THERE ARE A FEW PROBLEMS
OF DISTRIBUTION OF THE OFFICES
ONLY TO BE ADJUSTED BE-
TWEEN THEM.
NOMINATIONS ARE IN DOUBT,
Aithough An One or Two Cases There
Are Some Apparent "sure
Things"

VenllOn To-Day. In racing parIance
there are but two ''sure things" in the
entire list of candidates. At the last
moment, as compromise between the
candidates who are struggling for
preferment, and whose chances for a
nomination are hopeless, several dark
horses have been trotted out for in
spection, and If they are satisfactory
to the delegates may pull out some
OF the good things that are to be Of
fered
Everything is now complete for the
nomination Of a fusion ticket to on
pose the Republican nominees. Fusion
is CO. The Democrats and Populists
VIII meet in separate conventions this
morning. Committees Of seven will be
appointed by each convention to con-
fer and agree upon the offices each
shall have. The Democrats will con-
cede the offices of auditor, several
county commissioners, half of the leg
lslat1ve nominees and congressman
TO the Populists. If pushed very hard
the Democrats will give the Populists
one judge rather than interfere with
the fusion deal
The Populists will not be satisfied
with any such deal as the Democrats
propose, however. They want the Of
fees Of sheriff and coroner and one
OF the judges. There will be a row
of tremendous propirtions unless they
are conceded these offices. 1t is all
very well for the Democrats to allow
the Populists to nominate for the leg
islature in districts that are hopelessIy
Republican, say the Populists But
they are not anxious to nominate in
Cf
the legislative districts that we can
win In" said Populist leader last
night. I'VE will take such oefers: but
we don't want the strong Republican
districts. We are going to have q
candidate for Judge If we have TO
nominate straight ticket. We have
been promised the sheriff's Office and
are going to have that, too We never
asked for the authorship. and we don't
propose to take 1t in place of the Of
fees we do want. If there is to be
fusion, the Populists, not the Demo-
Gratis, will dictate the terms. The
Democrats suggested the plan. not the
Populists. They will do as we say. or
they will nominate and elect-if they
can-without our help.o
