AN ENTERINa WEDGE.
Fusionists Charge Republicans With
Repudiating Railway Pledges.

The Populists and Democrats are to-
day charging the Republicans with re-
pudiation of their party platform with
regard to the railroad law that is now
completed and approved for passage
There has been a big fight among the
Republicans in committees and caucus,
themselves. upon the point Of how the
three railroad commissioners should be
selected. Up to the last moment it was
hard to decide whether they should be
appointed by the executive council or be
elected by the people. The pressure up
ON the former method was so great that
final approval has been given to the Sc
lection Of these officials by the executive
council.
The plank Of the party platform that
was adopted last May to which the flu
sionists, now that they are TO have the
band wagon rolled over them and de-
bate shut off by the bill being reported
on third reading subject to only techni-
cal amendment in debate, point as evil
dence Of this population reads as fol-
lows.
We favor the re-establishment of the
board of railroad commissioners with
such additional powers as shall render
their work effective and with power to
fix and enforce just rates and recon-
mend the election OF the members OF the
board by the people

a continuation of bear news and bearish
statistics this morning and the market
opened of about a quarter of a cent. This
was not hardly as low as the trade had
figured on, and as the crowd had accuml1-
lated quite a short interest during the
past two days there was disposition on
their part to cover over Sunday, which
they proceeded to do on quiet market,
causing an unnatural advance. Liver
pool cables were a half penny lower and
bids from, abroad were entirely out of
line. Northwest receipts. while smaller
than a year ago, were ample. IL cars. and
northwest markets were inclined to weak
ness The flour trade is duh and there
does not seem to be a satisfactory de-
mand from consumers anywhere The
strength in corn helped sustain wheat and
also caused nervous shorts to cover. The
Price Current, which Is considered the
best grain trade authority, IS very bearish
on wheat-and they are nearly always
right. We see nothing to warrant buy
