DEs MONIES CONVENTION.
Fusion or No Fusion Is the Question at
Issue.

Des Moines, June 2S-Middle OF the
road populists will not agree to fusion.
The convention today had a lengthy
wrangle over the basis OF representation.
\. W. c. Weeks led the middle OF the
road contingent. demanding that the ba-
sis should be on the vote for Crane for
governor in 1896, instead Of Weaver for
elector in 1895, because the latter did
not represent populists. but democrats
also. Pandemonium reigned for an hour,
Attempts to howl Weeks down failed,
but his motion was declared laid on the
table.
The usual committees were appointed,
and the one on fusion was led by Wea-
yer. The majority is in favor of fusion.
but Weeks declares he and his followers
will withdraw from the convention If
fusion is agreed to. They number at
least one-third of the convention, while
is well attended.
The free silver republicans had little
trouble in agreeing. A resolution was
adopted agreeing to use the name dent
ocratic" for fusion ticket this year, on
account Of the anti-fusion law. The con-
ference committee on fusion was headed
by Judge ID. Purrier. who wants a free
silver republican for governor

Painful diseases are pad enough, but

are ten times worse than the most severe

came to his aid In the shape of a combina-
ton OF medicines that not only completely

The fine Italian hand of Hon. George

the wool schedule incorporated in the
Dingley tariff bill, just before it was
reported to the senate, on Tuesday.
The reduction of the duties on first
class. woods and the increase of the
rate on wool Of the Ahird-class has been
ably championed by Mr.. Wallace ever
since he served as U. s. consul to
Australia, under the Harrison regime,
and had his eyes opened to the foreign
competition against western wool-grow-
ers; and the change from the compli-
Gated and misleading ad valorem to a
specific system OF duties, is also one of
pet ideas. II that act goes through as
