POPS STILL DISAGREE
Small Chance of the Two Wings
Flopping Together.
TWO TICKETS POSSIBLE
Democrats and Silver Republicans VIII
Meet in Joint Convention
to Ratify the Nomi-
nations.

Special Dispatch to the Staaderi.
Boise, Idaho, Aug. 2s.-The calm after
the storm very nicely expresses to-day's
political condition. The delegates, worn
out by the long siege, have remained
inactive and the Sabbath quiet was not
disturbed even by convention echoes
which seemed softened and meIIowed.
During the day a number OF the demo-
Gratis and silver republicans departed
for their homes. leaving behind blocks
OF proxies to be used on the occasion Of
the joint convention. which will be held
to-day. to ratify the action OF tha two
parties.
The populists, for the most part, are
here yet and their leaders spent the
greater part OF yesterday in an en-
deavor TO, harmonize the differences
which proved irreconcilable prior to the
time the other two silver parties took
action, leaving them out Tonight is
was stated that the prospects OF a COM
plete reunion OF the two wings of the
popullst party were very bright. 1t
was understood a complete ticket would
be placed in the field by the consolidated
party, which would promulgate in its
platform the reason in detail why the
long -talked-of silver union failed Of ma
terialization, the responsibility being
placed upon the democrats and silver
republicans. AS to carrying out this
Idea, Mr.. Taylor of Canyon, who has
been called the father Of the fusion
populists' convention. to-day said that
he with others representing his conven-
tion told the joint conference of the
democrats and silver republicans they
would support, in the interest Of har-
mony. combination ticket that left
them out, even though the two parties
that have since fused took in the Blake
wing Of the populists. This, Mr.. Taylor
stated, he considered absolutely fair
and surrender Of the position taken
by his people. but the conference COM
mittees have smothered the proposition.
neither having reported it to its conven-
tion.
The members of the populist wings
held numerous conferences yesterday
with view to bringing about & reun-
ion Of the party. Tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock their conventions viii
again take up the question. Again
Gum seems to be the stumbling block.
and unless he will step down in the
interest OF harmony a complete union
may be out of the question. He has
been nominated by the fusion wing for
congress, and he and his friends NAV
Insist on the nomination, notwithstand-
ing that the democratic and silver re-
publican convention will meet at 10
O'Clock Tomorrow moring for the pur-
pose OF winding up the business OF the
respective bodies. after which they will
meet in Joint convention.
The democratic-silver republican
ticket, the nomination Of which was nor
completed until almost daylight this
morning. Is In full as follows: For JUS
tlce or the supreme court, Isaac y. Sui
llvan, silver republican: for governor.
Frank Steunenberg. democrat: for con-
gress, Edgar Wilson, silver republican:
Tor attorney general. L. II. Hays, dem
ocrat; Tor secretary OF state. Mart
Patrie, silver republican; for auditor.
bartlett Sinclair. silver republican: for
lieutenant governor, Joseph II. Hutch
inson. silver republican; for superin-
tendent of public instruction, Miss Per-
meal French, democrat: for treasurer.
Lucius c. Rice. democrat; for mine in
spector. Jay A. Csizek. democrat
II was stated late tonight that after
several conferences the populist wings
were further apart than ever and that
IL seemed impossible TO get them to-
gether. Ii is said that if they do not
unite before 3 o'clock in the morning
each faction would take up an inde-
pendent ticket. A stickler in addition
to Gum is the question OF the control
Of the state committee. which each
side claims IL must have as a condition
of union. Leaders of democrats ana
silver republicans are very apprehen-
sive in view OF the prospects of two in
dependent populist tickets and the like
lihood OF the entire populist vote of ths
state being taken from the fusion
ticket.
