Fusion and Fusion Prospects.
Atlanta Journal.)
If William J. Bryan musters 224 votes
in the electoral college he will be the next
president of the United States.
Everything hiuges on fusion, and the
progress of fusion up to date has been all
that the Democrats could desire.
Chairman Jones's uncomplimentary re
marks some of which he made and some
of which he did not make about the soutn -ern
Populists has not caused the stampede
from Bryan that the Republicans hoped to
see.
Fusion goes marching on.
There are certain states in the south
that are considered safely Democratic, and
now that Senator Gorman is taking a
hand it is possible that Maryland may
join that number.
The most important states to act in the
matter of fusion are Illinois and Iowa, In
Iowa the Democratic electoral ticket is
headed by ex-Governor Boies and General
Weaver an even division of honors be
tween the Democrats and populists. Illi
nois has a Republican majority over the
Democratic and Populist vote, but free
silver Republicans are pretty thick in that
state, and it is going to be one of the
fiercest battlegrounds of the campaign,
if they are carried Bryan will have votes
to spare.
HOW THE TWO STATES STAND.
The strength of the partiesin Ulinoisis as
follows: Democrats, 322,459; Pop'ulists,59,
703; Republicans, 445,886 ' Governor Alt
geld, who is working the free 'silver cause
for all it is worth, promises the state to
Bryau. There are 24 votes in Illinois.
The strength of the parties in Iowa is
Democrats, 149,433; Populists, 32,118; Re
publicans, 208,689. It must be remember
ed that despite these adverse figures from
latest elections, Boies has been Governor
of Iowa, and Altgeld is Governor of Illi
hois, and the Republicans will find it hard
work to get the 37 votes which these stated
possess.
The Democrats in the west seem dis
posed to give up nearly everything else in
their desire to get he electors, which must
have the effect like that powerful political
influence single shotting a candidate.
fusion has been accomplished in Kan
sas and it is confidently asserted that Jerry
Simpson's state will go for Bryan.
In Michigan fusion is being negotiated.
Lne conventions of Democrats and Popu
lists will be held at the same time. The
nomination of Pingree for governor by the
Republicans has considerably upset the
plans of fusionistt and many defeat the
deal.
In Minnesota the Populists have arrang
ed fusion. The Republican vote in 1894
was 7,000 more than all the rest, but fu
sionists claim the state this year.
The Missouri Populists bid for fusion,
but the Democrats have nominated a
straightout ticket, and so far paid no at
tention to the overtures. The state may
be considered reasonably safe for Bryan.
The Democratic state convention of Mis
souri has authorized a subcommittee to
confer with the Populist state committee
to ascertain if an agreement could be
reached by which but one electoral ticket
would be put in the field. The Populists
of the state have taken no step toward
fusion, but they are anxious for a confer
ence. In California fusion is uncertain. One
faction of Populists has made overtures to
the Democrats, aud the other insists that
Sewall must withdraw. Fusion would
probably give the state to Bryan. With
out it the result is considered doubtful.
In Colorado the overwhelming sentiment
for silver will probably unite all parties in
a common cause.
WORKING FOR FUSION.
Fusion in Montana will doubtless be
accomplished when the State conventions
meet. Silver sentiment is considered
strong enough to unite all factions.
Of course fusion is practically assured
in Nebraska. It has not yet been accom
plished, but committees of both Demo
c.rrts and Populists are endeavoring to ar
range terms. If a satisfactory deal is
made the State would probably be won.
Silver senjiment will probably unite all
parties in Nevada.
The North Carolina Populists have
fused with a wing of the Republicans, but
the State will probably elect Bryan elec
tors. Fusion is proposed by the Ohio Demo
crats and negotiations are in progress. Two
State places will be .offered in return for
fusion on the electoral ticket. The Pop
ulists meet August 26.
In Oregon the Populists claim enough
strength to cairy the State unaided. There
has been uo fusion yet.
Fusion has been arranged in South Da
kota and Tennessee.
Utah Populisms are endeavoring to bring
about a fusion, offering to withdraw their
electors already named. The plan pio
posed is for the electoral vote to go to
Watson if the Populists poll the most
votes. The State is claimed for free silver
in any event.
Washington Populists, Democrats, and
silver Republicans will undoubtedly fuse,
although the election law may cause diffi
culty over Sewall and Watson.
In Wisconsin the Democrats made over
tures for fusion which were rejected by
Populists. Both parties hold their State
conventions in Milwaukee September 2.
Middle-of-the-road men threaten to bolt
if a fusion deal is made.
The Wyoming Populists declared against
fusion.
Fusion has been rejected in Mississippi,
Lousiana and Texas.
