w. w. Boolier of Eli<o, short term,
Democrat.
From the Virginia Report:
Fusion has been accomplished at last.
The friends of the silver cause in Ne
vada have united for the common good
and corporation influence and dictation
have been given just rebuke. The event
is most important one, and Nevada
may now clear herself and expunge the
reputation of being the ''rotten Dor
ough'. The traitors to the party were
sternly and Justly 1ayed and a feeling
OF relief seems to prevail in being rid of
them.
The conventions of the Silver and
Democratic parties met here on Thurs
day afternoon the former at Pythian
hall the latter at the Opera House. At
the Silver Party convention, Jas. H.
Kinkead was chosen temporary chair
man and Nate Rolf filled the position OF
secretary. At the Democratic conven-
ton, c. II. Stoddard and T. L. Bing-
ham were chosen as temporary officers.
Besides the regular committees on Gre
dentials, Order Of Business and Plat
form, committee of fourteen members
was appointed by each convention to
confer on terms OF fusion, after which
the conventions ad journed until eve
ming to await the report of the Fusion
Committee.
When the conventions reconvened at
o'clock, the following report was read :
I'VE, your committee on conference
lind that the Silver Party is entitled to
nominate the Judge of the Supreme
Court, one elector and one long term
regent and that the Democratic party
will nominate two electors and one short
term regent and that both conventions
nominate Francis G. Newlands for Con-
gress.
This report met with the approval Of
the Silver Party convention and was
| adopted, but to the Democrats it proved
unsatisfactory, as they felt that too
| much had been conceded. They ac-
| cordingly instructed their committee to
reopen negotiations with the Silver
Party and see what could be done in
the matter Of securing better conces-
siOns.
As a result Of the second conference,
the first report was re-ailifmed with
The added provision that the two nom
mate the Supreme Judge. This new
arrangement was not entirely satisfac-
tory To the Silver Party convention, in
which there were many friends OF Judge
Bonnitield, who saw that their candid
ate was sure TO be defeated in the Joint
con ventlon, but the wiser heads pre-
vailed and the report was adopted by
L vote of 66 to %. 4 motion TO make
Il unanimous was opposed. The con-
ventions then adjourned until tho fol-
lowing morning.
When they re-conyened, both con-
veDtions first proceeded to make the
nominations for Presidential Electors
and Regents, with the result that Rich
ard Kirman of Ormsby county was
named by the Silver Party, and John
Dennis Of WashOe and John Weber of
White Pine were named by the Demo.
cratic Party for Electors, each conyen-
ion endorsing the nominations of the
other. The Democrats nominated w.
W. Booher Of Elko for Short Term Re
gent and the Silver Party named j. N.
Evans Of Washoe for Long Term Re-
gent. Both parties nominated Francis
q. Newlands for Congress.
This work having been accomplished.
