indianapolis Ind. Aug. GA canvass
made tonight OF the sentiments Of tho
thirty-fve committeeman who will be in
to-morrows sound money democratic
meeting, shows that twenty-nine Of them
will favor another convention and ticket.
The six who are opposed include Texas.
Georgia, 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 new ticket. This will be decided upon
at to-morrow's meeting, and sub-eom-
mittee will be appointed 10 draw up an
address to the sound money democrats OF
the country, giving the reasons why a
third ticket Is necessary This will be
adopted at Saturdays meeting OF the
committee, and the time and place of
holding convention will then be fixed. II
Will probably be held during the first week
IN September.
Much comment Is excited by the attitude
of the eastern leaders. While all the east
ern states except New Jersey and Della
ware will be represented at tomorrow s
meeting they will not be represented by
party leaders nor by men who have the
party organizations behind them. Neither
Mr. Cleveland nor any of the men close to
him has spoken a word OF encouragement
for the movement as yet.
Along with the Texas delegates are NJ.
L. Crawford Of Dallas and ]. H. Smith OF
Fort Worth. Down in our state" said
Mr. Smith. the gold men have allied
themselves with this or that party and the
sound money faction has been almost OBJ
liberated There has been too much delay
and do not think that action at this time
will bring out the full strength Of the
movement"
II is apparent that there will be not a
little opposition to o third ticket coming
from the southern and eastern states,
where the sound money democrats prefer
to take their medicine straight as they
express II, and vote for Mckinley"
Il, myself. think a third ticket Is a
good thing" said Mr.. Ballard of Atlanta,
DuL the most OF our people III georgia GO
not believe in 1t. They want to see Bryan
defeated and believe that the surest way
of doing II is by voting for Mckinley The
eastern people, so far as can learn, feel
very much the same way. Another point
that holds them back Is that by declaring
for a third ticket, they might lose their
hold upon the organization, and once
they should lose that they would be prac-
sound money speeches in the campaign,
but I would rather do Il in behalf of a
straight sound money democratic ticket
than for republican candidate. l want
TO be able to look any democrat in the eye
and tell him I'm as good democrat as
he Is"
our people," said Col II. G. simms of
West Virginia, 'are unanimous in their
demand for straight democratic ticket
and platform meeting their honest money
views. We want something for which we
can make n straight, aggressive fight.
While most OF the machine politicians in
our state have fallen into line, you can
go along every Line OF railroad in West
Virginia and you will hardly find a DEM
ocrat in business who Is not willing TO
vote for a sound money ticket They
cannot bring themselves to vote for Nc
Knley, but II there is not another dem
ocratic ticket in the field, most OF Them
will stay at home, while a considerable
number will be brought into line for
Bryan"
The indications point TO a large repre-
sentation Of distinguished democrats aside
from the members OF the committee. It
is known that at least 35, and possibly 80.

North Dakota are expected to send rep
resentatives. Colorado selected Louis
Enrich, but he is detained at home by
illness. The meeting of the committee
will be held at the Commercial Club be-
ginning at 2 O'Clock tomorrow afternoon
and II is not likely that the committee
will at this session, determine anything
further than the question of whether or
not to call a convention. The situation
in each state Will be carefully canvassed
before a conclusion on this subject Is
reached. While the session of the COM
mttee will not be opened to the public
not only the committeeman, but all OF
the sound money democrats who have
