Quite an animated meeting was
held Wednesday evening by the
leaders of the local democratic and
populist parties, and some very hot
words exchanged before the gath
ering dismissed. The object ot the
meeting was to arrange, if possible,
for an amalgamation of the two
tickets now in the field. It was in
tended that the session should beof
a secret nature,- the conferees to be
leading populists and those demo
crats who are in favor of fusion.
The straight democrats got wind
of the meeting and gathered a suffi
cient number of their followers to
"pack" the gathering and succeeded
in thwarting the intentions of the
fusionists and nothing was accom
plished by the latter. Both Mr.
Streitz and Mr. McNeel, the demo
cratic candidates for treasurer and
clerk respectively, announce that
they will not get off the ticket
neither will they allow themselves
to be kicked off. The f rautic efforts
of the populists and the fusion dem
ocrats to secure an amalgamation
ot the two tickets can be taken as
evidence that they are very much
afraid of republican success in the
cpming- election. They have g6od
groauds for fear.
