Compromise was the keynote of the meeting of the Progressive party at their meeting held last night in the old Opera House This was brought about by the presence of the secretary of the Republican county central com mittee who was present and unex- pectedly interrupted the secession of the pow-wow and later effected a com- promise between the Republicans and Progressives, although there were no such intentions before the meeting. About fifty were present only four attending from Douglas When the meeting was called 10 or der by Chairman E. c, Hicks, nc stated the object of the gathering and then called for the nomination of l secretary and r. A. Nathan was elect ed.
 Up to this time everything went along smoothly, but then unexpected l ly, George F. Crysler, secretary of the ! Republican central committee. asked for permission to make a few re- marks
 He stated that he was a representa- tive of the Republican party and de- sired to form am alliance with the Pro- ! gressives and that he was willing to ! concede to the Progressives any rea- sonable concessions to bring the two parties together to nominate a county ! ticket He explained that the Repub- licans desired a fusion ticket and were willing to concede to the progressives the majority of the candidates for l county offices This was not well rec ! ceived at the time and a lengthy dis l cussion followed, which led Crysier 70 ask permission for a fifteen minute l leave of absence to confer with the other officials of his party. It was granted.
 During the intermission various | phases of the situation were discussed. l The concensus of opinion appeared to be against any amalgamation with the | Republicans J. Wilson Ross. an ar- ! dent supporter of the Bull Moose tick ct and former candidate for SupervJr ! Judge, was called upon for his opru- | ions and he made a rousing speech in favor of the party.
 | James J. Logic, editor of the Doug | las Dispatch, followed Mir Ross and explained the attitude of the Douglas | Progressives. He stated that they were all in favor of a ~lu ticket but was afraid the party did not possess sufficient number of suitable candi- dates for all the offices and therefore favored a compromise with the Re. | publicans
 At this time Crysler appeared and the meeting was called to order to hear the results of his conference 1 with the other leaders of his party. He stated that the Republicans were willing to give the Progressives the majority of the offices providing thai the candidates were men of inteeritv and ability and that the Progressives would support the candidates unnlncn- ingly. Tn return he assured that the . Republicans would support the Pro. ! gressive candidates
 Upon motion it was then decided that the offices be- divided between the Progressives and Republicans ana that they be non-conhicting. In other words offices for which the Progre-. siyes had candidates the Republicans
 would not nominate candidates and vice versa.
