So far the executive committee Of the peo-
pies independent party and the committee
Of the democratic party have failed to get
together on the fusion ticket, which is to
be remodeled II the plans Of the populists
prevail. An urgent invitation has been ex-
tended to Peter Hofeldt to resign as the
democratic nominee for county commits
sioner from the country district in order to
permit tho substitution Of the populist
nominee. There is no way in which the va
cancy demanded by the populists can be
made unless Mr.. Hofeldt steps down and
out This he has so far declined to do. and
the chances for a three-cornered tight in
that district, with the certain election OF
the republican candidate, is bright. In the
event that the democrats cannot substitute
the populist for Mr.. Hofeldt there is a
probability that the populists will nominate
q complete legislative ticket. Under the
power conferred upon the committee by the
convention 1t cannot endorse the demo-
cratic nominees unless those nominees en-
dorse the local platform and Mr.. Hofeldt
withdraws. They can, however hll vacan-
cies, and there are several on the ticket
left there to provide places for the demo-
Gratis.
