ty in this state. and that said conventions

garding fusion and urging tho members
OF ,h. three parties to send no delegates
except those who will heartily favor and
vote for an alliance Of the silver forces of

tons OF the fusion committee to tho con.
vent'ons. OF course tho resolutions Of
the joint committee are simply in the
nature OF recommendation TO tho state
conventions but, II a fusion 10 accom-
plishcd. 1t is very probable that these or
