TWO SOUND MONEY DELEGATES TO
INDIINAPOLIS.
Many New Names Added to tho Petitions
for a sound-Money League-lhc ffee
siiverites and Their Candidates.

The State of Virginia is to be repre-
scented in Che Indianapolis Conference
which from present appearances will de-
eide the question OF naming third ticket
for the coming campaign.
The delegates from nearly all OF the
states have been selected in such man
ner as the leaders in the various States
determined
A meeting OF the soundmoney Demo-
Gratis who favor the conference has been
held In Richmond. and at this meet
ing. which was held late SATURDAY after
noon, Mcssrs Joseph Bryan. Of richmond.
and Il. {. venable. of Petersburg. were
selected 10 attend the indianapolis Con-
ference.
The petitions OF the sound-money men
were still being circulated yesterday, ana
as constantly are new names being add
ed. These como from no class or busi-
ness or laboring men. but from all the
avenues OF life. showing that the work.
ingmen as well as tho merchants recog-
nize that their interests lie in tho prev
alence OF sound money.
Tho Sound Money League which Is be-
ing organized has not. OF course. outlined
line Of action or discussed its subse-
Guent policy, but II Is more than likely
that they will contend for a sound money
man for Congress. and. probably. consider
at least the proposition Of n third ticket.
DISTRICT Committee.
The meeting of the District Committee
tonight. at which will be decided when
and where the convention will be held, nad
the effect yesterday OF holding I'm cnecA
any further announcements Of candidates.
for. upon the length OF time given FOR
canvass will rsst the determination or
one or more gentlemen who are consider
ing the question of submitting their
claims.
The committee. OF which Mr.. r. l.. c..
Scott, OF Ashland. IS chairman. VIII meet
az o'clock this evening at the Jefferson
/, is most likely that tho convention Will
be held In Richmond upon some date be-
tween August 18th and the Ztn. TINS
would give the various county leaders
time TO call their meetings and select
their delegates.
The State Committee also meets at the
Jefferson tonight Mt $50 o'clock. and. at
this meeting IL will probably be definitely
stated whether Hon. !. Taylor Ellvson
will continue AZ the head OF the party or
give place TO some one more enthusiast
ticailv in accord with the present silver
movement
There seems 70 be little doubt that Mr.
rlyson will continue 10 act AS chairman
OF the party. although up 90 this time ne
has not made any public statement upon
the subject.
MIR. HAW UNDECIDED.
II was generally believed that Mr.. Geo.
T. Haw would decide yesterday as 10
whether he would acquiesce in the wish
OF "a large number of silver men OF the
district. and formally enter the lists for
the nomination.. but somehow the letter
that he looked for never came, ana at
. O'Clock he left for the country 10 at
tend the funeral OF a friend. and the day
PASSED without another competitor against
Colonel Elicit and Captain Frayser.
The letter. which IS UNDERSTOOD 10 be
IN course Of preparation by DR.. winston
Of Hanover. will probably determine tho
course of Mr. Haw. and in the meanwhile
the other candidates sre busy among the
county and city workers. and will nave
their fences pretty well put up before Mr..
law gets on the ground.
