ONLY ONE MORE YEAR OF FUSION


North Platte Tribune: Only one year more
Of fusion. say the democrats. and thea there
will be but two parties--the democratic
Jonah will have swallowed the populist
whale What a comforting thought to the
democrats who have been out in the rain 50
loug.
North Platte Tribune; When NJ, C, Har-
rington sad there will be but one more
year Of fusion he voiced the sentiment not
only Of the Nebraska democracy but OF w.
j. Bryan as we'll Mr.. Harrington probably
was a little premature in allowing the feline
to get out OF the bag, but the news had to
be broken sooner or later to the populists,
and perhaps the eo1ner the better.
Arlington Times: d. Glen Deaver has
Joined the letter gang and Is out with lie tie
showing up the iufamy OF the democrats and
their tools in the populist party AM adv sin 3
the true populists to vote the republican
ticket, or at least not TO vote the fusion
ticket. The only wonder to us is that MIR.
Deaver didn't find it cut sooner. Fusion
/ simply means rule or ruin and such policy
never could accomplish good. D.. Glen is
not the only one. There are others, and the
November election will reveal the fact In
Nebraska
Seward Reporter; All over the e.ate the
populists are beginning to find cut that they
are being swallowed by the democrats, Nj. G.
Harrington, who was nominated by the dem
ocrats for congress in the Sixth district, said
in recent letter that this will be the last
| year Of fueion" and that those democrats who
arc faithful will be given the plums here
after. ID. Glenn Deaver, member of the pop
| ulist national committee for Nebraska, has
| issued letter Of warning to the populists in
| which he tells them that their party organ
ization is being rapidly swallowed by the
| democrats. Many honest populists have al
! ready made up their minds to assist nc
longer in the democratic plan to captur,
| everything for themselves, and the return.
Of the election this year may be surprise
to some Of the democratic managers.
| Blair Pilot: M. C. Harrington, the dem
ocratic nominee for congress in the Sixth die
| trict, pulled off of the ticket and announced
that there would be but one more year OF
| fusion; that next year the democratic part!
would swallow UP the populist party ant
| that the present leaders Of democracy woulC
| be the leaders of the reorganized party. TIL,
! publication of the letter from Harrington, a.
! above stated, has caused CONSERVATION in tht
fusion ranks, and to these on the outside 1
| is plainly evident that there is turmoi
within. Instead of leading to reorganiza
tion it is leading to disorganization, and p p
| ulists who are populists from principle ant
| democrats who are patriots above partisan
| politics are lining up with republicans TO-
| Judge Reese, well knowing now the treach
cry Of their leaders
Crete Vidette: When the ice goes ou
in the spring Of the year one can heal
the rumbling sound for weeks. 1t does no
break up in one particular spot, but tn,
ice gets rotten and cracks. arholes aut
rents are noticeable everywhere upon tn,
surface. Since the appearance Of Mr.. Har
ringtons letter, in which he states "ther,
will be one more year Of fusion, then ther,
will be but two political parties-the re
publican and democratic''-very ominoui
sounds have been heard from honest popu
lists everywhere. The populists, who or
ganized the party, either left the republican
or democratic parties, for the purpose o
honest reform. They do not take kindl,
to the swallowing festival, which Mr.. Har
rington, Bryan and Holcomb have prepare,
for them. This week no less than a half
dozen indignant protests appear, from prom
inent populists in various parts of the state
in which they express themselves in n
mistaken language. Mr. Travis, a prorni
nent populist of Franklin county, Luciel
Stebbins, another one from Dawson county
ICaptain Hunter Of Lancaster, and last bu
not least, D. Cem Deaver Of Douglas county
and member of the populist national commit
tee write seathing articles denouncin
fusion and advising the populists to com
to the rescue by defeating slippery 81 an
electing the man who has always been tru
to the people-Hon M. B. Reese. The FEY
disreputable leaders Of populism who wer
willing to sell out the party for their ow
personal aggrandizement have beautiful
carved out their own political graves Har
rington gave the snap away and the break
ing up process is now on and Bryan an
Holcomb will have to work hard to furthe
hoodwnk or bamboozle these people.
