the Palmer House, and will be opened
an Indianapolis tomorrow for the con-
ference Of the Provisional National
committee which is to decide the ques-
tion of calling a convention to adopt q
new platform and nominate a Presi-
Dental ticket.
The declaration of Bourke Cochran
against another ticket and the silence
or President Cleveland and his Cabinet
nave tended to create a divided senti-
ment as to the advisability of making
another nomination, and the opinion Of
local leaders of the movement Is that
there Is no certainty of the representa-
tlves Of thirty-six or more States who
VIII be at Indianapolis joining unani-
mously In call for National Conven-
ton which will preclude a nomination
FOR President and Vice-President

the State Executive Committee; ex-
Congressman Forman, ex-Mayor Hop

Henry S. Robbins, the Illinois mem
Der Of the National Executive Commit
tee, who has been in Chicago since the
Auditorium conference, was compelled
on account of overwork to abandon his
intention of going to Indianapolis. He
said: THE movement for the nomina-
tion of third ticket has developed far
beyond the expectation of the commit
tee It is now certain that convention
will be held about September 1st, which
Will be national in character, and which

WANTS THE CONVENTION.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 5.-The joint
committee of the Commercial Club and
Board Of Trade appointed for the pur-
pose of assisting to entertain the Pro-
visional National Committee of Sound
Money Democracy, and to endeavor to
persuade its separate convention in this
city, met this afternoon to complete the
details of the arrangements. It was
shown that about 300 distinguished
Democrats will be in the city on Fri
day to be present at the committee
meeting. The joint committee will
have ready for presentation detailed in
formation showing the capacity of the
city in taking care of crowds, and guar
anteeing ample funds to cover the ex-
penses of the members
The members Of the Sound Money
Executive Committee are expected to
arrive Tomorrow, and a meeting will
be held tomorrow night to look over
the correspondence and make up the
credentials of the members Of the Ma
lional Committee and for a certainty
decide whether it will call a National
Convention.
Mr.. Bynum, who has been mentioned
Tor the Presidency, laughs at the sug-
gestion, and says that his name is not
TO be considered. The men most talked
of are General Palmer of Illinois. Mr..
Carlisle and Mr.. Wilson, Postmaster
General. In case Palmer or some other
Northern man is nominated there is
little doubt that General Buckner of
Kentucky will be named for Vice-Presi-
dent. His record as a Democrat is strong
and clear, and there is the best of rea-
son to believe that his name on the
ticket would save Kentucky to the hon
est money Democrats
