THE LOVj.WIXDKI) ORATORS Kill Tissc While the Commit teei Cet Read to Report Silver Rcpsblicsss Do Notbisq X I'Utlorsi That kill Csre all tills. Elletuhurg, August 12. All eyes were turned toward the Populist convention today, as the Democrats and Free Sil ver Republicans had shown by their deliberations that they were In favor of fusion. The expressions tonight In dicate that there will be a fusion. The majority of the Populists want fusion If they can have the governorship, but If they cannot get this there Is a strong probability of a straight Pop ulist ticket being put In the field. James Hamilton Lewi 1 clearly in the lead for the Democratic nomination If the question of fusion Is out of the way, but the Populists will not consent to Lewis as the head of the ticket- The Lewis men are In favor of proceeding; with the nominations without mating the action of the conference committees but the majority fear this would re move all possibility of fusion. The Pop ulists have at least four candidates for governor, but no man Is able to measure his strength until the confer ence committee acts. H. N. Belt la backed by Bpokane for governor; J. H. Todd has the support of King cnuntr and a few small delegations west of the mountains. The plan of division on the national ticket. If fusion carries. Is to give the Populists two presidential electors, the Democrats one and the free silver Republicans one. The con ference committees will meet tomorrow morning. Ellcnsburg. August 12. The Demo cratic, Populist and Free Silver con ventions met here today. All perfected temporary organization. A committee was appointed by each convention for the purpose of conferring and endeav oring to agree on a fusion ticket. The Democratic convention perfected permanent organization this afternoon by electing Stephen Judson, of Tierce county, as permanent chairman. W. H. White, of Seattle, was chosen na tional committeeman. In place of Hush Wallace, resigned. H. T. Jones, of Spokane, was elected chairman of the state central committee. When the Populist convention met this afternoon, the committee not being ready to report, an hour and a half w as spent In listening to oratory which was put In In large quantities. Pat rick Henry Winston, of Spokane, was invited to the platform, and In a speech of nearly an hour In length, he stated that he had at last found the party which suited him precisely, and that party was the Populist party. After a recess of an hour the report of the credentials committee was re ceived and adopted. The temporary organization was made permanent. An attempt was made to take up the reso lution from the Democratic convention regarding the conference committee. but after a wrangle, during which mo tions were made by the dozen, the convention left the resolution on the table and adjourned till 8 p. m. When the convention reassembled, after a long and tedious debate, the motion prevailed to appoint one mem ber from each county to confer with the Democrats and Free Sllverltes. The committee appointed by the convention constitutes the conference committee to determine the terms of fusion, while the committees appointed by the Demo crats and Silver Republicans are only empowered to formulate a plan for a conference committee. The platform was then read and the convention ad journed till la.ni. tomorrow. The Democrats met in the evening, but owing to the fact that the Popu lists did not appoint a conference com mittee until late at night, the conven tlon adjourned until 9:30 tomorrow morning. The silver Republicans transacted no business at the evening session and adjournment was taken till tomorrow- morning. The Democrats and free silver con ventions appointed committees consist Ing of seven lawyers each, to render an opinion as to the legality of fusion. The Populists are expected to appoint a like committee. The Populist platform, which will be taken up for adoption tomorrow, re affirms the principles enunciated at Omaha and St. Louis. It demands that the people shall be given a direct vote on all Important legislation and that all officers elected shall be the servants of the people, subject at any time to recall or dismissal, and not as at pres ent, the masters of those who created them. It demands the enactment Into law of the following propositions: Ma terial reduction of salaries of all off! cers, lessen freight, passenger, telephone and telegraphic rates within the state, the adoption' of the Torrens system of registering land titles, a general sys tem ot non-lnterest-bearlng warrants receivable for taxe throughout the state; school books to be furnished at the expense of the state; that In case of sale of ale of property under fore rlosure decrees the debtor shall retain possession of the property throughout the redemption period, and the prohibi tion of deficiency Judgments, a liberal exemption from taxation of personal property and the Improvement In or upon land; that the next legislature shall take the necessary legal steps to subrr.it to fie electors of this state, to be voted upon at the next regular election, an amendment to the slate constitution conferring the elective franchise upon women; that the legis lature psss a law In conformity with our state constitution making It a fel ony for any county, city, or state offi cer to accept for use a railroad or oth er transportation pass, and that the law shall also be applicable to those who offer such passes. DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE. New York, August 12. The Demo cratic national committee was In ses sion about three-quarters of an hour today. The whole time was devoted to a heated controversy over the dis pensation of tickets to the meeting to night. The question of the disputed plank in the platform was discussed. The committee gave an official decision to the amendment offered by Senator Hill excepting existing contracts from the scope of the financial plank not being adopted. Congressman James D. Richardson, of Tennessee, who was acting chairman when the platform was adopted, stated to his personal recollection the Hill amendment was defeated. His testimony "was reinforc ed by Senator Jones. The committee ordered the publication of the platform under the direct superlvlslon of Perma nent Chairman White. C. E. Walsh, of Ottumwa, Iowa, was chosen. perma nenet secretary, and an adjournment was taken subject to the call of tb: chairman. POLICE COURT. Judge Nelson's court was full of bus iness yesterday afternoon. J. Carlson forfeited $5 bail for being drunk and Andrew Swlnton. on the same charge, was fined IS. Herman Johnson was also fined $5 for being drunk. Jim Gunn and R. Miller were fined 110 each for having engaged In a fistic' combat. John Mitchell and James Flu pa trick each forfeited 13 for being drunk. S. Vurskilla, who was drunk and gave the officer some trouble when arrested, was fined $10. Emma Burt and Rose Tucker appear ed to the charge of fighting. Both are singers In the Casino Theatre, where the combat took place. The Burt woman Is one of the new arrivals, and It Is said that. jealousy on the part of others caused the difficulty. The evi dence showed that hat pins and other Implements were used in the warfare with considerable effect There were a large number of witnesses sworn, among them the husband ot Emma Burt, who claimed that had they known what kind of a place they were coming to they would not have made an engagement, as 'they are first-class people only. It was suggested yesterday afternoon that In view of the: large number of arrests being made for drunkenness, the city might to good advantage em ploy a street sprinkler which could be used at night for a patrol wagon, thus giving the unfortunates an opportunity to sober up under the Influence of a cold bath on the way to the station house. THE HAZARDS OF INFANT LIFE. The constant care which the overf-ind mother gives her Infant, ever handling and holding it, picking it up In her arms as soon as It awakens, constantly talking and singing to it. is calculated to excite the child and keep it in a continual state of nervous strain. The blessed quiet which brain-weary, nerve exhausted grown people long for Is baby's right, and the wise mother will never allow anything to rob her child of this health-giving privilege. Don't fuss nor play roughly with a baby. Babies should be handled and moved about as little as possible. The com mon practice of keeping them constant ly In motion when awake Is fruitful of trouble In many ways, and especially Is the evening romp, w hen baby In high glee Is tossed to the celling by Its fond papa, an Iniquitous practice. It Is small wonder If the little mite demand another romp at the inconvenient hour of midnight, and Its parents have only their own Indiscretion to blame for this Inconvenient wakefulness.

Gov't Report vW ABSOLUTELY PUKE BRYAN RECEIVES NOTIFICATION Madison Niiarc Garden Ka filled Kith a Vast Throng of People. SAYS AT SOME FUTURE DAY Be kill Tosch us the Ii9e Treststed hy tht ritfom Sake Xo apology lor the It-cos Tax la. New York, August 12. At Madison Square Garden tonight. In the presence) of a vast concourse of people, William Jennings Bryan and Arthur Sewail were officially notified that they hod been nominated for president and Tics president of the L'nlted States by the national Democratic convention at Chi cago. The notification speeches w ere made by Stone, of Missouri, In the ab sence of the Hon. S. M. White, of Cal ifornia. In responding to the notification speech of Gov. Stone Bryan said that at a future day be would, in a formal let ter of acceptance, touch upon the Is sues presented by the platform. "Cltlxena, either public or private, who assail the characters and question the patriotism of the delegates assem bled In the Chicago convention, assail the character and question the patriot Ism of millions who have arrayed them selves under the banner raised there. "It has been charged by men stand ing high In business, and In political circles, that our platform Is a menace to private security and public safety; and it has been asserted that they, whom I have the honor for the tune being to represent, not only meditate an attack upon the rights of property, but are the foes of social order and na tional honor. Those who stand upon the Chicago platform understand the genius of our institutions; they are staunch supporters of tbe form of gov ernment under which we live, and build their faith upon the foundations laid by our fathers. Our campaign has not for Its object the reconstruction of so ciety. We cannot Insure to the vicious the fruits of virtuous life; we will not invade the home of the provident in order to supply the wants of the spend thrift; we do not propose to transfer the rewards of industry to the lap of Indolence; property is and will' remain a stimulus to the endeavor and com pensation for toil. We believe as assert ed In the declaration of Independence, that all men are created equal, but that does not mean that all men are or can be equal In possession. In ability or In merit; It simply means that all shall stand equal before the law and that the government shall not. in mak ing, construing or enforcing the law, discriminate between cltlxena. I assert that property rights, as well as tbe rights of the people, are safe in tbe hands of the common people. "The Chicago platform has been con demned because it differs from an opin ion rendered by tbe supreme court de claring the income tax law unconsti tutional. Our crtics even go so far as to apply the name anarchist to those who stand- upon the planks of the platform. While the money question overshadows all questions of Import ance. I desire It to be understood that I shall offer no apology for the income tax plank of the Chicago plat form. Not only shall I refuse to apol ogixe for the advocacy of an Income tax law by the national convention, but I shall also refuse to apologize for the exercise by it of the right to dissent from the decision of the su preme court." He said that any legislation which lessens the world's stock of standard money Increases the exchangeable val ue of the dollar, therefore the crusade against silver must Inevitably raise the purchasing power of money and lower the value of all other forms of property. He then dwelt on the injury done to the farmer, wage earner, mer chants and manufacturer by the gold standard. "If the farmers and waso earners to gether constitute a considerable ma jority of the people of the country, why should their Interests be ignored in considering financial legislation? The monetary system which Is of peculary advantage to syndicates has far less to commend it than the system which would give hope and encouragement to those who create' the nation's wealth. "Our opponents have made a special appeal to hose who hold fire and life insurance policies, but these policy holders know that since the total pre miums received exceed the total losses (Continued on Second Page.)
