SPECULATION
AS to the Sound Money Democ-
racy's Candidate.
Mr.. Bynum Laughs at the Suggestion
That He Will Be Named.
The Men Most Talked of for President Are
Palmer, of Illinois; MIR. Carlisle and
Postmaster General Wilson-Buck-
ner's Chance for Vice President.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 0.-The
Joint committees of the Commercial
club and board of trade appointed for
the purpose of assisting to entertain
the provisional national committee of
the sound money democracy and to en-
deavor to persuade it to hold it's Sep
tember convention in this city, met
Wednesday afternoon to complete the
details of the arrangements.
The memb bers of the sound money
executive committee are expected
to arrive Thursday afternoon, and a
meeting will be held Thursday night to
look over the correspondence and make
up the credentials of the members of
the national committee. A gathering
of the committee and certainty that
it will call national convention has
brought about considerable gossip as
to probable candidates Mr.. Bynum,
who has been mentioned for the presi-
dency, laughs at the suggestion and
says that his name is not to be consid-
cred. The most talked of are Gen.
Palmer. of Illinois: Mr.. Carlisle and
Mr.. Wilson. postmaster general In
case Gen. Palmer or some other north
ern man is made the nominee for presi-
dent, there is little doubt that Gen.
Buckner, of Kentucky, will be named
for vice president His record as a
democrat is strong and clear and there
is belief that his name on the ticket
would save Kentucky to the honest
| money democracy.
The delegates to Fridays conference
of the provisional national committee
of the gold democrats which will hold
| its first session at two p. M, began ar
irving Thursday. The first to reach
the city were NJ l.. Crawford, of Dali
las, Tex, and ]. p. Smith, of Fort
Worth, Tex. They had scarcely regis
tered at the Bates house before they
complained of the heat, which is ter
rife, the thermometer at noon stand
ing at 96 with scarcely breath of air
stirring. The Texas delegates had lit
tie to say of the proposed conference
but from their utterances it may be
said that they are not entirely in favor
of gold convention.

MARIETTA WINS
The Fourth Game in the Championship |
Series with Parkersburg.

The Fourth Game in the Championship
Series with Parkersburg.
Five hundred people witnessed the
Mariet Parkersburg game Thursday
afternoon, the fourth of the so-called
championship series of six. The local
nine won easily, making their third
victory in the four games. The root
ers" were out in full force, but no in
decent guying was indulged in. the
Marietta management having strictly
forbidden such tactics on the grounds.
The Parkersburg team was under
the management of Fred Coleman, Sig
Marcus being in Baltimore, presum-
ably trying to get the Orioles to come
over and don Parkersburg uniforms for
the remaining games with Marietta.
Taylor and Taylor were in the points
for the home team and Whissen and
Anderson for the visitors. Marietta
took the bat and started the game at a
rattling pace. Hutchins went out on
fly to center and Shiers limped down to
first, being hit by pitched ball. Nc
Cannon met the sphere for two bag
ger and Williams followed with one of
the same color, Shiers and McCamm on
both scoring earned runs. Parkers-
burg failed to score in the first and
both teams got goose eggs in the Sec
ond.
In the third inning three singles by
Shires, McCammon and Williams scored
two more earned runs for Marietta.
Hastings went to first and on around
to third on Marietta's errors and crossed
the plate on Williams single, making
the score to 1.
In the next three innings the home
team secured run in each, while the
visitors drew three blanks. O'Neal
Parkersburg's right fielder, was taken
out in the sixth for poor playing and
McCone substituted. This led to a
rumpus in the Parkersburg team, dur
ing which O'Neal called catcher Ander-
son vile name, for which he should
not only have been removed from the
field, but fined for indecent language.
In the seventh inning Sam Taylor
sent beautiful long drive out to the
fence for three bases and scored oD a
wild throw to third. Jack Taylor
pounded the ball for two bases and
Hutchins did the same, adding
another earned run. Donavan, Park.
ersburg's left fielder, sent the sphere
over the fence in this inning for a
home run. Anderson singled, stole
second and came home on a wild throw
of Sam Taylor.
Neither team made run in the
eighth and ninth and the game ended
9 to in Marietta's favor.
Fielding errors were numerous or
both sides, neither nine being up to it:
usual fielding average. Only 6 hit!
were made off of Taylor's delivery ane
he had II strike-outs to his credit
Whissen was hit hard, the number o
base hits made off of him being IA
only three of the Mariettas striking
out.
Reynolds and Donahue will be in tn
points for Marietta today.

necessarily fatal. Sickness is being
produced, and unless there is speedy
change in the weather, much trouble is
expected. Joseph b. Lapham well
