LINCOLN , Aug. 2tSpeolal. . ) llio
warring factions In fie poporatto camp
have made a preteme of combining for the
campaign , but Iho union Is still of ths most
suspicious sort. 'JLe Kdmlsten supporters
argue openly that the former chairman of
the populist central eommlttos formed all
the plans that Irtl to the success of fusion
in the past , nnd that he Is entitled to the
leadership this fall. They say that Gaflln Is
nothing but n figure head , and that under
such direction ns ho can offer the campaign
must be a weak one. Tlicv assert that at
the present time Edmlstrn Is getting ten
letters from voters over the stuto where
Chairman Gafiln Is getting one , nnd that It
would bo a common scnso move to put the
real general In charge of the forces. There
has been no open rupture between the two
crowds for some time , but Gaflln and Jay
burroughs are not at all pleased with the
efforts that are being made : o drive them
out of the party and It la said that they
will stand upon their dignity and refuse to
bo coerced. During this season of bick
ering the populist campaign Is left to shift
for itself. In the meantime It Is reported
on good authority that Benton Marct will
after tomorrow assume control of the local
popocratlo dally , which has for the month
past been run as an Edmlstcn organ , and
that the smooth secretary of the governor
v.111 attempt to set up a dynasty of his own.
