INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. THE
name OF the new party is the National
Democratic 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 indianapolis the first week in Sep
tember. There was unanimity in the
conference on the selection Of the name
of the new party and also in determin-
Ing to distinguish the two parties by
referring to those supporting the Chi
cago platform as the Populist-Demo-
cratic party.
There was conference before the
provisional national committee met, at
which it was decided to call a conven-
tion and nominate another national
ticket. Some of the Eastern and
Southern members opposed a third
ticket at first, but when they were told
that in the middle states party fealty
was so regarded that many Democrats
would not vote unless there was a
third ticket, all objections from the
East and South were withdrawn and
the decision to hold convention was
unanimous. 1t was argued that as the
campaign proceeded and the Repub-
Hcans began to say harsh things of
Democrats many Of the latter would
vote for Bryan and Sewall, distasteful
as the Chicago platform 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 ex-
eoatiEe committee. consisting of Bragg,
of Wisconsin; Bynum, Of Indiana;
Haldeman. of Kentucky; Broadhead. OF
Missouri 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 Senator Palmer, ex-mayor
Hopkins and others were active in hay-
Ing the plan for a third ticket carried
out. Charles Tracey, Of Albany;
George Foster Peabody, Of Brooklyn
John E. Selmes, Of Baltimore, and
other Eastern men did not share in the
opposition to a third ticket.
The strongest opposition to a third
ticket came from Rhode Island and
Texas-from the smallest and the
largest states. They were given the
fullest consideration because Of the
desire for unanimous action which was
finally secured
The telegram from President Cleve-
land was regarded by all as indicating
his sympathy with the movement.
Every mention of the presidents name
was loudly cheered. His portrait was
the center piece in the assembly room.
Ex-Congressman Cultivate, who made
the motion for the convention to NOM
mate candidates for president and vice
president, holds prominent appoint
ment under President Cleveland Gen.
Bragg, ex-COngreSSman Bynum and all
leaders are considered strong admin
istration men,
The largest visiting delegations. out
side Of Indiana, came from Kentucky,
Ohio and Illinois. Among the Ken
lucky delegates were: Ex-Gov. Buck
ner, ex-State Chairman Charles r.
Long, Senator A. ]. Carroll, ex-Chief
Justice Thomas H. Hines, and r. w.
Knott, editor of the Louisville Post
They accompanied Mr.. Haldeman. who
is member of the national committee
from Kentucky. They favor Carlisle for
president, and, in the event he is not
nominated, they want Gen. Buckner
for vice president
The Illinois and Ohio delegation did
not ask for anything, but there was
general drift for Senator Palmer for
president. The Kentucky delegation
also asked for the convention at Louis
vile, but Indianapolis showed a guar
anteed fund of 10000 for all expenses,
and the guarantee in this case was
made to a body Of very substantial
men who duly appreciated the best bid
There was objection from all to holding
the convention in any city in which a
notional convention had been held this
year. The committeeman said: 1--WE will
go before the people on the difference
between the Indianapolis platform and
ticket, and the platforms and tickets
that bear the brands of other cities.''
In the evening, when the provisional
committee reassembled, the visitors
filled the assemly room. Senator John
M. Palmer was given an ovation when
he entered the hall. 1t was announced
at the afternoon session that Gen.
Bragg was delayed by a washout on
the Pennsylvania. At the night session
the announcement was made that he
could not get here. Gen. Charles Ira
cey stated that they had taken meas
ures to perpetuate the greatest Of all
parties, and needed the foremost of
leaders. He nominated Gen. John NJ
Palmer, of Illinois, for chairman of the
national committee. Gen. Palmer was
selected unanimously. Gen. Palmer said
he sympathized most earnestly in the
purpose of the meeting. He would work
for the preservation of the integrity
and future usefulness of the Demo-
cratic party The Chicago convention
had forgotten the honor, as well as the
principles, of the Democratic party, but
he hoped to see all brought back into
the fold, and would work to that end
John R. Wilson, of Indiana, was elected
secretary, and John P. Felenset, of In
diana, treasurer.
Hon Joseph II. Cultivate, of Ohio, as
chairman of the committee on a call
for the national convention and plan
of organization, reported the following
