Ticket.

Nebraska Populists Likely to
Have a Hot Time in
Convention.

MINNEAPOLIs, Aug. A conference
Of Democratic and Populist leaders in
this city settled the terms Of fusion
which will be reported to the Demo-
cratic state convention. Chairman
Meighen of the Populist committee and
some of his party associates. met with
members of the Democratic committee
at 2 O. clock at the Nicollet House. Two
formal propositions were brought before
the conference. The first was for di-
vision of offices and recommendation
that Lind be supported, while the Sec
ond was for the delegation to joint
committee of the naming Of a fusion
ticket. This second plan was designed
to relieve the Populists from having to
endorse Democrats in their later con-
vention.
The First Plan More Popular.
The first plan was more popular
among the rank and file. 1t was pro-
purposed to name John Lind, free
silver Republican, for governor, and
then allow the Populists to name can
didates for lieutenant governor and
attorney general, while the Democrats
would fill in their candidates for state
treasurer and secretary of state. The
middle of the road Populists favored
leaving the matter to joint committee.
The leaders generally, however, IA
vored the other plan and candidates
were not lacking. The Populists want
the lieutenant governorship, for which
Major Bowler of Bird Island, and
George N. Lanphere of Moorhead are
spoken Of Their desire for attorney
general comes from their ex-
pressed belief that the corporations
IN the state need looking after, and
John Arnold keyes of Duluth is their
probable choice for the place. The
Democratic places OH this fusion ticket
have plenty of seekers, Adolph Bierman
and Editor w. E. Mckenzie being men.
toned for secretary Of state, while
Joseph Leicht of Winona has been
urged for state treasurer. However
neither Bierman nor Leicht have yet
appeared here. and it was doubtful
whether they would accept.
The nomination of Lind and the
adoption of free silver platform are
the well established facts Of the conven
ton

HARMONY'S DAY OFF.
Nebraska Populists VIII Evidently Hav
Fight at Their Convention.

Nebraska Populists VIII Evidently Have
Fight at Their Convention.
OMAHA, Aug. 4.-The state nominal.
ing convention of the Populist party
will be held at Hastings Wednesday,
and Judging by present indications,
harmony will take q day of, while the
warning factions Of the party fight ont
their differences. Not that the result Is
in doubt. The fact that the middle Of
the road Populists are in hopeless mi.
nority has been again and again demon.
strated. They were beaten in nearly
all the county conventions in the state.
Here in Douglass county the fight was
especially bitter, but the straight Popu-
lists were ingloriously defeated ON every
issue raised.
1t was the same at st. Louis, where
the straight Populists on the Nebraska
delegation were outnumbered by nearly
two to one. But in no case did they
submit without a struggle. They fought
every inch of the ground, and they do
not hesitate to declare that they will
make desperate effort at Hastings to
prevent the consummation of the plans
of the leaders Of the majority.
Assert There Was a Compact.
The leaders of the middle of the road
element assert that Governor Holcomb
and Senator Allen have entered into a
compact with the Bryan managers by
: which they were to deliver Nebraska
to Bryan and Sewall, and in return
Bryan's influence was to be used to
procure Democratic endorsement Of
the Populist ticket in Nebraska.
They refuse to be bound by such an
agreement. and persist in their deter
mination to break up the slate agreed
upon by their opponents. That they
are strong enough to prevent the re.
nomination of Governor Holcombe no
one believes. But they announce their
ssintention to make a fight that will pave
the way for straight Populist ticket in
case such an undertaking should seem
practicable. There is one point in favor
Of the minority. and that is the surplus
of candidates for nearly all the state Of.
fees. Even in Douglass county. the
vote Is split up among dozen
candidates and this is expected
&c result in fight that viii!
to some extent disrupt the align.
ment of the majority II this can be
accomplished the vote Of the minority
will become of some importance and
they expect &c be able tc cut tome
figure N these conventions.
