Washington. Aug. 26. - President
Cleveland is in full accord with the sound
money democratic convention to be held in
Indianapolis and he viii take occasion, as
soon as that body places its ticket in the
field, to give to the country a ringing in
dorsement of its action, accompanied by
a call TO every local democrat to support
the ticket.
Some Of the Presidents friends and those
who are taking an active part I'm the In
dianapolis movement urged him to come
out with his declaration to the country
before the meeting Of that convention, but
after consultation with several members
of his cabinet and a few personal friends,

him to pursue in this instance, is to await
until the Indianapolis convention has per-
formed its mission before issuing his proc
lamation to the loyal sound money dem
ocracy.
This information is brought back to
Washington by one of the official mem-
bers of his family who recently visited the
President at Gray Gables.
When the third ticket movement was
first started, many persons who are ar
dent supporters of the administration were
disposed to question the wisdom Of plac-
ing another ticket in the field. 1t was sug-
gested that a declaration of sound money
principles would be sufficient to hold the
democratic organization together, but the
more the question was discussed, the
stronger the sentiment grew in favor of
nominating a ticket. Those who have
the movement in hand assert
strength than its promoters ever dreamed
Of, and the gathering at Indianapolis will
be composed of the leading democrats of
the country
1t is understood that the situation was
considered in all its phases during the
cabinet conference, which resulted in the
acceptance Of Secretary Hoke Smiths
resignation. The President has taken
general survey of the field, and has so
licited information from other sources,
and he is convinced that the action of the
indianapolis convention will cut an i'm
portat figure in the pending contest.
The friends of the President, In looking
the field over for available material with
which to construct the ticket at Indian
apolis have centered upon Gen. Bragg of
Wisconsin, or Senator Palmer of Illinois,
and Gen. Buckner Of Kentucky for Vice
President.
1t is argued that such a ticket would
attract considerable following in the west
and the south. and give those democrats
who cannot support Bryan or Mckinley,
an opportunity to cast their votes for
democratic candidates, standing on what
they consider a sound democratic plat
form Just what methods the President
will employ in the PRONUNCIATION Of his
Endorsement of the Indianapolis ticket
will be determined In the future, but the
fact remains that after careful considera-
tion he has decided to hold his political
declaration of faith until that convention
adjourns. He will probably give out an
interview on the subject, setting forth his
views on the situation, and at the same
time he will call upon the Cleveland dem
ocrats all over the country and those
who are opposed to the election of Bryan
and Sewall to rally to the support Of the
Indianapolis ticket.
