Ho\v to fuse without fusing.
That was the question that agitated the
members of the democratic state contra
, 'ommlHoo last night , but with their cus
tomary politic il agility the troublesome ob-
Htnulo was successfully surmounted at.il
straddled , nnd that , too , without putting a
vote or making a scratch en paper. The deal
contemplates tbo delivery of tbo democratic
vote of Iho slate to the Weaver electoral
ticket , and nt Iho sumo time allow the domo-
cratlo ticket lo romaln In the Held , but
according lo Iho statements of the members
themselves the situation will bo oven tnoie
complicated than it was boforo.
Some pot names were called , but as the
mooting iidjotiincd without bloodshed llio
.cssloii may bo called Imimonlous from an
untomlicd standpoint.
A woid or Iwo of rotrosppcllon ns to the
stuto ot nffnirs that lad up to the meeting may
not bo out of place in this connection.
Il will bo remembered that Kuclid Martin ,
chaltnmn of the committee nnd the self-
tljlod leader of the anti-Uoyd forces , wont
lo Chicago n couple of weeks ago in his
olllciil capacity us member of the board of
malingers of the World's fair to attend iho
dedlcatoiy oxeiciscs , and from there bo went
on to Now Yonlf to Interview thu democratic
national committee and sco wnat bo
could do to Kill Governor Boyd's
pull with that body. Ho did not
moot with the most ( littering success

It was In pursuance of that call that
twenty-eight members of the committee
drifted Into the city j ester dav from various
points of the compass and gravitated toward
iho 1'axton , wheio Iho meeting was to beheld
hold , It must not bo supposed tbat there
ivus only ono thing to bo considered , for
theie were several dn.ils on foot , but a num
ber of them were gh on tholr quietus lonir
before Iho session was called to ordoi.
First and foremost was the story of fusion
with the independents on iho stiita ticket.

an > number of stormy Interviews between

I'll Uo , chair man and seciotarv of the people's
patty stuto central committee , caiiu * up from
Lincoln on the afternoon lialn to carry out
their part of the transaction , but it bad been
nipped In the bud by some of the dissenting
mcmbcis of the dcmccialic committee. It
contemplated the withdrawal of V. O.
SUicklcr and C. A. Uitorllng from the pnpu-
list tlekot. built didn't meet with the appro

1'irtlo nuivcd in the city no steered tbenr
straight to his cilice and would not let them
get out of his sight to carry out tlio sale of
Ills nol over billllant prospects in polltlds.
It was not Strlcklor's efforts that caused
tbo deal to fall through , hownvor. The
state of affairs that did up'-ct It was the fact
thai it 'nuludcd a proposition to liavo Van
WycU withdraw from the ticket with the
understanding that ho should have in pay

In iho next legislature to assist in

C.iin is < lng tlio Situation.
The meeting was called to orJar , and the
fust business ontoied UDon was the consid
eration of thn various nominees for the state
sonulo and legislature , with reference to
their nttiuuic on prohibition. Not a man
escaped , no matter what his politics or the
platform of the paiiy thit nominated him
Jt was asccit.nr.eil that of all Ibo nominees
ofill the pnties there woio thirty-eight pro
hibitionists among tlio senatorial and fortj-
scvcn among 111- nominees for the lower
house

running for oflico 'r. ' n county whore such a
sentiment is prevalent every effort will bo
mule by his consistent paitisa'is to elect
him for the same leason that they socle to
Qofciit some ono else.
The chairman stated tbat any * number of
letters had been iccolvpd from all parts of
the s'.ito , asking for Information as lo what
course thu state committee recommended
with reference to the electoral * ticket. Ho
i.uid lhat the general tone of Ihcso letter
w ate the effect that the oest Interests of
the party would be conserved by voting the
straight party ticl.ol.
Mr. ShPhan chipped in lo say that iho
w liters weio nearly all positive that Morton
would run ahead of tno vote tocolved by
Boid two joais ago In every county outsiao
of Uouglis.
This occasioned n call for a statement ns to
the reul situation in this county , nud Mr.
Martin stated thai a poll was boiutr made of
the county nnd that there was uolhlng voiy
encouraging mil thnc tar. Ho said that the
Independents would poll a heavier vote In
Douglas county this j ear than ever befoio
nrd lhat \ an Wvck's vote heio would bo
veiy near "i.OOO , but that Van Wvck would
run ahead of his ticket. Ho was soriv to
say Hint iho independents had gamed most
of their stioncth fiom the democrats and
tliat the lopubllcau state ticket would go
out of this county Ibis vear with u plurality
of sevoial thousand. Ho thought that the
democrats hero would vote very generally
lor Weaver.
Wouldn't Vote for \ Vrar. .
'ilils biought Han Cook of Beatrice to bis
feet to remark that tbo talk of voting Hie
democrats of Gage counlv for Weaver was
all rot , as tt , could not be done , no matter
what action the stale committee might take.
Ho wns certain thallf the sentiment among
the democrats all over the stale was iho same
as It was In bib countv Weaver couldn't got
ir coipornl's gtmidoutsldo his own patty.
Bullalo county'b roprcsoutattvo ex pressed
the belinf that In his county 70 per cant of
Iho doiiiocralio vote would go lo Weaver ,
Mr. Martin wanted Iho Hour himself , so ho
called iho Buflalo man down nnd proceeded
to state thai the-independents had not mndo
any sslii In Mrcnglh since two \cars aero ,
while , on tlio other hand , thev hud lost In
soveitil localities , 'Ibo republicans had
made hnuvy gains , according to reports re
, ceived at democratic headquarters from reli
able men in all parts of the state , and ho was
certain tbil it would require iilmoit every
democratic vo'o , In addition to those lhat
would bu casi by the Independents , to carry
Iho stale tor tbo Weaver electors. Ho bald
lhat some of the democrats would vote for the
Woav or electoral ticket In spltoof all the
btato committee could dothould it decide not
to throw the inutv vote to tbo populist can
didate , but bu felt that the committee should
bo sum tbat it wits right before It went
nhonil. llo said Unit homo of the democrats
out through.thostato could not understand
tliu proposed rno\eand thousht that some
thing wns wrong. Ho didn't know but it
would tend to such nurd work for tno
Weaver tiokoi thai iho regular democraitc
nominees for htato ofllce and congress would
bo Init In the bliulHe.
A incmbcr arose locnso bis ( onsclonco by
declaring that ihu Ausiruliin ballot law had
cost the democratic party in iho Mute lu.OUU
votes , apd to this statement no opposition
was offered , It was fuither stated that iho
domociats In Iho citlon would vote the

understand it.

Owing to the dPiith of Mrs. Harrison It was

by the band , Hon. C. C. Adann in n few
well timed remarks introduced the senator ,
who wns received wllh gi eat applause.
The senator said he wa- not hoio for the
purpose of advocating his return to the
United States senate , but that ho placed his
public record before the psoitlo for the passage -
ago of their unbiased Judgement. Ho con
gratulated the people of the country on the
evidences of prosperity which are so visible
to the stranger. Hosild that ho deprecated
the howl of calamity which has been spicad
abroad concerning tbo stale nud Ibnl such
reports had seriously diverted the tula of
immigration and caultal from the slalo. Ho
declared lhat a great percentage of the mort
gage Indebtedness of iho state at the present
lima Is occasioned by improvements of homes

As to savings banks In his estimation this

sary , make all requisite changoj to suit con
dition of Iho times.
Ho then look up iho "force" bill and said
there was a force bill vuirs ago inspired bv
Andrew Jackson , who nolillod ths people of
South Carolina thit if they persisted In their
nullification proceedings he would hang
every ono of thorn , and still the democrats
talk of the iniquitous "forco" bill , which
was first Inaugurated by a democratic presi
dent.

Ho cited Mrs. t Base's rjcont i.tlerancos
as to the great necessity of such a bill in the

passed a high eulogy on President Harri

In a most feeling manner of the

administration of Judge Groff , Nebraska's

of llnaneo ho quoted statistics showing that ,
at most , the cntno bond indebtedness is now
held by the people of Iho United
States. Ho paid his respects to
Mr. McICclghan and his concross'oinl '
record and said that iho trouble with him
was thai in Washington ho occupied solar
space and tbat he soared un in the clouds
with his visionary ideas ; lhat the best in
