No Real Fusion.
(FROM xmv AORK JOURNAL.)
Chicago, July 26.— Whatnp
pears-to he an irreconcilable
resulting from the
failure of the St. Louis conven¬
tion to nominate Sewall is not
such, and harmony will soon
he brought about.
The fact that Bryan’s name
is to be on both tickets will
bring about a fusion of electors
in each state that will draw out
the full strength of both the
democratic aud people’s party
votes. To illustrate it. Illi
noise has twenty-four electoral
votes. The democratic state
convention should name, say,
twenty electors, and the peo¬
ple’s party state convention
four electors. In many states,
under the Australian ballot sys¬
tem the same name of a can¬
didate or elector cannot go on
two or more tickets. This is
obviated by putting the names
of the twenty democratic elec¬
tors and four people’s party
electors all on the democratic
ticket. In states where the
people’s party has more votes
than the democratic party, and
there are some ten or twelve of
these, the above plan will be
reversed by putting the demo¬
cratic electors on the people’s
party ticket.
In'the case of Illinoise, as
above cited, a people’s party
man would vote his ticket
staight by putting a cross at the
head of it, but, as the place for
electors on that ticket is blank,
he would, after voting his party
ticket, go over to the democratic
ticket on the Australian ballot
and cross the names of the
twenty-four electors. •
It is also worthy of suggest¬
ion that, in view of the large
number of republican votes that
are being organized under the
national bimetallic party should
also be invited to name one or
more electors in each state that
will be recognized aud placed
upon the ticket.
If this combined movement,
now assuming form, should be
successful in November, the
result would he as follows:
If there were enough straight
democratic electors elected to
make a majority in the electoral
college, it. will mean Bryan and
Sewall. If not, theu it means
Bryan aud Watson. By thi s
plan it is not necessary for Sew¬
all to withdraw from the ticket
and it is better for him to stay
on-tlie people’s party are given
a hope of electing their candi¬
date for vice president and a
chance to hold their party or¬
ganization together. It means
the combined strength of the
organization of the two political
bodies in a common movement.
It should be remembered that
by the constitution and laws
of the United States the people
dq not elect a president and vice
president. YV hat the peop e do
is to elect electors, who meet at
the capitols of their respective
states aud cast their votes for
whomsoever they may choose
for president and vice president.
Ihe electors elect tli an. The
electors may vote for such per
sous for president and vice pres
ident as , hey may elect to so
vote vote for rot The nomination ot
candidates for . P resl(lent - 1ant and ,
vice president is a custom with
,
00 t sanction ot law, and by
mage electors are
to vote for such persons as their
national convention has declar¬
ed for.
Hence it. will bo readily un¬
derstood that adivision by nam¬
ing Sewall for vice president on
the democratic ticket and Wat¬
son for vice president on the
populist ticket does not, in its
result, by a fusion plan, divide
the vote of the people, but in
effect operates to make certain
the election of either Sewall or
Watson. It is only in a few
states, by reason of the law,
there will be a cent plication or
need of specially educating the
voters. In most of the states
the names of the same electors
can goon both tickets.

About Advertising.
Advertise the goods you sell, not
the people who sell them.
If you are for sale, advertise your
self.
Your reputation is part of your
stock in trade, and it pays to allow
advertising to assist in building up
mercantile character, nut the public
care3 more about what you have
for sale than they do about any oth¬
er condition of your business.
Don't print your name in the lar¬
gest type, and more conspicuously
than the announcement of your
goods.
Don t have your narni appear at
t ie top and bottom of the adver¬
tisement. Once is enough Better
have it at the bottom than at the
top.
The top should bo devoted to
large type announcement of the
goods you have for sa’e, or of ex.
pressioDs which will gain atten.ion.
A gieat ntauy merchants believe
iu having the firm name appear in a
sort of trade mark type, something
distinct and GiHorent from other
type used, aud tbU plan is to be re¬
commended, p ovided too much
space is not given to it.
People will find you, if you prop
erly announce something the people
want, if your name is at the bottom
iu the small, st readable type.
Don t tell too much about jour
goods; leave something for the im¬
agination.
Tell enough to command atten¬
tion, and to excite curiosity aud in¬
terest, that the reader will call at
your store to further inspect the
goods.
Advertising doesn t sell your
good-,
Advertising makes it easy for you
to sell goods.
It is the business of advertising
to bring people to the store.
It is your business, with the as¬
sistance of your sa ! esman, to con
summate the trade.
The more people visiting your
store the more goods you will sell.
The more advertising you do the
more people you will have to trade
with.
The best salesman can't sell any
thing unless he has some ono to to.l
to.
The best advertising is worthless
anl»s there is some one to show the
Jn tho combinatioil o{ good ad _
