FUSI0NISTS IN KANSAS.
Uncertainty a. TO whether Agree
1ents Will ne Kept At Coming
state Convention.

FORT SCOTT, Kan. July 2S.-A vague
uncertainty characterizes the probable
action OF the Democratic. Populist and
Silver Republican conventions. scheduled
TO meet here tomorrow. While there Is a
strong influence working for the fulfill
ment OF the agreement OF the state com
mittees months ago, as to a distribution
OF the offices In order TO effect a fusion,
there Is also an opposition OF considerable
proportions to this arrangement caused
by tho candidacy Of a number OF men
whose nominations must necessarily be
in violation of the agreement. An open
conference of Democrats and Populis,s
was held this morning at which a general
feeling in favor Of standing by the agree
ment was displayed.
But Chairman Riddle. OF the Populist
committee. insisted on suggesting that
the Democrats nominate State Senator
John Martin as their candidate for asso-
ciate justice. Martin is not a Democrat
and the Office Ia to go TO the Democrats
under the agreement. II the Democrats
nominate him an enthusiastic fusion Will
be effected beyond doubt. II they refuse
the agreement may be broken and in that
case an entirely new deal will have to be
arranged.
For governor, John w. Rreidenth,l Of
Topeka, Is tho most formidable candidate

he. and until such a government IS
