matter was to throw Towne over and
put in his place one who had never
been in sympathy with the populists.
He said that Townes' Withdrawal
would lose both Dakotas, Kansas and
the fusionists would have TO fight for
their lives in Nebraska.
J. H. Edmiston, chairman Of the
populist state central committee. was
even more radical. He declared that If
the popu!ists did not stand their
ground, hold their place on the ma
tional ticket and insist on the bull of
| the state offices, they could never hold
another national convention.
Just at a time when the sentiment
| seemed strong for breaking a~ay
] from all alliances a motion TO take
Ia recess prevailed. The democrats ad-
! iourned at the same time and the
leaders got together for conference
| with the result that the democrats
! yielded everything except one office or
the state ticket and divided with the
populists and free silver republicans
the presidential electors.
