able that the Silver Republicans ana Demo
Gratis are counting a fusion with the Re

looks more real for the reason that the Re
publicans. Democrats and Silver Repub-
leans have all called their respective coun-
" conventions, to meet In this city on Sep
tember l. The POpu.ists have called their
convention to meet at Chewelan on August
q. and have refused 10 consider any prop
osition OF the other elements OF silver
for a fusion This dscord OF feeling be
tween the P0pulists and the other elements
OF the free silver cause is tho result OF
bitter strife between The same organiza-
tons in the last campaign. when there
were three parties in the field. and the
Populists swept the field 10 the tune OF
