CALIFORNIA PLAN OF FUSION,
Method OF Meeting the Dilemma Occ.,
stoned by watson's Nomination.

Method OF Meeting the Dilemma Occa-
stoned by watson's Nomination..
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.-The following
fusion plan for California, adaptable also
to many other states, approved Ivy Colonel
Gcissman Mcguire and other Democratic
leaders. has been submitted TO Chairmen
Jones and Butler, of the national Demo
cratic and Populist committees, by Franz,
h. Lane, formerly managing editor of the
Tacoma News, now an attorney of this
city: The purpose of this plan is to Sc
cure the full vote of both Democratic and
Popuiist parties for MIR. Bryan, while al
lowing to each full opportunity to bring
out the party strength for its vice prcsi-
Dental nominee.
California having nine votes in the
electoral college, the state committees OF
both parties should agree upon an cleo
toral ticket composed of both Populists
and Democrats. The number of each on
the ticket is of little consequence. As
there We're at the last election about half
as many Popuiists votes as Democratic the
electoral ticket might be made-up of six
Democrats and three Populists. But the
number of each, es will be shown later. is
of no importance. This electoral ticket
of Democrats and Populists shall be voted
for by both parties, on the understanding
that if the Populists cast more votes in
the state than the Democrats the electors
Democrats and Populists, shall vote for
Watson for vice president.
1.-The strength of the two parties can I've
judged by their vote on some state Office
on which party lines are drawn. The only
state official voted for in California at this
election is the lieutenant governor. Let
1t be agreed between the state committees
and the electors that if the Democrats
vote for lieutenant governor is greater
than the Populist vote for the same officer
the nine electors shall vote for Bryan and
Sewall, or If Populists out-vote the Demo

movement was but an attempt to divide
this country between two governments,
each of them designed to protect property
within the limits of its jurisdiction. The
movement launched at Chicago is an at
tempt to paralyze industry by using all
the powers of government to take proper
ty from the hands of those who created it
ard place it in the hands of those who
eovct it. This is a question of morals as
we'll as Of politics.
Can't Understand Tammany's Action.
''Do you mean that you will actively OPP
pose the Democratic party, or abstain
from active support of it?''
in a contest for the existence of civil
cation no man can remain neutral. Who
ever docs not support the forces of order
aids the forces of disorder. If / can do
anything to thwart a movement the sue
cess of which l should regard as an ire
parable calamity not only TO this country
but to civilized society everywhere l shall
certainly do it,"
What do you think of Tammany's ac-
ton in indorsing the ticket
Il simply can't understand it. They
strongly opposed the platform at Chicago
on the ground that it was an assault on
the integrity of the nation. They decline
to ratify it even now, which shows that
they haven't changed their opinion of it.
Yet they have Endorsed the candidate who
stands upon it."
Does Not believe in a New Candidate.
.'Will you support Major Mckinley out
right or do you favor the nomination Ct
another Democratic candilate:'
Il believe that all Democrats who are 50
thoroughly in favor of sound money that
they place the defeat of Bryan above the
interests of any organization or party
should meet in convention for the pur-
pose of considering the method by which
they can give the. greatest efficiency to
their opposition. For my part l do not
| believe that the nomination of other can.

might be personally or politically, would

licvcs that they could be elected and any
Democrat whose hostility to Populisn
and Rcpublicansim would not allow him
to support either Bryan or Mckinley
could show his opposition to both by re-
manning mt home on election day"

An Official Denial.

Washington, Dec. 26.-It can be
denied officially and authoritatively
that any European government, either
directly or indirectly, has made any
Representatives whatever to the United
States to restrain or prevent its free
action in snnection with the Cuban
question. The latest denial results
from the publication of Paris dis
patch in the London Times. The Lon
don Times dispatch was denied not
only at the state department, but in
diplomatic circles, which declared the
story to be idle newspaper gossip. Mr..
A. Won Bruening, secretary of the Ger
man embassy, said today relative to
the statement that Germany was al
ready prepared to espouse Spain's
cause, that so far as the embassy here
was informed no such information had
been received. He discredited the
whole thing.

"A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN"
(Morganton Herald.)

Last Saturday morning we stepped in
to a store in Morganton and entered into
conversation with some friends and after
awhile one of them introduced the sub
ject Of spiritualism. He said he was
visiting in Caldwell county short time
ago and while there was shown a message
which is claimed to have been sent by a
man who had been dead for several years
to his sister, then living. Mrs. w. Jones,
now of Caldwell, was the medium and
at the time the message was sent, she
was only eleven years old and had never
written anything before. One day,
while at the dinner table, she called for
a pen aud ink and some paper and when
they were given to her she wrote in fac
simile hand of her uncle, DR. John Mills,
then deceased, message from him TO his
sister, Miss Eliza Mills, as follows: Tell
my sister Eliza | am happy, in happy
