The orogonian, october 4 lisa
II Is good time to press on the
sensorlum OF Portland the fact. never

This is an unanswerable argument

argument for Portland as well as for

FUSION IN FACT.

The Democratic state convention al
Milwaukee, last week, voted down the
proposition to formally fuse with the
Populists: but John +. SCHNEIDER, a
Populist, and candidate of his party
for Insurance commissioner, was also
nominated for the same office by the
Democrats. In a written statement
furnished to The Milwaukee Sentinel
for publication, Mr.. SCHNEIDER says
among other things:
"To your query whether | am a
Democrat or Populist, let me say:
] stand four-square on the platforms
adopted by the two conventions.
There Is nothing in either that con-
tradictS anything in the other. AS
for party names, care nothing about
them. 1t is the great and fundamental
principles which the parties enlnciate
to which ] am devoted"
In vigorous article The La Crosse
Chronicle says:
Mr.. Schindlcr's view Is accurate
when he says Of the Democratic and
Populist platform,
"Thc essence of fusion is in
the essential principles of the plat
forms, and not in the distribution
of the Offices"
The essence of fusionn Is in the
Chicago platform, which was framed
by fusionists and for fusionists, and
upon which alleged Democrats, Popu-
lists, and Silver Republicans united
for Bryan in 1896.
The Milwaukee Democratic conven-
tion, last week, rcaliirmcd this plat
form and added to IL some socialistc
characteristics not embraced In the
Chicago platform.
But one voice was raised against
that platform in the Milwaukee con
vcntion. John Maggie tried to get it
voted upon, section by section, and
was rulcd out.
Every candidate stands pledged to
IL, and, notwithstanding the fact that
fusion with the Populists was voted
down, two indisputable facts attest its
platform and Populist candidate for
insurance commissioner.
II the failure to vote for fusion is
taken ~ evidence that genuine Dem
ocracy controlled the convention it
will be necessary for those who make
that assertion to admit that the Chi
cago platform and the referendum "
are now genuine Democracy"

by tho Members OF tho United Mine
Workers IN West Virginia.
FAIRMoNT. W.. Va, May 1S.-Fred
Dilcher, a member OF the national board
OF United Mine Workers OF America,
has Just returned from Columbus, and
makes public a circular letter signed
by President NJ. p. Ratchford. asking
the manufacturers, railroads, buyers
and consumers Of coal. and the public
generally, to not use coal from the
Fairmont region, and asks all organic
cd workmen to use their efforts to
strengthen the boycott.
The circular states that the West Viz
ginia operators refused to take part In
the convention o~f'operators at Chicago,
that they refused to meet theI- men in
convention, that the mining rate In this
state is lower. the screens I'VE which
their labor. passes, larger, and the
prices for the n%ecessaries of life more
exorb!tant owing to the company stores,
than any other region In the United

with their employers and the natural
advantages such as to make coal pro-
duction In this state less costly than In
other regions.

TURPIE's SPEECH
On the War Revenue Measure was MOI
Ieautifai In Diction,

Iesutifui In Diction.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1S.-The
feature Of to-day's session OF the en-
ate was the speech OF Mr.. .Turpie, (Dem.
Ind.). upon the war venue measure.
He strongly contended that a bond is
sue was unnecessary; that all the funds
required for the prosecution OF the war
could be raised through the proposed
inheritance tax, by the tax on corpor-
atlons, by the coinage OF the silver
selgnioragc and by the issue of legal
tender notes. These four means OF OBJ
talning money would yield to the gov
eminent during the next year, he
maintained. fully $500, 900, 900, an amount
In excess Of the estimated sum neces-
sary for the conduct OF the war. The
speech was Enthusiastically beautiful
In diction. in close and forceful In rea-
soning. Senators on both sides OF the
chamber gave It undivided attention.
Considerable progress was made In
the reading of the bill, which included,
naturally, the consideration OF the
amendments proposed by the commit
tee. Through the interference OF Mr..
German, CDem., Md, the imprisonment
penalty was stricken out OF some OF the
sections relating to violations OF the
stamp tax.
After an extended debate, part OF
which occurred In secret executive ses-
sion. the conference report on the bill
%suspending certain parts OF the existing
law relating to the purchase OF supplies
by the war department was adopted.
The bill permitting officers OF the
regular army to accept staff appolnt-
ments in the volunteer army without
losing their rank or place in the regu-
lar service, was passed. 49,
