F~USIONISTS.
Democrats Compelled to Give Pops Al
Offices But Attorney General,

Lincoln, Aug. 2.-Nebraska fusion
forces failed to make for themselves a
record for industry in the three state
conventions held today. 1t was near
ly 8 o'clock when the night session be-
a and W hours later the report of
the conference committee on the di-
vision of the offices among the three
parties was received. 1t recommends
that the populists be allowed to name
the head of the ticket (governor) and
that such other state officers as have
served acceptably be renominated.
There was opposition but the report
was adopted in turn by each v
tion. 1t means the populists are to take
every state Office except attorney gen
eral, which goes to the democrats.
A formal ballot brought out seven
teen candidates for governor, w. A.
Poynter of Boone, a populist, leading
in strength in the populist convention;
Judge Neville Of North Platte, p
list, with the free silver republicans,
while the democrats, disregarding the
agreement Of the conference, cast their
solid vote for Attorney General Smith.
a democrat. The second and third were
u~neventful, but the fourth saw the
populists give Poynter a majority, and
he was declared the nominee of that
convention. About the same time The
free silver republicans veered from Ne
vile to Poynter, giving him a fiatter-
ing vote, but declining to make him
the unanimous choice. The democrats
on the fourth ballot again cast a solid
vote for Smith, and as it requires a
majority Of all three conventions to
nominate, the democrats are able to
block progress indefinitely.

LANDED AT
American Colors Hoisted Over Two
More Porto Rico Towns.

New York, Aug. "A cable to the
Herald from Guayama Bay, Porto Rico,
Monday, by the Herald's dispatch boat
Mindora to St. Thomas, D. w. l.. Tues
the st. Louis, today seized Arroyo and
Guayama and hoisted the stars and
stripes over both places. BY this stroke
General Miles will be able to land
troops at the southeastern corner of the
island, and cut off 40 miles Of the march
upon San Juan.
No opposition was offered to the
Americans when the St. Louis, the
Wasp and the Gloucester entered Quay
anna bay. Captain Goodrich landed a
small detachment Of men from his YES
sci, leading them in person into the
village OF Arroyo.
Finding themselves in undisputed
possession, the American party then
proceeded forward to Guayama. five
miles distant, where they were able to
establish themselves without opposi-
ton. There is a direct road from Ar
royo to Cayey, where 1t connects with
the military road extending from Ponce
to San Juan.
The Wasp and Gloucester left Port
of Ponce early this morning to meet
the st. Louis. They entered Guayama
bay ahead Of the auxiliary cruiser, to
reconnoiter. Encountering no opposi-
ton, Captain Goodrich took a party OF
men ashore. They seized the town OF
Arroyo without resistance and raised
the American flag. They then went on
to Guayama, which is five miles west
OF Arroyo, and thirty miles east OF
Ponce. Guayama, 1t was learned,
had been abandoned on Fri
day night by a garrison of 300 men
who went to Cayey. Arroyo and Quay,
anna. with the harbors, will lbe used by
the Americans as a base of supplies. II
Is probable that the entire second di-
vision Of the army will be landed al
|Guayama bay with supplies. The two
divisions Of troops then al effect q
juncture at Cayey, and advance to-
gether on the military road to Sar
Juan.
This plan contemplates the placing
of the entire southern half Of Porte
Rico under the control Of the American
army.
The arrival Of General Brooke place,
him in immediate command at tn
Operations. General Wilson retains
command Of the first division Of troops
which are now three miles from Jual
Diax.
Colonel Rulings and his handful O
men will be reinforced by tomorrow.

his pocket and took out clay pipe and
some tobacco. He had just lighted the
pipe and taken Il few whiffs when n
Mauser bullet clipped the stem close TO

the bowl was not broken and that suf.
ficient of the stem remained to afford n
purchase for his lips. he picked up the
pipe, filed ii with tobacco again, lit it

MAY GO TO PORTO RICO
LEE AND HIS MEN TO SEE SERVICE THERE
Probability Of an Early Peace Causes Changes
in The Plans at Washington. Porto
Rico Now Instead of Havana.

Washington, ID. c., July 26.-(Special.)
General Fitzhugh Lee and his men
will, in all probability. see active ser
vice in the Porto Rican campaign unless
the action of Spain suing for peace shah
happily end hostilfies very soon.
While no direct confirmation can be
secured for the report, the high military
authority from which it'came and the
manner in which it became public leave
no room for doubt as to its accuracy,
and no denial was made by any one ut
the War Department. The original plan
as has been stated was to send General
Lee to Havana when operations began
around that city, and it is very probable
that the prospect of an early effort on
the part of Spain to secure peace caused
n change of plans to enable General Lee
to see active service. In addition to the
Second and Fourth Virginia regiments
the First North Carolina is also in Gen
eral Lees corps.

SOME POPULIST MISTAKES.

When the Populists told the people
two years ago that the election of Nc
Kinley meant ruin for the country,
they were mistaken; when they said
bonds must be issued if the Republi-
cans won, they were mistaken: when
they said money would be scarce that
no one could get dollar unless he
paid an eXOrbitant rate of interest,
they were miStaken; when they said
that Mckinley was the tool of the
corporate interests and would not be
president of and for the people, they
were mistaken; when they said the
gold standard would bankrupt tie
country, they were mistaken; when
they said Bryan must be elected in
order to bring prosperity to the coun-
try, they were mistaken: when they
said Republican success meant lower
wages for the working man, they were
mistaken: when they said that Re
publican victory meant less work,
they were mistaken; when they said
that the free coinage of silver was
necessary to make better times, they
were mistaken; when they said Re
pQolIOlh NOuANt CC dOIA
to the interests of the people and the
country, they were mistaken: when
they said that the Republican theory
of finance would cut the wages of the
working men in half. they were mis-
taken: when they said Republican
rule would bring disaster to the far
mer and laborer of America, they
were mistaken: when they said that
the corporations and the corporate in
tereStS would become the rulers of the
country, they were mistaken; when
they said Mark Hanna owned McKin-
ley, they were mistaken: when they
said that Mckinley was not a strong
man, they were mistaken: when they
said that patriotism was dead and
that money was King of America,
they were mistaken. In fact they
were mistaken in every assertion they
made two years ago, and the splendid
record of America in peace and war
for two years has demonstrated that
the Republican party can and does do
everything the opposition says it
can't do, and has failed to do every
thing the opposition said it would do.

That Populist Campaign Hand Book.

If there is anything the Pops are
loading a lot of rubbish and figures
this great ''oracle" jumps onto our
representation in the State Legisla-
ture, and saws on page 20:
The present constitution provides
that the number of Legislators shall
never exceed I25 Representatives and
40 Senators, and that each organized
county in which not less than 200 le-
gal votes were cast at the last general
election is entitled to a Representa-
tive" This gives representation in
the Legislature in the west part of
the State to each organized county in
which not less than 200 votes were
cast at the last general election, and
compelS the east part of the State, as
new counties are organized, to unduly
enlarge their Representative districts.
There is neither equality or justice
IN this method of selecting legiSla-
tors. 1t becomes the next thing to
no representation to a great number
of people. The last Legislature was
a fine example of this method of Sc
Letting members Some excellent and
much needed legislation was defeated
because the majority of the small dis
trict statesmen did not belong to the
party seeking the legislation.
Besides. it offers a great field for
corruption in the selection of legisla-
tive members by persons and corpora
tions wanting to obtain special legiS-
latiOn. or prevent the making of use
full and beneficial laws. or to get votes
for the United States Senator'S
This is a fine scheme They propose
to give us one Representative for
every twelve counties in the western
part of the state.
We denounce as infamous and SLAM
derous that claim that the SMALL
DISTRICT STATESMEN defeated s'some
excellent and much needed legisla-
tion-''
We are at loss to see how the
SMALL STATESMEN defeated so much
.sexcellent needed legislation" BE
sides it offers a field for corruption"
Are all the SMALL STATESMEN bood-
lers? are none but the western rep
resentatives subject to corruption?
The last legislature was by large
majority in both houses Pop, they ac-
complished nothing. Some of their
sshobbiess were passed by both houses
and the ssgreat and good" governor
vetoed the bills and now the western
Representatives are slandered and
abused to hide the folly of the sins of
their own party.
