How the Ticket Was Named.
Fort Scott, Kan, July 26.-The pop
ulists won victory over the demo-
Gratis in their fight for division of
the state ticket. They forced the dem
ocratic conferecs to break the To-
pcka agreement and give them asso-
ciate justice. In exchange they give
the democrats attorney general. The
conference committed, composed of
seven democrats, seven free silver re-
publicans and II populists, at ten
O'Clock last night agreed upon u re-
port. 1t follows:
THAT the following Offices be al
lotted to the populists: Associate
justice, governor, lieutenant governor,
ongressmen-at-largc, state auditor
and superintendent of public instruc-
ton. That the democrats be given
the Offices of secretary of state, state
treasurer and attorney general. That
the silver republicans be given insur-
ance superintendent. We further rec

as follows: Four to the populists,
four to the democrats and two to the
silver republicans"
In the democratic convention the
very first thing taken up was the con-
ference committees report. The reg
ular order would have been TO nomi-.
nate n candidate for associate justice,
but j. q. johnson stepped forward
with a motion TO transpOse the order
of business by making the report of
the conference committee the first
thing to be considered. II was clear
that the populists must he given the
associate justice or harmonious fu-
sion would fail. In the interest of
ling of the Kansas electoral vote for
Mr.. Bryan, the democrats felt that
they must make concession.
The democrats, he said, had at the
Hotel Throop conference demanded
attorney general and not associate
justice. But ut that time the popu
lists, on the advice of eX-Gov. j. w.
Leedy, had refused to give up attor-
ney general and had offered the asso-
ciate justice instead. The demands OF
the populists were eXatly what the
democrats had offered ut first and the
committee had, he said, finally agreed
to let them have what they asked.
The convention adopted the report
Of the conference committee by viva
voce. Less than n dozen votes were
cast in opposition. The next order OF
business was the nomination of a
candidate for secretary of state.
Tully Scott presented the name OF
Abe Frakes, of Wakeeney. +. J. Oyler
nominated David ID. Leahy, of Wich-
ita. Frakes was nominated. The
vote stood, Frnkes, 332H, Leahy, 1861.

nomination of Fralies was made unan.
imous. For the Office Of state treas
urer, Judge NJ. Schoorov~r nominated

ty, and ]. NJ. MCGOWAN nominated

drew, pleading the demands of his
private business and Marshall was

Vile, of Marshall, nominated Judge
