NEW YORK, Sept. LA Herald spe- cial from Washington says; Some of the sound money democratic leaders here are talking of putting forward Secretary of the Navy Herbert for the vice presidency on the ticket to be nominated in Indianapolis. The sug- gesti0n, which first came from former national committeeman, has met with favor among many democrats here as we'll as amony friends of the administra- tion. Secretary Herbert being the first member of President Clevelands ca inet to repudiate the Chicago plat form and ticket has been a consistent sound money man for years. His course in congress upon the financial quest on was entirely in accord with his present attitude and his record shows that he voted at all times against propositions for free coinage of silver and attempts looking to the establishment Of fiat money.
