NOT ALL HARMONY.


Guilty In Agreeing on Ticket.
LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 2..-The tripar-
tite alliance of the Nebraska free sill
yer forces was given good Roadway
yesterday by three large conventions
held, respectively, by the democrats,
populists and free silver republicans
These gatherings, conducted under
separate organizations, acted In per-
feet harmony, and when routine work
had been disposed Of the representa-
tives OF the united parties gave their
attention to addresses by leading free
silver advocates. The conference COM
mittee appointed by the three conven-
tions to agree upon state ticket,
however, was not so harmonious. At
one o'clock this morning it was in a
deadlock, with no prospects for fusion.
The meeting was in star chamber ses-
sion, but as near as can be learned
four ballots were taken early in the
evening on which party should get the
supreme Judge nomination, but they
all tied.
