Cato Sells could have been nominated
for Governor. but was not acceptable-to
the Populists and withdrew, throwing
his strength to White, who was the can.
didate on the fusion ticket two years
ago, being defeated by Governor Shaw.
The convention was very turbulent.
throughout and the business was trans
acted with difficulty. but the results
are satisfactory to the radical silver:
element, which was in control. 1t is
not probable, however, that the sound
money element will make an attempt
to maintain separate organization.
