sions. Tho candidacy of Charles A. Towne

tho populists and It was tho general con
census of opinion thai ho should remain
on tho ticket. The middle-of-the-road
movement also camo In for Its sharo of at
tention. Tho conferees wero not at nil
enthusiastic over tho outlook for fusion.
At tho afternoon mcotlng of tho democrats,
which was held behind closed doors, re

rious congressional districts were submit
ted. The populists met nt the Lincoln hotel

Ilorr to liaise Money,
Tonight the mcotlng of tho thrco parties

mained in secret session until midnight.
At the conclusion, Congressman Stark an
nounced that all Important business had
been deferred until tomorrow morning.
Hy important business Is meant the -adoption
of a plan for raising campaign funds,
Several propositions for raising money wero
presented nt tonight's conference. The
plan of assessing nil officials under the pop
ocratlc administration did not meet with
popular favor nmong thoso who wero called
upon for largo contributions last year be
cause they held office. As a substitute It
was suggested that a rail bo Issued for
popular voluntary subscriptions. Another
proposition was to assess each county ccn
trnl committee according to tho county rep
rescntatlon in tho stnto convention. None
of tho plans met wit'h unanimous approval
in tho joint conference nnd by common
consent It was decided to postpone action
until the adjourned meeting tomorrow.
Stato officials nnd employes were as
hchbciI Inst year for amounts ranging from
$10 to S00 and this year they protest
against nn assessment on the snmo basis.
Nearly nil of the employes at the capital
expect to lose their positions at the end of

tint to contrlbuto to tho campaign fund.
Charles A. Towne, who stopped hero on
his way home from Nevada, left tonight
without making any announcement con
corning, his candidacy.

He has selected a campaign committee of
his own, entirely scparato from tho reg

on his own lines. This Is taken to mean
thnt he will furnish his own funds and In
that cane the gencrnl committee can look
for very llttlo from thnt Bourco to help

Ono of the tenets of populism, as out
lined In their platforms nnd press, Is that
thero shall be no bosslsm In the party.
When Pettlgrew was a republican tho most
bitter charge tho popullstn had standing
against him and the one on which they
asked republican votern to come over to
them, was that he was "a supreme boss."
Tho present campaign shes that ho has
not changed any In that particular by be
