Aside from these, Maine, Louisiana
and North Dakota are expected to send
delegates. Colorado's delegate is de-
tanned at home by illness.
The committee meets at p. m. to-
morrow. The situation in each State
as explained by it's representative, will
be carefully canvassed before a con-
clusion on this subject is reached. Then
if it is determined to call convention
the time and place will probably be left
to be determined at a session Satur-
day. While the sessions of the COM
mittee will not be made public, not only
the committeeman but all of the sound
money delegates who have come to the
city will be called in and their views
consulted. If it is decided to call a
convention, which is likely, Indianapo-
lis will make a strong plea for the as
semblage. The Board of Trade will
guarantee the convention expenses. De-
troit, Chicago, Louisville and other
cities will also bid for it.
A canvass made of the sentiments of
the thirty-five committeeman who will
be in tomorrow meeting shows that
twenty-nine of them will favor another
convention and ticket. The six who are
opposed, because they would rather
make the fight and let the voters go for
the Republican ticket, are Texas, Geor-
gia, Alabama and three Eastern States.
The northern States Of the West and
Middle West, where the fighting
ground is supposed to be. are in favor
of a new ticket. This will be decided
upon tomorrow, and subcommittee
will be appointed to draw up an ad-
dress to the sound money Democrats of
the country showing why a third ticket
