national democratic party Its organ
izers call those supporting the Chicago
platform and ticket the populist- demo-
cratic party. The national convention
of the national democratic party wifi
be held at Indianapolis the first week
In September. There was unanimity In
the conference on the selection of the
name of the national democratic party
and also in determining to distinguish
the two parties by referring to those
supporting the Chicago platform as
the populist-democratic party. There
was no conference before the provis-
ional national committee met, at which
Il was decided to call the convention
and nominate another national ticket.
Some of the eastern and southern men,
bers opposed third ticket at first. but
when they were told In the middle
states party fealty was so regarded
that many democrats would not vote
unless there was a third ticket, then all
objections from the East and South
were withdrawn and the decision to
hold convention was unanimous

proceeded and the republicans began
to say harsh things Of the democrats.
many OF the latter would vote for Bry-
an and Sewall. dlstasteful as the Chi
cago platform was TO them, and as the
eastern and southern gold standard
men said they wer for anything to de-
feat the Chicago ticket and platform,

tor Palmer. ex-Mayor Hopkins and
others were active in having the plan
for third ticket carried out. Charles
Tracey Of Albany, George Foster Pea
body Of Brooklyn. John Essems of Bal
timore and other eastern men did not
share in the opposition to a third
ticket
The strongest opposition to a third
ticket came from Rhode Island and
Texas. They were given the fullest
consideration because Of q desire for
unanimous action. which was finally
secured. The telegram from President
Cleveland was regarded by all as indi-
eating his sympathy with the move
ment. Every mention of the PRESIDENT q
name was loudly cheered. His portrait

want Ex-Governor Buckner for vice

there was a general drift for Senator
Palmer for president. The Kentucky
delegation also asked for the conven-
tion at Louisville. but Indianapolis

for all. expenses and the guarantee In
this case was made to body Of very
substantial men who duly appreciated
