FUSION I'm NEBRASKA.
Three state Conventions Unite on
single Ticket.


Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 3.-As predicted
at the start by the party leaders. the
three parties. democratic, populist and
silver republican, joined hands in flu
sion and the ticket placed in the field
is: For SUI -eme judge, John J. SuIli-
van (dem.). Columbus; Tor one state
university regent, +. Won Forel, of
KcaTney (Pop.); for he other regent,
George F REMOVER. of Wisner silver
rep.).
Many delegates maintain that the flu
sion was perfectly harmonious, while
there are others who claim that there
may yet be dissension on the silver re-
publican side, as about one-third of
those delegates went home before fu-
sion was effected. For awhile in the
three conventions Thursday morning
it looked rather precarious for har-
mony, and it was not until the an
nouncement that the democrats had
agreed with the silver republicans to
substitute John ]. Sullivan for W. n.
Thompson that signs of fusion began to
appear. Even then it was not until
Judge Neville urged the Endorsement
in. At noon the agreement TO fuse was
finally reached and the rest OF the pro-
ceedings were of short duration. 1t be-
came very evident near the close of the
convention that neither Scott, Neville
| nor Thompson could be nominated by
any two of the conventions, and the
maneuver of the democrats in substi-
1 tuting Sullivan was considered a coup
d'etat that cut short what might have
resulted in long-drawn, knotty con-
| vention, full of fight and ultimately sep
arating the three parties so widely that
| fusion would have been an unknown
condition for years to come. This is
the opinion freely expressed on every
hand. There were IS counties unrep-
resented in the populist convention and
about the same number absent from the
other gatherings.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept 3.-The confer
| ence committee of the populists, silver
republicans and democratic conven-
tions, after holding sessions that lasted
until three o'clock Thursday morning
and failing to agree upon a ticket, made
the following report to the three con-
ventions:
I'VE recommend that the three conven-
lions meet separately and ballot for judge.
All nominations shall be presented to the
three conventions and balloting shall con-
tinue until one man shall receive a major
ity of two conventions. Each ballot shall
be announced TO each OF the other con-
ventions before another ballot is taken.
The regents shall be given to the parties
which do not secure the Judge"
The report was adopted by the demo-
cratic convention, but the committee
was not discharged.
The populists adopted the cottage
home for their party emblem, the same
symbol as that of the populists of Colo
RADIO. The silver republicans adopted
the liberty bell with crack in it.
