SOUND.MONEY DEMOCRATS.
Twenty-Five Out Of Thirty-FiVe Favor
Another Convention and Ticket.
WHY A THIRD TICKET is NECESSARY.
The Gold Convention to Nominate Ma
tionaI Ticket TO be Held During
the First Week in Sep
tember.

vass made tonight Of the sentiments Of
the thirty-fve committeeman who viii
no I'm to-norrow's sound-money Democrat
ic meeting shows that twenty-nine OK
them will favor another convention and
ticket.
Tho six who are opposed include Texas.
Georgia, Alabama, and three Eastern
States.
The Northern states Of tho 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 suo-cou-
mittee will be appointed 20 draw up an
address 10 the sound-money Democrats OF
the country giving the reasons why a
third ticket Is necessary.
This will be adopted at Saturdays meet
ing OF the committee and the time and
plsce OF holding the convention VIII then
be fixed. IL will probably be held during
the FIRST week In September
COMNIlNT EXCITED.
Much comment IS excited by the atti-
tude of the Eastern leaders. While all
the Eastern States except New Jersey
and Delaware will be represented at to-
morrow's meeting they will not be rep
resented by party leaders. not by men
who have tho party organizations behind
them. Neither Mr. Cleveland nor any
q the men close to him has spoken
word Of announcement for the movement
as yet.
Along with the Texas delegates are
II. l.. Crawford. of Dallas. and j. ii.
Smith. Of Fort Worth.
Down IN our State" said Mr.. Smith,
Tho gold men have allied themselves
ha
money faction has been almost cbliter-
ated There has been too much delay
and | do not think that action AZ this
time will bring out the full strength CT
the movement"
WHERE THERE WILL BE oPPOSI-
TON.
It IS APPARENT that there will be
a little opposition 10 a third ticket COM
ing from the Southern and Eastern
states. where the sonnd-mOney Demo-
Gratis 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 At
lanta. but the most of our people IN
Georgia do not believe I'm II. They want
10 see Bryan defeated and believe that
the surest way of doing IL is by voting
for Mckinley.
THE Eastern people. so far as I can
learn. feel very much the same way.
Another point that holds them back IS
that hv declaring for a third ticket they
migl lose their hold upon the organiza-
tion and once they should lose that tb'y
would be practically out of politics.
AS GOOD A DEMOCRAT As YOU.
Il want 10 make sound-mouey speeches
In the campaign, but / would rather DO ii
in behalf Of a straight sound-mOney Dem.
o.ratic ticket than for a Republican cam
dldate. Iwant 20 Dee able 20 look any
Democrat in the eye and tell him I'm as
good q Democrat as he is
"Our people" said Colonel II. G.
Simms. Of West Virginia. "are unani-
nous iu their demand for n straight
Democratic ticket and platform meeting
their hOnest-money views. We wan,
something for which we can make 4
straight aggressive fight. While most
Of the machine politicians n our Stat
have fallen into line you can go along
every line OF railroad In West Virginia
and you will hardly find Democrat
in business who is not willing TO vote
fer n sound money ticket. They cannot
bring themselves % vote for Mckinley
but ~ there is not another Democratic
ticket in the field most Of them viii stay
