THE COMMITTEE CENTRALIZED

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 1.-The execu- tive committee of the national demo- cratic party, at o'clock this morning, decided not to issue an address at the present time, but gave out the statement that the national organization will be preserved in all the states, that national headquarters will be in New York, and that no alliance will be made with the re- publican party. Meantime, all honorable efforts will be made to reunite the two wings of the democratic party.
 The executive committee met again this morning for short time. The session of last night lasted until after o'clock this morning. At the morning meeting sub- committee, consisting of Peabody, Bull lit and Haldeman, was appointed to take the place of the executive commit tee in the discussion of matters pertain ing to the movement in case Chairman Bynum asks for counsel. The executive committee are widely scattered and 1t was therefore deemed advisable to have a more compact committee during the four years to come when no campaigns of national nature are on hand.
 At noon the committee adjourned sine die. .at. ,..ts
 Following is the text of the statement mentioned above: The national democ- racy will permanently maintain it's or ganization in full vigor in the states in which the party machinery already exists and will endeavor to perfect organization in those states in which, it does not now exist It will at once open and maintain permanent national headquarters in the city of New York. These headquarters will be in charge of the chairman of the national committee, who will give his immediate supervision and so much of his 11s f<.. Ixn rr,rlE undertaken by the committee. That work vii comprise not only the perfect ing and extending of the political organi- zation, but the disseminating of informa- ton and the forming of opinion on poiti- cal questions by means of literature to be prepared and circulated under the di- rection of the committee and of addresses to be delivered by prominent speakers under it's auspices.
 It will be the endeavor of the commit tee not only to confirm those democrats who are already in sympat thy with the national democratic movement in their adherence to the principles of the In- dianapolis platform, but to secure the adoption of those principles by all others reconcilable theories of the functions of that it is possible for 1t to reach.
 It is the unanimous opinion of the members of the committee that any all liance between the democrats who have been opposed to the Chicago platform and the republicans is. entirely impracti- cable. These two elements represent radically conflicting and seemingly ir- reconceivable theories of the functions of government.
 All national democrats, however, earn estly hope for a reunion of the two wings of the old democratic party upon sound and patriotic platform of principles, such as time and again they stood upon to- gether in the past. 51
 The national democracy, however, is irrevocably committed to the govern mental policy that accords equal rights to all, special privileges to none-the traditional individualistic policy of the democracy. This policy, of which the Indianapolis platform is the current ex- pression, the national democracy, what ever the course of political events may be, will defend and promote.
 In this, it's mission, it will welcome the cooperation of all those who are actuat- ed by an unselfish desire to promote the welfare of our country and who believe that all schemes of paternalism or class favoritism, no matter from whom they may emanate, are fraught with peril to the prosperity of our people and to the perpetuity of our government
 Chairman Bynum stated this morning that he will go to New York next week to find suitable quarters for the head quarters of the national committee. He will then return to Indianapolis and will remove his family to New York, with the intention of making that city his permanent home. He will follow the practice of law in conjunction with his work as national chairman.
 Statements were made in a morning paper that the invitation to Henry Wat terson to attend Thursday evenings ban quet was given by MT. Holman, of Maine without the knowledge of Chairman By mum, and that the latter was angry about it. MT Holman today positively denied that he had anything whatever to do with the invitation, as that matter rested in the hands of Messrs. Bynum and Fren- gel.
 w. B. Haldeman, member of the sub committee consisting of Messrs. Pea body, Given and Haldeman, had the fol- lowing to say: '"The publication as to the action of either the subcommittee in maintenance of national headquarters or of the full committee is an absolute mis- statement of the facts. There was no controversy as to who should be the chairman of the executive committee; the only difficulty in the way of the sub committee was to secure the consent of MT. Bynum to continue to act as chair man. MT. Bynum stated to the sub-com- mittee that it was his intention to at once locate in the city of New York to practice his profession, and after con- siderfng a number of cities for headquar- ters New York was decided upon. The invitation to Mir Watterson was extended by MT Bynum in the name of the com- mittee. The executive committee rec ognizes the unself1sh and great service rendered in the recent campaign by MT. Bynum, and he has the hearty good will of every member of the committed"
