GOLD DEMOCRATS TO-DAY.
'r"S'sionhl National Committee tn
Meet In indianapolis to Decide
what Is Hest TO DO.

indianapolis. Ind. Aug. e.-The newspa-
| per correspondents, notably from the East
constitute almost all the arrivals to-day for
the meeting tomorrow OF the provisional
national committee of the gold standard
Democrats. Ex-Conpressman Bynum is
overwhelmed with mail and kilograms to-
luy indicating larger attendance to-mor-
row than he expected.
There are enough members OF the provis-
ional national committee here to Indicate
there VIII he some differences of opinion
at to-morrows meeting. The committee
men and visiting confcrecs will first decide
as 70 whether they will call a convention,
and then whether they will call II for the
nomination of candidates for president. as
well as for the adoption OF another plat
form. Some have boen industriouslv advo-
eating what Is called the Bourke Cochran
idea OF adopting an oldtime Democratic
Platform with gold standard financial
plank and indirectly indorsing Mckinley
by not naming another ticket. But there
arc many who say they are hero to devise
not indorse this plan. While this plan has
been indorscd in the hotel corridors. It may
Tee. The members of the executive COM
mttec. Bragg. OF Wisconsin: Broadhead of
Missouri ME- moIdiermaH' Of Kentucky; Rob
are opposed to 1t. and they have all the ar
rlrrements for the temporary organization
of the provisional national committee In
their hands.
The only places talked of for the con-
vention are Chicago. Detroit Louisville
having things its own way. chicago would
no doubt be the favorite but for the argu-
ment that the gold men do not want their
platform called the gold platform or the
bolters' platform. They want one called
the Chicago platform and the other the
Indianapolis platform, or after whatever
city is selected for the convention. tho
same the two Democratic platforms OF
1850 were designated by the cities OF the
two respective conventions.
There is talk OF Palmer. Carlisle and
Bragg for president. and FOR General
Buckner and Bynum, OF Indiana, for vice
president. hut all say that the men are |
secondary in this movement, which is one |
