PUr THE PRoGRAMME THRoUGH
Ner York PopUlists Meet TO Complete
Fusion Nth Democrats.


Fusion Nth Democrats.
SYRACUSE, n. Y, Oct. Twenty
Populists responded to-day to the call for
second convention to revise the work of
the former convention. At that conyen-
ton Bryan and Watson electors were
named and also full State ticket. These
men were named with the understanding
that they would place their designations
IN the hands OF the State Committee, to
be used if fusion with the Democrats can
be arranged at the Buffalo convention.
The committee sent to Buffalo received
no recognition. but according to the Pop
u!ist leaders who are here William p. St.
John, treasurer of the Democratic party,
has given assurance that fusion will be
made on Congressman in several districts
providing the Democratic electors and
State ticket were indorsed.
The convention was reconvened to carry
out this programme. All who came went
into executive session as a State commit
tee and al some time during the proceed
ings they resolved themselves into q con-
vention.
The constitution of the Peoples party
was amended so as to allow fusion to be
made. Then it was found that Candidate
Lincoln had not resigned as reported.
This was overcome, however, by ignoring
the action OF the former convention for
the reason that Its officers had never been
sworn and it was therefore declared
illegal
Chairman Zero and Secretary McPariy
were sworn in and Bryan and Sewall cleo
tors were indorsed without opposition.
When it came to indorsing Porter and
Schraub, the Democratic candidates for
Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, there
was some objection. but it was overcome
and the programme went through.
