Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 7.-Harmonious populists of Nebraska was threatened by the action of the democratic state convention, which. at an early hour Thursday morning nominatel A c. Shalienberger for governor instead of George w. Berge, whom the popul- ists had confidently counted upon as the choice of both conventions. Furthermore the democrats showed a disposition to select a straight party ticket without populist representation upon 1t. There was a debate of over an hour in the democratic conven- tion on the question of nominating a United States senator and it was de- cided in the affirmative The ticket is as follows:
 For United States Senator-William II. Thompson, Grand Island govern or, Ashton c. Shallenberger. Alma; lieutenant governor, William H Green, Creighton; secretary of state, Carl T. Boucher, Wahoo; treasurer Frank c. Babcock, Hastings; attorney general. l.. l. Abbott, of Omaha.

 The result of Thursday mornings work on the part of the conference committees is fusion on the entire ticket. When Berge was defeated for governor the populists, with whom he had formerly affiliated and who claim cd him when he ran for governor two years ago, were indignant and it looked as though the two eonyen- tions would be unable to get together Thursday morning, however. the pop ulists were willing to take the remain ing portion of the ticket and to en- dorse Shallenberger, the gubcrnatorial candidate who had defeated Beree.
 W. H. Thompson, of Grand Island. who was the fusion nominee for gov ernor four years ago, was endorsed for the United States senate, and the democrats and popnlists elected to the legislature this fall are instructed, by the state convention, to vote for him
