A Second Warning.

The Boise Sentinel speaks again
to the popullsts of the state, and
this time in no uncertain tones
about the danger of fusion. This
time it says
"Our readers will remember that
some months ago the Sentinel
warned popu!ists against the dam
ger of becoming a Jonah to the
democratic whale, and recent
events make it necess ~ to repeat
the warning.
Senator Marion Butler is a
we'll known ultra fusionist, having,
as national chairman of the popu
list party, theoretically moved
along fusion lines at every oppor-
tunity, in season and out of season,
for many months past. and on May
II he succeeded in inducing the
populist convention of North Car
olina to pass by all overwhelming
ajority fusion resolution.
The resolution itself is as
follows:
Resolved, That this convention
elect a Contere nee committee, which
shall be authorized to confer with
any party or faction of party.
that declares its endorsement of
the above principles and purposes.
and that favors co operation with
with peoples party, to carry the
same into effect upon such basis as
will maintain intact the integrity
OF the peoples party, and as will
preserve to it not less than its pres
ent representation in both state
and national affairs
There was fusion bid strong
enough for anybody, fuse with any
party or part of a party that would
give the populist party the same
quantity of spoils already enjoyed
ION May goth the democratic
convention met and rejected these
very pronounced over,ures, but in
vited' all persons to get under the
democratic umbrella, take seat
On the Chicago platform, and give
the officers salute to a democratic
band master.
The purpose is there displayed;
past efforts have so far demoralized
the populist party of that state that
they are not considered dangerous,
and now they are politely invited
TO help push the other fellows
wagon over the hill
1t will be ever thus when the
opportunity presents itself. not
only with the democratic party,
but with every party which gains
an ascendency over their erstwhile
ally

tonomy was rejected and he was executed
by order Of the insurgent commander. This
case has not been taken up In congress be-
fore. and it is said that the inquiry will
present the transaction in new light.
Although several members Of the COM
mittee insisted that the Cuban topic had
not been touched upon, except in the adop-

Mr.. Adams. chairman Of the Cuban COM
