The record-union., 1898-09-08


State Senator Miller of Walla Walla
a middle-of-the-road Democrat, intro
duced a resolution to the effect that if
fusion is effected it be done under the
name of the Democratic party
After some discussion the resolution
was referred to the Committee on Res
olutions.
E. V. Dillon moved that the Con-
ference Committee use it's best efforts
to secure fusion under the Democratic
name. The motion was adopted, and
the convention was then addressed
briefly by Congressman Lewis. United
States Senator Turner and others
Conference and State Central Com
mittees were chosen, after which the
convention adjourned until Z D. m.
At to-night's session of the Popu-
lists, Metcalf of Stevens County intro
duced the following resolution, which
was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, as it is rumored that there
is a strong move in certain quarters to
induce the Peoples Party to surrender
their party name in the event of fusion
with the Free Silver Republicans and
the Democrats;
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that should such fusion be
effected the Peoples Party will not
consent to the surrendering of their
party name, and that the Conference
Committee selected to confer with the
Free Silver Republicans and Demo-
Gratis are hereby instructed that they
have no power or authority to con-
slider such a proposition in their de-
alterations with the Conference Com
mittees appointed by the Free Silver
Republicans and Democrats.
Cline of Thurston offered a motion to
the effect that the next United States
Senator should come from the Peo-
pies Party. Considerable discussion
followed. The matter finally was set
tied by laying on the table until the
Conference Committee made it's report
to the convention.
After the convention had concluded
its business for the night it was adj
dressed by United States Senator
Turner.

The question of the hour seems to be
fuse or not fuse. Many in the west ia
vor fusion, While those from the south
are in favor of going it alone.
Tomorrow startling developments
are anticipated. The Silverites seem
quite independent as to fusion, but a
close observer can see that both par
ties are not little concerned as to the
result.
