It has been hinted in our hearing that the Democrats desire a fusion of the Populists and Democrats in county nominations. This certainly would be a move in the wrong direction. Let every tub stand on its own bottom. Such a move would cause a loss of faith thatwould be very damaging to the cause. If we can’t elect a straight ticket don’t elect any at all. It would almost he a breach of trust to fuse. Such a course would meet with and deserve defeat.
