ocrats on the matter OF fusion ticket.
When the county Populist convention
was in session several weeks ago a
| committee of Democrats called at the
| convention hall to fix up an agree
| ment for fusion ticket The Peoples
| party fellows have had the wool pulled
| over their eyes before and got the
| worst of 1t in deals with other parties,
and this time 1t was deemed wise to
| postpone the selection of candidates
confer with similaH coiAmittee to be
| chosen by the DemOtTatic county con-
vention. 1t was also agreed to adjourn
until the day fixed for the Democratic
| convention, which 1t was then said,
would be held on the Esd inst. The
| Populists then adjourned until that
| date tft In
This wariness on the part of the Pop
| ulists was not pleasing to the county
| Democratic leaders, who had hoped
for compliance with their wishes,
| without question, and then at their
| Populists' candidates land substituted
| the favored ones of their own politi-
| cal faith, Accordingly it was decided
| to change the date for the county con-
vention. This was called for the 29th,
| in spite Of the fact that the Populists
| had called their convention to meet
with the Democrats six days earlier.
This, together with somefother minor,
| but none the less important matters
that have been learned by the Popu-
list leaders, constrains them to believe
| they are being led about by the whis-
kers and that the Democrats are play
| ing a deep and false game with them.
| For these reasons there has developed
| some opposition to a fusion ticket, and
! there is a large faction of the Peoples
party following that VIII advocate the
nomination of a straight ticket. 1t Is
| to determine the action of the conven-
| ton when 1t meets on the 23d that
| meeting of the county committee has
been called to meet Monday afternoon
| at state Headquarters in the G o b
| building 1t is expected that dele
CATION from the Democratic committee
will be present at that meeting to at
tempt to smooth matters over.

detained until the midnight train. After
treating their unexpected guests to
creature comforts, a hall was secured
and the word passed around that the

preached. The hall wasn't big enough
to hold the crowd, Mr. Jacquemart
says and Lind and Bowler both made
speeches that were received with en-
thuSiaSm.
