 Several of those whose names were signed to the above were seen yesterday and asked
 concerning the details, but they said that there was very little to tell. They said that
 the ticket put out by the democratic county convention on April 13 was az unfair one and was a ticket which did not represent
 all classes. They propose to do better if
 they can.
 They say that only straight silver men
 will be selected and that no attempt at compromise or fusion with the republicans will be made, although they hope for the latter's support. They say that it is not known what Professor M. V. Henry, who
 has announced himself an independent
 candidate for probate judge, and his friends
 will do; that is, whether he will join the
 "cits'" ticket or not.
 The opinion of the leaders in the move
 ment is that the populists will all support
 this ticket, although 1t Is not entirely a
 populist movement. It will be remembered
 that the populist county convention, which
 met here April 30, appointed a committee of seven, with full power, to act on the
 matter of putting out a populist ticket.
 Several of this committee have their names attached to the above call. and they will, as a committee, it is Said, endorse the ticket
 put out next Saturday.
 The ''cits'' hope to get the support of the republicans and of all other anti-demo- cratic forces In this movement. but the re-
 publicans deny that they will have any,
 thing to do with tba scheme
