urged fuller consolidation Of the silver
element In the State and nation. Reg
ulAr committees were appointed, togeth-
er with conference committee to meet
with like committees from the Demo-
Gratis and Populjsts and opposition
forces. The conference committee will
ask the full committee to agree to the
nomination of ex-Congressman Daniel
Kerr for Governor.
The delegates had little trouble In
agreeing. A resolution was adopted
agreeing to use the name Democratic"
for the fusion ticket this year, on ac-
count of the anti-fusion law. The cor
ference committee on fusion was headed
by Judge d. Purrler, who wants free
silver Republican for governor.
THE POPULISTS
Five hundred delegates were present
at the Populist State convention today.
c. Al, Holly of Des Moines was named
as temporary chairman. He made an
address for the free coinage of silver at
16 to /. Regular committees and COM
mittee to confer with the Democratic
and Silver Republican conventions were
named at the close of Holly's address.
The middle of the road Populists will
not agree to fusion. The convention had
a lengthy wrangle over the basis of rep
resentation. A. w. G. Weeks led the
middle of the road contingent, demand
ing that the basis should be on the vote
for Crane for governor in 1895, instead Of
Weaver for elector in 1896. because the
latter did not represent the Populists,
but the 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 Weaver. The ma
jority is in favor of fusion, but Weeks
declares he and his followers will with
draw from the convention If fusion Is
agreed to- They number at least one
third of the convention, which is well
