Martinsvlle, Va, Aug. 17.-Mr. w
II. Graveley, Populist candidate for at
Uorhey general four years ago, and now n
member of the special committee nm.
pointed by the recent Populist conyen
tlon, and the probable candidate of his
party for attorney general this year, was
seen by correspondent on his re-
turn home here to day. Mr.. Gravely was
somewhat reticent as to the reported plan
Oh the Popnlists for fusion with Repub-
LEANS in the State campaign. When
asked the attitude Of sthe Populists in
their overtnres to the recent Democratic
State convention, he said:
why, think our letter makes that
very PLAIN. we proposed to keen all
good silver mon in line for another grand
fight in 1900. This is Bryan's plan. We
also desired our silver brethren among
the Democrats to rid Virginia Of the
present odious election law. 1t was right
for US TO give the Democratic convention
an opportunity to perform their right
eous deeds, and so we did, and that is all
there is about it,"
why do you suppose they failed to en-
dorse Captain Cocke?"
You will have to ask the Democratic
bosses. Many of the rank and file of the
delegates seemed anxious for it, but the
THIN BILE Triggers were too much for them.
Possibly it was the Democratic way of
expressing gratitude to the Populists for
svaing the State to Bryan and the seats of
Otey, Swanson and Epes in Congress.
is there any truth in the report that
the PopuliSts and Republicans will fuse?''
~ don't know. 1t is not we'll known
whether the Republicans will call State
con vention. Our committee will meet
in the next ten days and be heard from"
If fusion is effected what will be the
line of attack upon the Democrncy?"
"A great fight for free ballot and fair
count"
Populists here vigorously express their
opinion of the Democracy in refusing to
nominate Cooke and threaten punishment
by defeating Democratic candidates for
the legislature. They criticise Daniel
harshly and say the convention was DOM
mated by the spirit of machine rule and
Martinism. and showed waning devo-
ton TO free silver. Several fusion canli-
dates in this district could certainly be
elected.
