M. Malek, Milwaukee; attorney general, H. H. Grace, West Superior; insurance commissioner, John F. Schindler, Milwaukee; railroad commissioner, C. G. Wilcox, Depere; state superintendent of schools, W. M. Schultz, Sauk. Immediately after the acción of the Democrats, who refused to carrv out the plan of fusión, the Populists niet at their convention hall, denounced the Democratie leaders as breakers of faith, and nominated an entire state ticket cf their own.
