INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Aus. T-The
name OF the new party Is tho National
Democratic party. Its organizers call
those supporting the Chicago platform
andtickct the poplIst- t-Democruttc party.
The national convention OF the National
Democratic party will be held In Indian
npollS the first week In September.
There was unanlmlty In the confer
ence on the selection OF the name or the
National Democratic party and also In
determining to distinguish the two par
ties by referring to those supporting the
Chicago platform as the PopulIst- Demo-
cratic party.
There was conference before the pro-
yLalonal national committee met, at
which II was decided 10 call a convention
and nominate another national ticket.
Some OF the eastern and southern mem
bers opposed another ticket Mt first. but
when they were told that In the middle
states party fealty was 80 regarded that
many Democrats would not vote unless
there was third ticket. then lll objCc-
tons from the east and south were with
drawn and the decision TO hold con-
yentIon was unanimous.
Il was argued that ne the campaign
proceeded and the Republicans began 10
say harsh things OF the Democrats, many
az the latter would vote for Bryan and
Sew1ll, d!staa:eful as the Chicago plat
form was to them. AS the eastern and
southern gold standard men said they
were for anything that would defeat
Bryan and Sswall. they readily CONSENT
ed 10 the plan that had been outlined by
the executive committee. Consisting OF
Bragg, OF Wisconsin: Bynum, OF IndI-
ara: Hsldeman. Of Kentucky, Broad
head. OF Missouri. and Robbins, OF ILL.,
nols.
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 hav-
Ing the plan for a third ticket carried
out. Charles Tracey. Of Albany; George
Foster Peabody. OF Brooklyn; John E.
Zemmes, OF Baltimore and other eastern
men, did not share In the opposition to n
third ticket The strongest opposition
to third ticket cam. from Rhode Island
and Texas-the smallest and the largest
state, They were given the fullest con-
sideratior because OF the desire for uu-
animous action, which was finally s.-
cured.
The telegram from President Clevc-
land was regarded By all as Indicating
his sympathy for the movement. Every
mention OF the Presldonta name VIVA
loudly cheercd. His portrait was the
center-piece In the assembly room. Ex-
Congressman Outhwalte. who made the
motion for convention to nominate
candidates for President and Vice Presl-
dent. held n prominent appointment un-
der President Cleveland. General Bragg,
en-Congresaman Bynum and all the
leaders are considered strong admins
tratlor men.
Tho largest visiting delegation outside
Of Indiana. came from Kentucky, Ohio.
Indiana and Illinois.
The 1llinois and Ohio delegation did
not Rsk for anything but there was a
general drift for Senator Palmer for
President. The Kentucky delegation
also asked for the convention at Louis
vile. but indianapolis showed guaran-
teed fund Of $4,000 FOR ali expenses and
the guarantee In this case was made to
a body Of very substantial men who
duly appreciated the best bid. There
were objections from all 10 holding tho
convention In any city In which n ma
tlonal convention had been held this
year. The committeeman said: "We
will so before the people on the differ
ence between the indianapolis platform
and ticket and the platforms and tickets
that hear thn brands of Dthcr cities"
