NEBRASKA FUSI0NISTS.
They Make Slow Progress in their
Three State Conventions,

LINCOLN. NEB, August 2.-Nebras-
ka's fusion forces failed TO make a record
for themselves for industry in their three
State conventions held to-day. Begin
ming shortly after o'clock this after
noon, an evening recess found them
hardly wei begun, a permanent organiza-
ton and appointment OF the customary
committees being the sum total of the
work accomplished up TO to-nights ses-
sion.
An excuse for delay was found In the
fact that the Populists. Democrats and
Free Silver Republicans met in halls in
different parts OF the city and TO make
fusion binding it was necessary that con-
ference committees should make frequent
trips 20 and from the respective halls.
Interest conferred largely in the Populist
deliberations as IL was a foregone conclu-
sion that this branch of the political
family tree would dictate terms on
which the triple-allance would work to-
gether.
II was nearly 8 o'clock when the night
session began and twohours later the re-
port Of the Conference Committee on the
division Of the Offices among the three
parties were received. II recommended
that the Popuists be allowed 70 name the
head of the ticket Governor and that
such other State officers a had served
acceptably he renominated. There was
opposition but the report was adopted in
turn by each convention. II means that
the Populsts take every State Office ex-
ccpt Attorney General. which goes TO the
Democrats.
At 1890 nominations for Governor were
called for I'm the Populist convention.
The first formal ballot brought out
seventeen candidates for Governor. with
a. Pointer. Of Boone PopulisO, leading
in the Populist convention; Judge Ne
Vile. Of North Platte CPopulisD, with
Free Silver Republicans. while the Demo-
Gratis. dsregardng the agreement of the
conferes. cast their solid vote for At
t0rney General Smythe. a Democrat
The Democratic platform in part fol-
lows:
1--WE. the Democracy Of Nebraska, send
greeting 10 the brave men of the nation
who are fighting huamnity's battle and
attempting TO relieve the suffering pri-
walton and hunger OF a courageous. but
oppressed people. and for that purpose

cuba a government. created, maintained
and upheld by the consent Of the govern
ed and we pledge the President OF the
United States our most hearty support
in the vigorous prosecution OF the con-
hict."
W. j. Bryan is acknowledged as leader
and chieftaln Of the party, and the "Peo-
pies Champion"
The platform reafilrms that OF 1896 and
declares that the silver questions should
be the issue OF 1900. Opposes banks OF
issue: denounces the Dingley tariff law
as illogical and oppressive, and favors
an income tax.

GARCIA STILL FIGHTING.

PLAYA DEL ESTE. GUANTANAMO
BAY, August % p M.-News has been
received here to-day from General Garcia
and the cuban forces under him al May
ara, near the Bay or Nipe. on the north
coast of the province OF Santiago.
The report is that General Garcia has
been in a heavy fight with Spanish troops
who were trying 10 effect a junction with
the main body OF Spanish regulars at
Holguin. These Spaniards were probably
the force that evacuated Nipe Bay during
the recent naval bombardment. A large
body Of Cuban achievements had reach
ed General Garcia ana the impression IS
that he defeated the Spaniards in this en-
gagement, or at least held his own.
General Garcia had moved toward Hol-
gum. as IL was reported that the Span
iards were trying 10 open their way
through the Cuban lines 10 the province
Of Puerto Principe.
