The national committee of the National
Democratic party held a meeting yester-
day afternoon at Parlor 80 at the Grand
Hotel Immediately following the adjourn
ment of the convention. All the members
of the committee were present, as were
also the conventions nominees for Presi-
dent and Vice President. Senator Palmer
was present when the committee meeting
was called to order and General Buckner
came in short time later. The advent OF
the grizzled veteran with his corncob pipe
was the signal for hearty applause. Sena-
tor Caffery the permanent chairman of the
convention, was also in attendance and a
few other notables participated in the coun-
sells of the session.
The most important work of the-com-
mttee was the selection of n chairman and
treasurer. For the responsible position g
chairman w. d. Bynum, of this city,
selected, and John +. Frenzel of this city.
was continued in the capacity of treasurer.
No secretary was chosen. John r. Wilson,
who has acted in the capacity of secretary
up to date, indicated a wish that some
else should assume the onerous duties of
the place as he had not the time to give
1t the proper attention. 1t was therefore
ordered that the executive committee shall
have authority to select a secretary, and
the place will be filled at the first meeting
OF that committee. The executive commit
tee will be appointed by Chairman Bynum,
and the members who are to compose it
will be announced as soon Mr.. Bynum
has had time to scan the field and make his
selections.
1t was arranged that the candidates nom
mated yesterday shall be formally notified
of their selection at meeting TO be held at
Louisville the 18th of September Both
the candidates will be in Louisville on the
date appointed and the notification COM
mittee viii assemble there. Hon. John r..
Fellows has been invited to deliver the
notification address to General Buckner,
and has accepted. The address to General
Palmer will be delivered by an orator from
the South, but the selection has not yet
been made. 1t is the purpose to make
the notification ceremonies the occasion of
a big demonstration, and no effort will be
spared to give the movement impetus
the force of which will be felt all through
the campaign.
The meeting yesterday afternoon of the
committee lasted nearly two hours. The
various phases of the situation were dis
cussed and there was no division of senti-
ment or opinion on the proposition that an
aggressive and redhot campaign shall be
conducted for the advancement of the plat
form that the convention adopted and the
candidates that IL nominated Inc pOlHL
was made and applauded that it will not
be sufficient to defeat Bryan and elect Nc
Kinley, but that the free-siIver faliacies,
the Populistic heresies and the revolution
ary spirit that dominated the Chicago con-
vention shall be buried and crushed under
such a. weight of popular wrath and con-
demnation that the virus of Organism and
TiIlmanism and Altgeldsm will be per-
manently eradcated from the body polite
The assurance was given that ample means
will be forthcoming to carry on the cam
paign which will be conducted in every
state. and which will be pushed sys-
tematic lines. The work will not be linn
tied to the national ticket, but State tick
cts will be put in the field Wherever the
exigencies of the case demand, and c1adi-
dates for Congress and for seats In Tie
various State Legislatures who bear the
Bryan brand will be fought
The selection of a national headquarters
was left to the executive committee inst
