! INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. THE
name of the new party is the National
! Democratic party. It's organizers call
those supporting the Chicago platform
and ticket the Populist- Democratic par
| ty. The national convention of the Ma
| tional Democratic party will be held at
| indianapolis the first week in Septem
| ber. There was unanimity in the con-
| ference on the selection of the name of
| the National Democratic party, and also
| in determining to distinguish the two
parties by referring to those supporting
the Chicago platform as the Populist-
Democratic party.
! The provisional national committee
| decided to call a convention and nom
mate another national ticket. Some of
! the eastern and southern members op-
posed a third ticket at first. but when
they were told that in the middle states
party feeling was so regarded that many
| Democrats would not vote unless there
was a third ticket. then all objections
| from the east and south were with
drawn and the decision to hold a con-
| NcltlOll was IL was iNS OIL u
ed that as the campaign proceeded and
the Republicans began to say harsh
things of Democrats, many of the latter
would vote for Bryan and SeWall, dis
tasteful as the Chicago platform was to
| them. AS the eastern and southern
gold standard men said they were for
! anything to defeat the Chicago ticket
| and platform, they readily consented to
| the plan that has been outlined by the
| executive 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 alb
sent member of the executive commit
tee, but Mr.. Ewing took his place, while
Senator Palmer, eX-Mayor Hopkins and
others were active in having the plan for
a third ticket carried out. Charles Ira
cey of Albany, George Foster Peabody
of Brooklyn, John E. Essems of Balti-
more, and other eastern men did not
share in the opinion for a third ticket.
The strongest opposition to third tick
ct came from Rhode Island and Texas,
| the smallest and the largest. They were
given the fullest consideration because
| OI the ueSlTc IOT uldfilIuOuS dCtlOlly W III
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.
Congressman Cultivate, who made
| the motion for a convention to nomin-
ate candidates for president and vice
president holds a prominent appoint
ment under President Cleveland. Gen.
| Bragg, ex-Congressman Byunm and. all
the leaders are considered strong ad-
ministration men.
The largest visiting delegations out
side of Indiana came from Kentucky.
Ohio and Illinois. The Kentucky dele
gates favor Carlisle for president, and
in the event he is not nominated, they
want ex -GoXernor Buckner for vice pres
ident The Kentucky delegation also
asked for the convention at Louisville,
but indianapolis showed guarantee
fund of $4,000 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 con-
vention in any city in which national
convention has been held this year.
The provisional national committee of
the gold standard Democrats met at the
Commercial club at 3 p. m. Mr.. Bynum
called the meeting to order He announ-
ced that General Bragg and Senator
Palmer were delayed by washouts The
meeting was open to visiting Democrats
as we'll is to members of the committee
and the assembly room was packed
