rea.'hlng. SUUfuotory rates for four days

The fuslonlsts of Huffa'lo county aro hav
ing moro trouble over tho selection of n
candldnto for representative than n negro

Dryhn'a pat ty hns forever been In power.
September 1 tho fuslonlsts held their county
convention nnd nominated Putnam of
Gibbon nnd J. M. Jordon of Odessa ns their
candidates for members of the lower house.
Jordan is a young man with a small ac
quaintance. Putnam Is an old wheelhorse
of tho populist party, has a largo acquaint
ance throughout tho county and Is held In
high esteeem nt homo and It was thought
that his popularity would In n measure
savo Jordan from defeat. Tuesday Mr.
Putnam notified tho fusion commltteo that
ho would not accept the nomination as their
candidate for representative and that they
wouln navo to look elsewuero for a sac
rifice. Mr. Putnam Is tired of fusing for
nothing but spoils and hereafter will travel
In tho mlddlo of tho road. Tho withdrawal
ot Putnam hns given tho fusloulsts tho
nightmare and while they aro trying to
llguro out "whero they aro at" tho posi

goes begging.
