FUSION IN NEBRASKA.
Democrats, Populists and Silver Republi-
cans VIII Unite.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 2O-The state
conventions of the Democrats, Popu-
lists and Silver Republicans of Ne
braska will meet in this city on Tues
day, August 22nd, to place in nominal
ton as candidate for Justice of the
supreme court and two members of
the board of regents of the state uni
= versity. There will be a strong at
tempt made to fuse the three parties
on all the nominations with a good
prospect of success. EX-Gov. Silas
HolcOmb. Populist, is the leading can
didate for the supreme bench and the
present outlook is that he will receive
the nomination.
Col. w J. Bryan is a delegate to the
Democratic convention and it is rea-
sonably safe to predict that his wishes
will govern the actions of that body
This means that fusion will be a go,
and that the platform will declare for
free silver. There is likely to be some
friction before fusion is effected and a
long-drawn fight on some of the de-
tails, but the general feeling here is
that the three elements will come to-
gether.
On the question of the Philippines
the platform will in all probability de-
clare against expansion and criticise
the administration for its conduct of
the war.
Hatchets were suddenly produced.
counters Of shops, and a concerted rush
was made upon the church of ST.
Joseph The aged sacristan, seeing the
mob, hastily closed the outer gates, but
these were soon forced with hatchets
and bars of iron. The massive doors
were then attacked.
According to the first account, the
wild horde burst into the church, which
instantly became a scene of pillage and
sacrilege. Affairs and statues were
hurled to the floor and smashed; pic
lures were rent. candlesticks. orna-
ments and busts from high affairs were
thrown down and trampled under foot.
The crucifiX above was made the tar
get for missiles. and the figure of the
Savior was fractured in several places
When the police entered the church
the anarchists has just set fire to the
pulpit. The interior of the edifice was
a complete wreck. Several valuable
OLD pictures that can never be replaced
We're ruined.
Since o'clock the demonstrators so
far as Care de l'Este have been re-
peatedly driven back by police charges
