CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 24.-The gold
standard Democrats will hold a ma
tional convention not later than Sept.
2. Where this convention will be held,
and how the delegates will be selected
remains to be decided. The national
committee, in whose hands will be left
the selection Of the place of holding
the convention, will meet in Indianap-
oils Aug. 7. The question of the repre-
sentation of states will be decided by
an executive committee of five, which
will be selected from the national COM
mittee which settled on those matters
today, and the states represented were:
Indiana, John R. Wilson; Iowa, Henry
Vollmer; Ohio, S. III. Holding; Michi-
gan, w. r. Shelby; Kentucky, D. M
Davies; Missouri l.. G. Krauthoff; Wis
consin, w. F. Villas and E. S. Bragg;
Illinois, Henry S. Robbins; Nebraska,
Fred w. Vaughan.
The hour set for the meeting Of the
committee was 10 o'clock, but all the
members were present an hour earlier,
and it was decided to proceed at once
with the business in hand. Gen. Bragg
was elected chairman, and the COM
mittee locked the doors against the
press and public, and discussed the sit
uation for three hours.
That a radical difference Of opinion
exists as to the methods to be adopted
in the furtherance of the common in
terest was shown by the fact that ma
jority and minority reports were
evolved from the deliberations. The
majority report which was adopted by
the larger conference at it's adjourned
session, provides for the holding of
national convention of sound money
Democrats not later than Sept. 2, and
reads in full as follows:
Resolyed-First-Tha it is the sense OF
this conference, composed of Democrats from
the state of Illinois, Ohio Indiana, Wiscon-
sin. Kentucky, Missouri Michigan, Texas
Iowa Minnesota and Nebraska that a thor
oughly sound and patriotic declaration OF
Democratic principles De eDuHClHteu anu thai
candidates for president and vice president
In accord Herewith be nominated.
Second-That the Democrats in the several
states who are in sympathy with this rec
ommendation and unalterably opposed to
the declarations and independencies Of the
platform be requested to arrange meeting
of national Democratic committee.
Third-That the national committee thus Sc
lected meet at the city of Indianapolis on Fri
day, the 7th day of August, at o'clock p. M.
1896 for the purpose Of issuing formal call
for npnn
later than the I'd day of September, 1896, at
such place and to be constituted and con-
vened in such manner as should be deter
mined.
Fourth-That an executive committee of
five be appointed by the chairman OF this
conference of which he will be one, with
authority and directions to name a suitable
person in each state where necessary, to take
appropriate steps to cause state meetings to
be held with all convenient speed for the
purpose of selecting members OF such COM
mittee or IL no committeeman be selected
in any state in time for said committee meet
ing to designate a member to represent such
state temporarily.
There is a vigorous rivalry between
cities, no less than four being con-
testants for the honor of entertaining
the gold standard Democrats. Indian
apolis telegraphed an offer to provide
all necessary funds. The friends of
Don M. Dickinson are working for De-
troit; Minneapolis has asked for it, and
SECONDED BY ST. PAUL.
And Chicago Is claimant.
Eleven states were represented in the
Auditorium meeting today. Texas was
the last to appear and the representa-
tive Of the Lone Star state was heart
ily cheered when he took his place.
While the states represented at todays
meeting and last nights conference
were almost without exception middle
Western states, the news received to-
day indicates, those in charge of the
work declare, that they will have good
support in all parts OF the country
The arrival of Comptroller Eckles,
fresh from Washington, has done con-
siderable to strengthen gold standard
local men, The Whitney interview
from New York, acted as a dampener to
some extent, but Eckles soon dried it
out to some extent, as the meeting be-
Heved that he was close TO the feeling
of the administration, despite his dec
laration that politics had nothing to do
with his present trip West.
II am just on my way to Ottawa"
said the comptroller of the currency.
There Is no politics in my visit at all.
No, I am not the bearer Of q message
from President Cleveland. So far as
choice for presidential and vice presi-
Dental candidates goes, / don't think
he has made any expression. / know
of no one who is likely to be made the
repository Of such a confidence.
For myself, any sound Democrat is
acceptable. 1t is an odd thing, how
ever, that in all the tickets which spec
u1ation offers us, one name Is almost
invariably used. It is always Palmer
and somebody. Palmer's name, by an
almost universal choice, seems to be
made part Of every suggested ticket
Some times it is Palmer and Gordon,
sometimes 1t is Palmer and Hill, but it
is always Palmer"
Mr.. Eckles did not remain in the city
until the conference had completed its
work, but took an early train for his
home at Ottawa.
Later in the day Chairman Bragg an
nounced the names of the committee of
five, provided for in the report. Gen
Edward s. Bragg, Wisconsin; w. d.
Bynum, Indiana; III. s. Robbins, ILL.,
nois; James o. Broadhead, Missouri;
w. B. Haldeman, Kentucky.
Six of the eleven states represented
at the conference named their mem
bers Of the provisional national com
mittee as follows: Illinois, John nj.
Palmer; Indiana, j. r. Wilson; Wiscon-
sin, e. R5sher;; Missouri, L. S.
Krauthoff Minnesota, T.. w. NJ Cutch-
con; Nebraaka. Euclid Martin. The
