The Salt Lake Tribune is in error in re.
CARDS as to the party affiliations of Senator
Denton and Assemblyman Whitney by
whom they were elected. 1t says they we're
elected on Silver party fusion ticket In.
stead of Silver party fusion. it was a fusion
between the Democrats and Populists, or. in
fact, Democratic party, as that party had
swallowed the Popuhsts almost entire even
before the convention was held. The follow.
ing is from the Tribune State Senator j.

winner although they admit that there
