7th.-Reading the record of the Re
publican Party in the past and looking
at its future conduct towards silver. as
indicated by the expression of the men
who direct its policy. the platform
adopted by it at the St. Louis conven-
tion and the feeling Of its presidential
candidates towards silver az expressed
in their speeches and writings and the
nefarious combine and plan recently
arranged by the Republicans of the
State of Montana. we look with sus-
piciOn upon the declarations of certain
wings of the Republicans who style
themselves as ''Silver Republicans
and believe them to be insincere and
only made for the purpose of inducing
men to rally around the stand of the
Republican Party who would otherwise
cast their votes in favor of the candi-
dates who are fighting the battle of
silver and for the interests of the
people.
Sth.-To all those Republicans who
are sincere in their declara tiOns to
favor the free coinage of silver we eX-
tend the hand of fellowship and invite
them to unite with us in this great
battle for the rights of the people and
the preservation of the Nation: believ-
ing that they put principle above party
and that they are entitled to en-
couragement from the Democracy.
And this invitation is extended to them
with hope vain perhaps it may be
that hereafter the Silver Republicans
will be found sOlidlv identified with
and part of the Democratic Party.
All of which is respectfully submit

EFFECTED A
COMBINATION
DEMOCRATS AND POPU-
LISTS COMBINE.
RESULT OF SATURDAYS
CONVENTION.
THE NOMINEES.

AS result of the Democratic county
convention held in this city last Satur-
day, the Democrats and Populists will
fuse and fight for the offices under
common banner this fall. The fusion
was effected through the negotiations of
Arch'd McGown and Solomon Wiles,
representatives extraordinary of the
Populist party, and a committee ap-
pointed at the first caucus OF the Dem
Ocratic delegates, held early Saturday
morning. Mr.. McGown is chairman OF
the Peoples Party central committee,
and. it is generally understood, has been
in favor of fusion for some time, but
until quite recently, Mr. Wiles, who
represented Madison county Populists
at the St. Louis convention. was a
pronounced middle-of-theroad man.
The general impression is that the
Populists let their erstwhile political
enemies in cheap, inasmuch as their
candidate for congress, Bob Smith,
polled more votes at the last election
than did his Democratic opponent
However, Mr.. Smiths personal popu-
larity had considerable to do with his
big vote. The arrangement is that the
Populists are to name the following
candidates: One candidate for the
legislature, one commissioner. superin-
tendent of schools, coroner, and county
surveyor. while the Democrats will
get all the big plums.
The first proposition of the Populistic
conferees contemplated more pie but
the Democratic committee gave them
the marble heart. Then the Democrat
ic committeeman made their PROPOSE
tion, which the representatives of the
Peoples party accepted. The COM
mittee reported and the convention
went into caucus to ratify the action of
the committee, and the fusion PROPOSE
tiOn was carried by the scant
majority of 2 votes.
