! cannot support any party or platform that
seeks oset one part OF this country against any
other. There Is no East or West. 1t Is only one
country, and ne who would break this unity
through the stirring up Of jealousy and hatred
is the foe OF patriotism and traitor to II.

No Confusion In Nebraska n This Appro.

LINCOLN. Neb.. Oct. 4.-The word Democrat
has caused much trouble In tho State OF
Nebraska where two factions Of the party have
twice fought legal battles over the right to use
the word on the official ballot at general cleo
tions. Tho free silver faction is now proposing
to make the third fight. They have employed
counsel to protest against the use of the word
Democrat by either Congress State cnndi-
dates placed in nomination by the gold standard
wing.
The administration or gold standard electoral
ticket WIS not acted upon by the Secretary OF
State. 1t will meet with protest from the free
silver faction. Two gold standard Democratic
Congress nominees have filed certificates. The
first was filed by officers OF the Fourth Congress
District Convention which nominated h. -E.
Dunphy OF Seward for Congress. The other
WAS filed yesterday on behalf OF Michael Hughes
Of West Point. nominated by convention of
delegates representing the Third district.
Judge Wheeler of this city will file protest to-
morrow against these nominations.
Protests now being drawn up by the free sill
yer faction may charge that the Secretary OF
State is now bound by the action OF the Chicago
Convention. which seated the free;siyer dele

Court. however, decided in tho Phelps case that

Attorney.Genernrs hulinE.
Assistant United States District Attorney
Robert H. Roy OF Brooklyn, who has been acting
as secretary for the Campaign Committee of
the National Democratic party in Kings county.
has decided TO retire from that place and to dis
continue all active political work. Mr. Roy has
been one of Edward NJ. Shepard's most valuable
lieutenants since the reform Democratic organ
izat!on was started in Brooklyn. few years
ago. and even since his appointment ASSIST
ant District Attorney has continued secre-
tary OF the General Committee.
When the honest money Democrats inaugu-
rated their campaign against Bryan and repu-
diation. Mr.. Roy was induced to devote all the
time not required for his official duties to the
work at the Washingt gton street headquarters.
He said last night: when my attention was
called to the decision of the Attorney General
IN the case Of the Virginia attorney. / gave di-
rections to have my name withdrawn from all
campaign documents and literature and to
all official Connection with campaign work.
1t might possibly be that the Attorney-Gen-
eral did not intend that his decision should
apply to Assistant District Attorneys but at
the same time felt that it would be unfair to
place the Attorney-Generali In position savor-
ing OF embarrassment or TO lay him open TO
criticism.
II feel. however. that in the present political
eIigency 1t Is my duty to devote all the time
not occupied in my official position TO the work
OF rescuinR the country from the disaster which
would undoubtedly follow the election of Bryan
and the triump ph OF the Chicago PLATFORM"

NO FUSION IN VIRGINIA.
The Democratic and PopuIist Committees
Fail TO Agree.

RICHMOND. Oct. 4.-"All efforts to effect a
fusion electoral ticket in Virginia have failed.
There were several propositions submitted by
the Populists, one OF them was for the Demo-
Gratis to give them two electors, who were to
vote for Bryan and Watson. and the Democrats
to have the other ten electors. This suggestion
WAS fayorably received by several members of
the committee, but others raised such a viGor-
opposition that 1t was abandoned. In its place
the Democrats proposed to allow tho Populists
three electors. who were, however. to vote for
Bryan and Sewall This substitute was re-
jected by the Populist committee by vote of .
TO 2. ono member being absent.
The Populist committee failing to agree, and
It's members having separated, the fusion will
fail. The time In which the electors could hle
their names with the Secretary OF the Common
wealth under the ballot law has expired and
the Democratic ELECTORAL ticket as chosen at
the stanton Convention has beon sent to the
Secretary OF tho Commonwealth.
