FUSION In KANSAS.
POpulists, Free Silver Republicans
and Democrats.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 15.-There is every
indication tonight that the plans for COM
pact fusion of the free-slver forces of Kan
sas in the coming state election will go
through. Three state conventions are sit
ting-the Populists and the free-siver Re
publicans in this city and the Democrats at
Atchison. After adopting platforms and
appointing conference committees to meet
with committees from the other conven-
tions the Democrats and free-silver Repub-
lican conventions adjourned till tomorrow
morning. The Populists fell into a bitter
wranGle over State issues, and an adjourn
ment was taken until TOMORROW. All of
the present Populist state officers, with one
exception, will undoubtedly be renominated
by each of the three conventions. The ex-
ception is in the case Of Lieutenant, Gov
ernor Harvey, who has gone to war, and it
is probable that his place on the ticket will
be given to a Democrat.
