Fusion Talk.
From Tuesdays Daily.

-
The committees appointed by the
populists and democrats to settle the
matter of a ticket will meet in Fargo to-
morrow to talk matters over and fix up
a ticket-if they see fit. The following
from the Fargo Forum is given as the
way the fusionists are talking down that
way:
The conference committees of the
democratic and populist parties will
meet here Wednesday to talk over the
ACCESSIBILITY of placing a ticket in the
field in opposition to that nominated by
the republican state convention last
week. It was the sense of the demo-
pop conventions at the time of an adj
jourDment that the committees should
name a full state ticket. There has been
a change since then and a movement is
on foot to have the opposition abandon
the name adopted, independent Demo-
crat,' and call the opposition movement
to the republicans a Citizens Ticket
This is done to corral all the republicans
whom it is imagined are sore over the
results of the state convention.
Another plan is to have some promin-
ent and d%isgruntled republican call a
state mass meeting. At this the repub-
licans will be allowed to control things,
largely, and the demo-pop combination
will do some pushing behind and at
tempt to defeat the regular nominees.
The trouble with this is the fact that
few prominent republicans are dis.
gruntled enough to take such radical
action. 1t would require more nerve
than some of the milk and water kick
ers could muster, and there appears to
be little danger of its accomplishment.
At first the pops wished Winshlp would
be sore enough to do this, but as he
went into the convention as a candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination it
would look as if he was too sore, and
would counterfeit whatever influence he
might have had, provided he had not
been before the convention. He could
not afford to take such radical action

Deputy Revenue collector Stevens has
received the following from the collector

OMAHA, NEB., July %, 1898.
To Deputy Collectors: Section 8 of
the act of June 10, 1898, imposes a tax
of SIS upon each billiard or pool table and

of tax it will be necessary for the tax
payers to state in their return on form

less their return on form II is made in

Hillsboro Banner: The ticket pres
ented at the head of these columns is
undoubtedly as strong a one as has ever
been placed before the electors of this
state for their approval. Together with
the platform, which has in it's planks
not a vulnerable point, it is bound to
lead to the glorious victory of the repub-
lican party of North Dakota.
Editor Carver of the Benson County
News, whose sympathies have peer for
Winship, says: The News would rather
have seen Winship nominated for COVER
nor, but as far as we know Mr.. Fancher
is good man and it is generally conceded
that he will make a good governor. And
as far as we know the rest of the ticket is
all right, too-you can't suit everybody.
Casselton Reporter: While there
were varying desires as to who should
head the ticket, and therefore disap-
p~ointments-as there always is-the
candidate for governor, Hon. F. B.
Fancher, of Stutsman. is ar able young
man who has demonstrated his capacity
for executive position. We believe that
as governor he will give the people a
clean, able administration.

The report that jamestown attorneys

Secretary Phelps will be a candidate

over twenty years. If Phelps is success
