The conventions were the most remarkable
since fusion became a factor in Nebraska poll
tics. National politics was injected into the
proceedings, and at one time, though it had in
reality no bearing on the direct issues threat
ened a split between the Democrats and Popu-
lists. The question was over the endorsement
of Stevenson for vice president by the Popu-
hsts--purely a sentimental one-but ii pro
yoked storm in that convention.
The excitement developed by the .dispute
over the apportionmento Of state officers among
the three parties was heightened in the Popu-
list convention by the springing of the vice
presidential question.
At one point, NJ +. Harrington, one of the
leading Populists of the.west, warned the con-
vention that it would wreck the party if they
endorsed the withdrawal of Towne from the
ticket and conceded the other Democratic de
mands Mr.. Harrington asserted that the way
to increase the middle-of- the-road movement
was to throw Towne over and put in his place
one who had never been in sympathy with the
Pepulsts. He said Towne's withdrawal would
lose North Dakota South Dakota and Kansas
and the fusonists would have to fight for their
lives i'll Nebraska.
]. Fl. Edmiston, chairman of the Populist
state central committee and vice chairman of
the national committee was even more radi-
cal He declared if the Populists did not
stand their ground, hold their place on the
national ticket and insist on the bulk of the
state officers they could never hold another
convention.
At one time when the sentiment seemed
strong for breaking away from all alliances, a
motion to taxea recess prevailed. The Dem
ocrats adjourned at the same time and the
leaders got together for conference with the
result that the Democrats yielded every thing,
accepting but single office the state
ticket and dividing with the Populists and free
Silver Republicans the eight presidential cleo
tors
The conference committees were discharged,
the Populsts sent their ultimatum to the
Democrats on tho question of the division of
state officers. 1t was accepted, and Governor
Poynter's nomination followed. The ticket
was completed with fair degree of alacrity.
