The secretary read the resolutions
adopted at the conference held in Chi
cago, July %, by ten Middle Western
states, the object of which was to ar
range for the holding of another Demo-
cratic national convention, at which an
independent gold Democratic ticket
should be named. j. j. Cultivate
moved that a committee of five should
be at once appointed, whose duty 1t
should be to select time and place
for the convention There was loud
cheering over this motion. Delegate
Martin seconded his motion, and it was
passed unanimously. The chairman
then appointed the committee as fol-
lows: James H. Cultivate, Of Ohio;
Charles Tracey, New York; J. H. Falk-
ner, Alabama; F. w. M. Cutcheon, Min
nesota; and L. G. Krauthoff, Missouri.
The states were called for the loca-
ton of the convention. Col. D. w.
Lawler presented the claims of Mime
apolis, followed by John I. Griffiths for
Indianapolis. III. M. Davies presented
the claims of louisville. The strongest
speech on the location was made by S.
o. Pickens, president of the Indiana
Gold Standard Democratic league. He
said there We're many Democrats in
this pivotal state who would neither
vote for Bryan nor Mckinley, and
since it had been determined to have
a third ticket, it would be great help
to the gold standard Democrats Of In
diana and do much to defeat the Chi
cago ticket and platform in this doubt
full state if the convention was held in
Indianapolis. This settled the location.
The ballot resulted: Indianapolis, 1e;
Minneapolis, 6; Louisville, g
The five members Of the subcommit-
tee were out preparing their report,
and three others did not vote. The In
dianapolis people then celebrated their
victory with invitations to luncheon at
the commercial club rooms, and an
nounced carriages for evening drives
about the city. A recess was then taken
until evening.
