had been outlined by the executive com
mittee, consisting of Bragg of Wisconsin,
Bynum of Indiana, Haldeman of Ken
lucky, B%roadhead of Missouri and Rob
bins Of Illinois. Henry 5. 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
having the plan for "A third ticket carried
out.
Charles Tracey of Albany, w, George
Foster Peabody Of Brooklyn, John +.
Semmes of Baltimore, and other eastern
men did not share in the opposition to a
third ticket. The strongest opposition to
q third ticket came from Rhode Island and
Texas-the smallest and largest state.
They were given the fullest consideration
because of the desire for unanimous ac-
ton, which was finally secured.
The telegram from President Cleveland
was regarded by all as indicating his sym
pathy with the movement. Every mention
Of the presidents name was loudly cheered.
His portrait was the center piece in the as
