FUSION INCONSISTENCIES.

"The inconsistency OF the Populists
and Democrats in this convention is
something amusing, and as the cam
paign progresses and their platforms
are discussed from an intelligent and
consistent standpoint before the voters
OF the state it will result in bringing
home to the Democrats and conserva-
tive Populists the ridiculous position in
which they are placed by the actions OF
those conventions.
"The Populists have chosen for their
CHI airman and manager Mr.. Kidd, aman
who, but a few days before his election,
in a speech in his county convention,
proclaimed the fact that Free silver or
the money question is a humbug and q
delusion; that the party OF reform is
passing and the party OF revolution is
coming He it was who, in his farewell
to the people OF the state, in his news
paper, the Aberdeen Star, proclaimed
the fact that when he again entered pol
itics or journalism, it would be Tor the
cause OF revolution. And yet the Pop
ulist party OF the state has endorsed the
utterances OF this socialist and has Sc
lected him to lead the campaign.
