SOUND MONEY DEMOCRATS ISSUE A
CALL FOR NEW CONTENTION.

The Various Speakers Urge Importance
of u New Democratic Ticket.
Indianapolis, Aug. THE national
conference of the sound money demo-
Gratis met here to-day. Thirty three
state were represented and about 200
democrats from all over the country
were in attendance. Though the most
famous politicians of the party We're
absent this did not dampen the ardor
or determination of those present to
put in the field ticket and platform
that would represent what they believ-
ed to be the real tenets of the demo-
cratic party. The conference reflected
in large measure the business element.
An informal secret conference was
held at noon, the purpose of which was
to bring into line the members from
Texas, Georgia, Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania and Maine who came here with
the impression that a third ticket
would probably do more harm than
good by dividing the sound money
force.

made by General Buckner of Kentucky,
Mr.. Outhwaite of Ohio, Mr.. Wilson of
Indiana, and Mr. Ewing of Illinois in
favor of a third ticket. They declared
that in this section of the country

in political principle with the average
voter and large number of democrats
who would be inclined to vote for a
sound money democratic ticket would
swallow Bryan and the Chicago plat
form rather than vote the republican
ticket.
Before the secret conference ended all
opposition for the calling of another
convention was withdrawn and 1t was
agreed that the meetings in the after
noon and evening should be public 1t
was also agreed that General John NJ.
Palmer Of Illinois should be made per-
manent chairman of the provisional
committee.
The afternoon session began at 2:30
o'clock in the large assembly room of
the Commercial club Congressman
Bynu,n called the conference to order,
explaining that General Bragg, chair
man of the executive committee, had
been detained by a washout near Rich
mond. He announced that General
Palmer was also on the road. A roll
of the states was called and 1t was
found that thirty-three states were rep
