FUSION IN IDAHO.
Chairmen of the Democratic and
popuIist Stnte Committees Agree.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. S.-Mr. Bryan
has been consulted concerning the situation
in Idaho On Monday Chairman Perky, Of
the Democratic State Committee. and
Chairman Andrews, of the Populist Com
mittee, called at the Bryan home. and in
the presence of Mr.. Bryan declared that
there never had been any differences be-
t,ssen them to amount TO anything, and that
in the future all would be harmonious. In
speaking of the matter, Vice Chairman Ed
misten. of the Popuiist National Commit
tee, said today:
Trouble that has been experienced in
perfecting fusion in that State l am quite
confident will soon be all smoothed over.
Chairman Perky, of the Democratic State
Committee, and Chairman Andrews, OF the
Populist State Committee. OF Idaho. were
both here for a few hours Monday, and to-
gether called on Mr.. Bryan. 1t developed
that there was not a single point OF diiier-
ence between the two chairmen, and they
were confident of their ability TO so arrange
matters that there will be put one fusion
ticket in the State.
They promised Mr. Bryan that there
would be but one electoral ticket. The
Democratic candidate for Congress VIII
probably Withdraw. together with most OF
the Populist candidates on the State ticket,
while all three parties will support Fred

A Reunited Democracy.
THE PLANS FOR FUSION.
Executive Committee of the Popu-
lists to Meet Today.

CHICAGO, Aug. s.-Plans for complete
fusion Of the Populist and Democratic
party management in the present CAM
paign will be discussed at the meeting Of
the Executive Committee Of the Populist
National Committee, which will be held in
the Sherman House tomorrow.
The Populist committee, which will take
action on the proposed fusion with the
Democrats. is that which was selected at
the National Convention held in Sioux
Falls in June. II is a fusion body strictly,
and there is no doubt that plan of CO.
operation with the Democrats Will be ar
ranged. The Sioux Falls Convention, it is
said was as much Democratic as Popu-
list assemblage. Its purpose was to so fix
matters that a fusion with the Democrats
could be easily effected.
The Executive Committee can take no
action as to Mr.. Towne's deolination fur
Their than to recognize officially the fact
that he has declined, and TO call meeting
of the whole Populist National Committee
to fill the vacancy. This meeting of the
full committee will be called for an early
date, so as to give the Democratic Popu-
list Campaign Committees ample opportu-
nifty to prepare plans fol joint work. Mr.,
Towne will attend the meeting OF the
Executive Committee and assist in the
fusion scheme.
Mr.. Bryan will be here and will take
part in these conferences. Mr.. Stevenson
will also be invited o attend, and it is
thought that when ne Popuiist commit
tee adiourns the complete plan of fusion
for the campaign will be arranged.

THOMAS TO STEVENSON.
The Governor Notifies the Vice Pres
idential Candidate.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. s.-The
speech of Governor Thomas, formally no.
tifying Mr. Stevenson of his nomination
for the Vice Presidency by the Democratic
National Convention, was briefer than the
other addresses, but was no less eloquent.
II follows:
For the second time you have been
chosen by the National Democracy as its
Vice Presidential candidate. This signal
honor is not unprecedented. but 1t is not
less exceptional. Elected TO that high Of
flee eight years ago. you discharged It's du-
ties faithfully and well, retiring with the
respect. love and the confidence of all the
people. Thus endeared to your party its
recent action was merited and appropriate
Long before the Kansas City Conven-
ton was called. its Presidential candidate
had been selected. Its platform had been
foreshadowed by the events of the sue
ceeding years. To complete the ticket
wisely and well was a serious and exigent
duty. Arrayed against money, monopoly,
and militarism the associate of our great
leader should be devoted to the same ideals,
equipped for the same duties, inspired by
the same convictions and prepared to sus-
tain the same burden If Providence should
80 decree Conscious OF this great respor :
sibllity, but ready to meet it squarely, our
Convention on the first ballot gave you its
nomination.
"The Democracy long ago endorsed liz
action. The people will gloriously vindi-
cate 1t in November. The campaign OF
1900 is no holiday affair; like that of JEFF
ferson, II involves the great questions
whether the people of the classes shall
rule, whether the principles OF his immortal
Declara.ion are transient or fundamental.
