Not Likely to Hart McKinley in the State—Republica’ Conscious of the Danger. Correspondence of The Evening Star. INDIANAPOLIS, September 29, 1896. It is to be fusion at last. After a thou- sand or more protestations by both parties that they could not and would not yield, both have yielded, and now the democrats and populists will sail for a while in the same boat, each one trying to hold the rud- der. Two years ago the democrats polled 238,000 votes and the populists 29,009. Each party has a full state ticket in the field. and as the price of fusion the democrats demanded that the populists withdraw their state ticket, and in return offered them two places on the electoral ticket. The populists rejected this proposition with the most intense scora, and the wrangling began. The democrats declared they would give nothing more than the two electoral places, and the populists declared by the beard of the great prophet—Peffer—that they would accept of nothing less than Seven. The middle-of-the-road fellows de- clared that they were in the middle of the highway, and there they would march until the crack of doom; that they would never let the democrats swallow their party in that kind of style; they were fighting the battle of the people, and that the demo- crats were trying to steal their capital and to swallow their party, and they would have none of it. The Terms of Fusion. At first the democrats did not seem anx- lous to trade. They a‘fected a lofty virtue, and declared that they had votes and to spare; and while they were willing to ac- cept of populistic ballots, they would not purchase them at the sacrifice of party. But a time came when lofty virtue would not save them, when ballots were of the first importance, and they began to mel- low. The division in their own ranks was becoming so broad that they began to look around to sce if there was not something they could save out e wreck that was impending, and then they got auxlous, very anxious, for votes, no matier whence they came or the price nanded. A United States Senator was to be elect- ed, and they saw a chance to save that much, even Wd the state go ior but that chance would slip from they could get popul an offer was made of five electoral candidates in exchauge for fusion in the legisiative aistricts. more wrangling this offer has beon practi- cally accepted.

Since his defeat at Chicago Gov. Mat- thews has set his eye on the seat now 0 cupied by Mr. Vocrhees, and as the party machinery is controled by his friends he has brought about the fusion with but one aim, that of securing the legislature. On the legislative ticket the fusion has already been carried out tn about thirty of the districts, and with remarkable fore- sight close districts have been chosen for the fusion, districts where the combined votes of the democrats and populists equal threw their ge revenge the republicans att: of 1Nv3, and it was also ov. left in fore or exceed that of the republicans. Se2a- tors are to be chosen in twenty-five dis- tricts, and at the opening of the campaign the republicans contiden claimed they would succeed in fifteen of them, thus git ing them thirty-four out of the fi mem- bers. They also claimed they would be abie to elect at least sixty of the one hun- dred members of the house. They still ex- press confidence in controliing the election of a Senator, but are making no claims as to majority. It is easy to see that U.ey are rot weil pleased at the outiook.

Among the rest is a sentence from one of Thomas Jefferson's letters to Alex- ander Hamilton: “I concur with you in thinking that the rffint must stand upon both metals.” After carefully realing Mr. Price's valu- see natn, two questions arise in my mind: 1. These eminent economists favor a bi- metallic basis for the currency of the ctvil- ized world, but is there a line in all the extracts quoted to show that they would deem it proper or safe for the United States to attempt it alone? 2. Is it certain that they would insist up- on the precise ratio of “16 to 1?” Might they not, with Jefferson, consider thai the ratio should be based upon “the market price of the metals in the several countres with which we shall be connected in com- merce?” J.

Will Not Be Over Four Democrats in the Buckeye State Dele- gation. Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 29, 1896. The party leaders in Ohio are just now turning the'r attertion to the congressional election in this state. The delegation from Chto in the Fifty-fifth Congress will cer- inly continue to be strongly republican, The present system of districts was made by @ republican legislature, and 20 fixed that only a revolution in politics in favor of the democrats could give that party a majority of the delegation. At a glance over the districts it seems likely that the democrats will lose one of the two districts they now hold—the third,now represented by Mr. Sorg—and gain two others—the fifth and the seventeenth, represented respec- tively by Mr. De Witt and Mr. McClure. The democratic leaders lay some claim to the twenty-first district, and it is just pos- sible that they may carry it. It includes a part of Cleveland and Cuyahoga county, and the recent strikes there have caused great trouble among the laboring people. This cropped out in the republican primary elections last week, in which Sheriff Leek, a candidate for nominatioa to a second term, was overwhelmingly defeated he result of his calling out the militia. The district gave a republican plurality of near- ly 5,000 two vears ago, and under ordinary . would be regarded as per- safe for the republicans. Watson to Be Probably Returned.

Had he come to the state before the oppesition forces had perfected their or- ganizations the results might have been diferent. Wheeling will have plenty of political oratory this week. The sound muney dem- cerats have made extensive }) varauions for the mass mreting at the Opera House Wednesday evening to hear Bourke Cock- ran, and the free silver democrats have been outdoing themselves in preparing for the visit of W. J. Bryan on Thursday, The republicaus have a number of mectings an- nounced and what with minor political gatherings the week will be a notable one in @ campaign tnat is proving itself unu- sually active. Ex-Sevator Henry G. Davis has publish- ed an able letter in the Wheeling Register defiring his position on the silver question and advocating the election of Bryan. That nis Irfluence is potent is evident from an incidcnt that came under observation at Etkirs. A gection hand was questioned by a friend as to whether he was not afraid of having his wages cut down in purchas- ing power if Bryan was elected and bus!- ness was further demoralized. He replied: “I don't know much about finances and business, but if that man on the hill (pointing to the heme of Davis) is not afraid to vote for Bryan I am not cither.” Pcstinaster General W. L.
