckinley delegates, many of whom were wakened from their slum- bers to vote, agreed to cooperate with the Alabama populists in state matters if the populists would nominate J. w. Smith of Birmingham for attorney gen. eral and L. F. Grimmet of Macon for secretary of state. This was agreed to by the conference committees of both conventions and at o'clock this morn ing, after being in session thirteen hours without food, the Mckinley convention adjourned sine die.
  wrangled for five solid hours before they would agree to the nomination of the two candidates suggested by the McKin- ley convention, and just before the job was completed two republicans, mem- bers of the warning factions, who were spectators became involved in a quar- rel and two guns flashed, causing duly accredited populist delegates to hunt cover with alacrity. The failure of the Mckinley faction to put out a sound. money state ticket is a disappointment to many sound money republicans, and 1t Is taken assan evidence of rank cow ardice.
