they conceded TO the republicans the
office of sheriff. After getting the sher-
in. the republicans wanted the county
attorney. but the pops would not stand

publican. for county attorney. MT.
Walsh is the law partner of c. NJ. saw

conference committee and a leader in
the convention. and thus IL viii he seen
that the concession OF the pops was not
so racking after all. BY way of conso-
lation. they told the republicans that
Walsh was a silver republican and that
the republicans would really be the
gamers by the deal.
However. the republicans on the con-
ference committee could not take alsh,
so they reported the populist demands
TO the convention. and that body by a
vote Of 80 to %. acceded to the populists
propositions. and the republicans had
the humiliation OF letting the populist
party nominate a silver republican Tor
it's candidate.

the motion.
Another place where the republicans
showed a great deal Of foresight was
when their committee, appointed to no.
tify the populist convention of the &C
ceptance Of their proposition, went out
Of doors and met a committed from the
populists coming toward the court
house. The republican committee
blurted out at nee that the republicans
had acceded to the demands Of the pop
ulists. whereupon the committed from
the peoples party turned abruptly on
their heels n marched back to COT
onwood hall.
The republicans. in the fulness Of the
time. became aware that the committee
from the populists had just come to tell
them that their. the silver republicans
proposition had been accepted, but on
the pops learning Of the action of the
republicans. they lost no time in return
ing to the hall and began 10 nominate.
That is the way the thing looks on the
surface. but some of the republicans say
that they are satisfied. They admit that
they could find no man within their
party who could possibly defeat j. ii.
Duffy. the democratic nominee for the
office, and that they would rather sacri-
fee Walsh than James. Besides thls'
Mayor Leiser's victory" will doubtless
placate hat politician and make him
feel good and thus harmony may again
he restored i'm the silver republican
ranks. Anyhow, "A beaten candidate
for county attorney more or less makes
but little difference to the republicans.
The ticket nominated yesterday by the
two parties is weak i'm the extreme and
the general expression is that not a
man on II will come within range OF
success on election day. As
TO the democratic ticket, any person
must admit that II is doomed 10 defeat
and that a campaign on the republican
populist f~usionists' part Is a useless
waste Of energy.

Lodge yesterday is as follows:

The conventions were not largely at
tended. comparatively speaking the
highest vote I'm the silver republican
convention being IS. while the populists
mustered about IS. The delegates from
Anaconda left his city IN a special
train. which was advertised to leave at
9 O'Clock I'm the morning, but which d.
not start until after 10 o'clock. The
day was cold, miserahly so, and disa-
grcaable. Many Of the delegates were
accompanied by their wives. The peo'
