FOR. THE REGATTA.

Editor Astorlan:
Concerning the approaching regatta
In your waters cannot something be
done to stimulate a race among the
many gasoline boats owned In your
vicinity? It Is understood that Brig
adler General Harrington, of tht Hilar
Rock Canning Co. has a boat that he
thinks will carry tht broom In a speed
contest although It . was built not for
speed, but for freighting purposes. The
brigadier general also offers to handi
cap hla craft In extra weight, by being
aboard himself If the race is made.
By all meana let the committee get
the numerous fellows who think "theirs
the best" out In a friendly speed
contest at the regatta, aa It will add
much to the Interest of the occasion,

Ellensburg, August 14. A fusion of
PopulUts, Democrats and the fret sil
ver men who left the Republican party
has been effected In the state of Wash
Ington. and the name of the new party
will be the "People's Party." It. was
brought about tonight when tht Popu
list convention decided to allow tht
Democrats to nomlnatt one congress
man In addition to the other officers
allotted to them. When the conference
committee of the three conventions
adjourned this morning the only bar
rier to fusion waa the one congressman
which the Democrats demanded. The
free silver Republicans and Populists
were satisfied with the division of offi
ce decided upon, but the Democrats
held out for one of the congressmen.
The Populists wer obdurate, and all
day long stood firm In their determina
tion to keep the congretamerf.
The committee from the fret airrtr
Republlcana and Democrat were In
conference during tht entire day, and
aeveral time the situation looked crit
ical for fusion. When the Populists re
fused to relinquish the congressman.
the Democrats wanted the silver Re
publicans to give up a congressman for
statt printer. This the silver men re
futed to do. Once tht Democrat were
on tht point of throwing down the
gauntlet and proceeding to nomlnatt a
full atate ticket
When the evening session of the
Populist convention convened, the
committees from the Democrat and
free silver Republicans appeared and
made an appeal to to the Populists to
relinquish the congressman and givt
It to the Democrats. Andrews, of Se
attle, moved the convention amend tht
report by taking a congressman from
the Populists and giving it to the Dem-
ocrata. When the roll call waa finish
ed the chairman announced the mo
tion carried by a vote of 2S2s to 106i.
The wildest scene of the convention
then ensued. The delegates threw
their hat and canes into the air,
Jumped on chair and cheered for fully
Ave minutes. The convention then ad
journed until 8 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. The Populist' state convention met
this morning and read the report of
the Populist conference committee on
fusion, which had been In session with
the other convention committee all
night and was discharged.' The com!
mlttees' ultimatum regarding the offi
ces was as follows:
Atlottment to the Populists Gover
nor, lieutenant governor, secretary of
state, auditor, land commissioner, two
electors, one congressman.
Allottment to the Democrats Two
electors. Judge of the supreme court
state printer.
Allottment to the Free Silver Repub
licans Superntendent of public In
struction, attorney general, one con
gressman.
The convention adopted the report
by a vote of 360 to SI An adjourn
ment was taken until 1 o'clock.
in tne afternoon the session was
principally taken up with a discussion
of the motion to reconsider the plank
of the platform which condemns the
officers of the state or county for us
ing railroad passes. After a three
hours' debate the resolution waa mod-
tiled ao it simply expressed the regret
that any official had used a pass. The
convention endeavored to proceed to
nominations for state officers, but the
convention adjourned until 7 o'clock.
to allow the other convention time in
which to prepare another -plan of fu
sion. The Democratic convention met 'and
adjourned shortly ,fter. The actual
business consisted In discharging the
conference committee on fusion and the
adoption of a platform. The Demo
crats refused to accept the allottment
of offices presented by the Populists
and proceeded to treat with the silver
itepuDiicana Tne Democrats were
willing to agree to fusion If they were
given one congressman in addition to
the other offices allotted to them. The
entire afternoon waa spent In awaiting
the action of the committees sent to
treat with the free silver Republlcana
At 4 o'clock the committee arrived from
the silver Republicans, who asked that
a like committee be appointed and that
the two commltteei proceed to the Pop
ulist convention and again attempt
td bring about fusion. This committee
was appointed and the convention ad
journed until T p. m.
The free silver Republlcana met and
received the reports" tronv the confer
ence committee, discussed several prop
ositions for fusion, and listened to an
address from Senator Squire, who
made a strong plea for the fusion of all
the fret silver forces. An adjournment
was taken during the. day, from time
Vi time, and at 5 o'clock fusion was ap
parently as far aay aa it was yes
terday morning.
At the evening session the convention
