A populist this morning was solicited for a forecast of the ticket to be nominated by his party, but he said that the outcome was hard to predict. A slate had been pre pared, but he understood that it would be smashed by the country delegates, and if such was true, the convention would be more or less at sea on account of the large num ber of aspirants for each office. The leaders of the movement to reorganize the democratic party say that a straight ticket will be put in the field, and that the men nomi nated will be of such calibre as to command the support of every dem ocrat in the county notwithstand ing past affiliations with the popu lists.
