Boise Ida, Aug. 2S.-The calm after
the storm very nicely expresses to-
days political condition The dele
gates, worn out by the long siege, have
remained inactive and the Sabbath
iquietude was not disturbed even by
Convention echoes, which seemed soft
ened and mellowed.
During the day number of the
Democratic and silver Republican dele
gates departed for their homes. leav-
ing behind blocks of proxies to be used
on the occasion of the joint convention,
which will be held tomorrow to ratlfy
the action of the 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 harmonic the differences
which proved reconcilable prior to the
time the other two silver parties took
action leaving them out Tonight it
was stated that prospects of com
plete reunion of the two wings of the
Populist party were very bright. 1t
was understood a complete ticket
would be placed in the field by the
consolidated party, which would Incl
oentally promulgate in its platform the
reason in detail why the long talked-ot
silver union failed of NATURALIZATION,
the responsibility being placed upon
the Democrats and silver Republicans.
AS carrying out this idea, Mr.. Taylor
of Canyon, who has been called the
father of the fusion Populist conven-
ton, today said that he, with others
representing his convention, told the
Joint conference of-the Democrats and
silver Republicans they would support
in the interest OF harmony a combina-
ton 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 a sur
render of the position taken by his
people, but the conference commit
tees had smothered the proposition,
neither having reported it to its con-
Vention.
\ The members of the Populist wings
Ned numerous conferences yesterday
with the view to bring about a reunion
of the party. Tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock their convention will again
take up the question. Again Gum
seems to be the stumbling block and
unless he viii step down in the inter
est of harmony a complete union may
be out of the question. He has been
nominated by the fusion wing for con-
gress, and he and his friends may in
sist on the nomination standing.
The Democratic and silver Repub-
lican conventions will meet at 10 to-
morrow morning for the purpose of
winding UP the business of the re-
spective bodies, after which they Will
meet in joint convention.
