INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. S.-The name of
the new party is the National Demo
cratic party. Its organizers call those
supporting the Chicago platform and
ticket the Populist Democratic party.
The national convention of the National
Democratic party will be held at In
dianapolis the first week in September
There was unanimity in the confer
ence on the selection of the name of the
National Democratic party and also in
determining to distinguish the two par
ties by referring to those supporting the
Chicago platform as the Populist Demo-
cratic party.
There was a conference before the
provisional national committee met at
which it was decided to call conven-
ton and nominate another national
ticket. Some of the eastern and south.
ern members opposed a third ticket at
first, but when they were told that in
the middle states party fealty was so re-
garded that many Democrats would not
vote unless there was third ticket,
then all objections from the east and
south were withdrawn and the decision
to hold q convention was unanimous.
1t was argued that as the campaign
proceeded and the Republicans began
to say harsh things of Democrats, many
of the latter would vote for Bryan and
Sewall, distateful as the Chicago plat
form was to them.
AS the eastern and southern gold
standard men said they were for any
thing to defeat the Chicago ticket and
platform, they readily consented to the
plan that had been outlined by the exc
cutive committee consisting of Bragg OF
Wisconsin, Bynum of Indiana, Halde-
man of Kentucky, Broadhead of Mis-
souri, and Robbins of Illinois. Henry s.
Robbins of Chicago was the only absent
member of the executive committee, but
Mr.. Ewing took his place, while Sena-
tor Palmer, ex-Mayor Hopkins and
others WIRE active in having the plan
for third ticket carried out. Charles
Tracey of Albany, George Foster Pea
body of Brooklyn, John Esemmes OF
Baltimore and other eastern men did
not share in the opposition to third
ticket The strongest opposition to 9
third ticket came from Rhode Island
and Texas-the smallest and the largest
state. They were given the fullest con-
sideration because of the desire for
unanimous action which was finally Sc.
cured.
The telegram from President Cleve.
land was regarded by all as indicating
his sympathy with the movement.

Ex- Congressman Cultivate, who made
the motion for a convention to nominate
candidates for president and vice presi
dent, holds prominent appointment
under President Cleveland. General
Bragg, ex-Congressman Bynum and al
the leaders are considered strong ad
ministration men.
The largest visiting delegations, out
side of Indiana, came from Kentucky
Ohio and Illinois.
Among the Kentucky delegates were
Ex-Governor Buckner, ex-State Chair
man Charles r. Long, Senator A. j
Carroll, ex-Chief Justice Thomas H
Hines and II. w. Knott, editor of the
Louisville Post. They accompanied
Mr.. Haldeman, who is a member of the
executive committee, and r. L. Tyler
who is a member of the national com
mittee from Kentucky. They favor
Carlisle for president, and in event he
is not nominated they want Genera
Buckner for vice president.
The Illinois and Ohio delegation die
not ask for anything, but there was q
general drift for Senator Palmer fol
president The Kentucky delegation
also asked for the convention at Louis
vile, but indianapolis showed guaran
teed fund of $4,000 for all expenses an6
the guarantee in this case was made t.
body of very substantial men whC
duly appreciated the best bid. There
was objection from all to holding thu
convention in any city in which a ma
tional convention had been held this
year. The committeeman said we will

between the Indianapolis platform ant
ticket and The platforms and tickets tina
bear the brands of other cities.
