THE CONVENTIONS.
Fusion Will Carry apd
Strong Ticket Will Lead
to Victory.

VIRGINIA CITY, Sept. 6.-The old city
of Virginia is decidedly lively apd the
two Conventions are to meet here today.
The Silvermen will meet in Pythian
Hall At II O'Clock, while. tho Democrats
meet in Piper's Opera House. Every
where is the cry for Bryan, and it is al
most impossible to hear tho sound OF
anything Republican in the old town
On every delegate, and there are plenty
of them, are seen badges with Bryan's
face and there is not a particle OF doubt
but that fusion on the electors will 60
through with wheop. There is no fight
on this score and Nevada is absolutely
safe for Bryan. The streets present
lively appearance and il is common to
see "a Democrat and Silver man hang
! ing onto each others Dutton holes and II
they disagree on any one sui'"ct, they
drift back to harmony and assert that
| the electots must be straight and no split
| will occur. Most Of tho rumOrs OF rue
ton are circulated by sore Republicans
and when traced down cut no figure
with either side.
The Silver Convention came to order
at y o'clock aud James II. Kinkead
was chosen temporary Chairman and
Nate Rolf was selected as Secretary.
A Committee on Credentials was then
selected and with little more business
in sight the convention adjourned until
l:3O.
At Piper's Opera House the Demo-
Gratis Gid not get down to work until |
o'clock. G. II. StOddard was chosen
as temporary Chairman and f. L..
Bin ham selected as Secretary and d..
L morrill, flied the position of Assist
ant Secretary.
y discussion arose over the appoin t.
meat Of a committee on credentials.
ALI Chartz moved that each county
name membe Clay ton Belknar
and Major Dennis advocated smaller
com mittee. 1t was finally decided tc
appoint committee of seven.
James Catalan was chosen sergeant
alarms.
IL was moved that committee OF
seven be appointed on platform and
resolutions. This precipitated lively
debate. Van DIzer stood for ONT
, member from each county He waxec
warm and eloquent on the subject
claiming that county with no dele
gates present had as much voice a
another.
An amendment was offered by Mr.
Booher to the effect that each count,
represent ted in person be entitled to
place on the com nittee. The question
then arose as to the propriety of ap
pointing the committee at that time
The point was raised that the perma
neni organization had not been effected
= and it was finally decided to await tn
] report of the committee on credential
= before taking action. Adjourned un
! til 3 o clock
q committee OF Ii from the Demo
:. cratic party was appointed to COME
with the Silver party committee o
fusion.
Conventions are in session and the prot
i abilities are strong for late session Il
u night. Up to the present time every
K thing has passed off with perfect ha
msny. Both Conventions have appoin
ed a committee of fourteen for fusion a
rans.ments and the two bodies ha,
agreed to divide the Offices as follows:
10 Silver: Supreme Judge, one Preside
S, lial Elector and one Long Term Roger
ne Democrats: Congressman, two ElectO
lie ana one Short Term Regent.
es There is little doubt but that Ne'
H. lands will be the unanimous choice f
p Congressman. The fight for Supleti
-. Judge is pretty hotiy contested. Bonr
field is in the lead with. Woodhurn, Fl,
&c gerald, Huffaker, Brown and Curler
