Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 2.-As predicted
at the start by the party leaders, the
three parties-Democratlc, Popuhst and
silver Republican-ioined hands in
fusion, and the ticket placed in the
field is:
For Supreme Judge-John J. Sullivan,
Democrat Columbus
For Stare University Regents-Evan
Forell, OF Kearney. PoDulist, and
George T. REMOVER OF WIsner. silver
Republican.
Many delegates maintain that the
fusion was perfectly harmonious. while
there are others who claim that there
may yet be dissension on the silver
Republican side, as about one-thlrd of
inelf- delegates went home early this
morning before fusion was affected.
For awhile in the three conventions
this morning il looked rather precarfous
Tor harmony, as the silver Republicans
mad q very warm tine, a number Of
mlddie-of- the-road delegates talking
in favor Of the nomination Of a straight
ticket in order to preserve their or
ganiZatiun. Finally il was announced
that the Democrats and silver ReDub-
Aeans mad agreed npon John j. Sui
AYaa for supreme judge, and signs of
fusion began TO appear Even uhen it
was net until Judge Neville urged. The
endorsement Of Mr.. Sullivan that the
Populi5ts gave in. At noon The agree
Tnent to fuse WAS finally reached and
the rest of the proceedings We're of
short duration. Il became very evident
near the close OF the convention that
neither Scott. Neville or Thomson
could be nominated by any two Of the
conventions, and the Vancouver of the
Democrats IN substituting sullivan WAS
considered 4 coup d'etat that cut short
what might have resulted in a long
drawn, knotty convention full Of fight,
and ultimately separating the three
parties so widely That fusion would
have been an unknown condition for
years TO come. This is the opinion
1reeiy expressed on every hand.
There were Is counties unrepresented
IN the PopuliSt convention ana about
the same number absent from the other
gatherings.
The delegates began leaving the city
rs soon as fusion became an assured
aiing, and by evening there were
scarcely a score at any Of the hotels.

San Francisco, Sept. 2.-Governor Budd
announced today that ne would not inter-
fere in the case of Harvey Anender, the
San Jose double murderer, who is under
sentence to hang at San C:ientin tomor-
row
immediately upon learning that the
governor had refused to grant comnu-
uation of Allender's sentence, his attor-
ney, Frank I. Shea, esq. applied to Judge
Morrow in the United States circuit court
Tor writ of habeas corpus on the ground
that Allender was insane at the time of
the commission of his act. and therefore
irresponsible. It was also urged that the
superior Judge Of Santa Clara county. be-
fore whom Allender was tried, erred in
his instructions to the jury. After SIanc-
ing at the application for the writ, Judge
Morrow denied IL, whereupon Attorney
Shea requested the court to grant the
necessary leave 10 appeal from his de-
clsiOu to the supreme court of the United
States. This was also refused, but Judge
Morrow qualified his refusal by assuring
Allender's attorney that & ne filed a bono

costs. a citation would be issued TO War
den Hale ordering him TO appear before

Pittsburg. Sept. 2.-Judging from sur
face indications it seems reasonably
certain that President Ratchford of the
United Mine Workers and his col
leagues in Office will reject the offer of
the operators to return to work at the
64-cent rate pending arbitration. Great
influence has been brought to bear
upcn the strike leaders from this dis
trict to induce them to assume such an
attitude.
The sentiment among the miners here
IS solid for a 69-cent rate or nothing.
All the local labor leaders here have
advised strongly for a continuation Of
the fight along the present lines to the
bitter end.
