Meeting of Republican and Popu- list Sub-committees Held Last Night--No More Talking Through Hats, POPULISTS ASKED FOUR OFFICES. A contemporary yesterday detailed the boastful impossibility of a fusion between the Republicans and Popu- lists of McCracken county, and proved, no doubt to his own satisfac- tion, the futility of such a combina- tion. But almost papers had dried, Populists were busy at work formu- ating the plans of its accomplish. ment, and before another issve of the paper, lo! it is completed. A joint meeting of sub-committees from the Republican and Populist county committees, held a joint meet- ing last ht, and the details were fully aud finally adjusted for a fusion ticket. ‘The arrangement was today | submitted to the full committees and | approved and ratified, aud is now an accowplished fact Under the arrang lists asked four office before the ink on the Republicans an¢ ents the Popu-| on the fusion} Republicans to receive the others, including the city oflices. ‘The otticers | requested by the Populists are sheriff, jailer, county and county attorney, and it is understood that their candidates for these places will be For sheriff, William Pepper; W.

In the event a swap is made with the Marshal county Populists, the latter will be accorded the commonwealth’s attorneyship aud the Republicans take circuit judge, and Attorney L. K. Taylor be slated for commonwealth’s attorney, with Mr, Fayette Harper for county attorn This afternoon at was a large meeting of Populists in Mr. L. K. Taylor's office on legal row. It was the biggest meeting for sometime, and the action of the sub- committee was unanimously ratified by the meeting, which settles all speculation and doubt and denial of a fusion ; it’s here and it cannot be doubted.
