INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. THE name
of the new party is the National Demo-
cratic party. It's organizers call those
supporting the Chicago platform and
ticket the Populist Democratic party.
The national convention of the Natloh-
al Democratic party will be held at
Indiana polls the first week in Septem-
Der.
There was unanimity in the confer
ence on the selection Of the name OF
the National Democratic party, and
also in determining to distinguish the
two parties by referring to those sup
porting the Chicago platform as the
Populist Democratic party. There was
no reference before the provisional ma
tional committee met, at which 1t was
decided to call convention and nomi-
nate another national ticket Some of
the eastern and southern members OPP
posed third ticket at first, but when
they were told in the middle states
party fealty was so regarded that
many Democrats would not vote unless
there was a third ticket, then all OBJ
jections from the east and south were
withdrawn and the decision to hold
convention was unanimous. 1t was ar
gued that, as the campaign proceeded
and the Republicans began to say
harsh things of Democrats, many of
the latter would vote for Bryan and
SewalI distasteful as the Chicago
platform was to them; as the eastern
and southern gold standard men said
they We're for anything to defeat the
Chicago ticket and platform, they
readily consented to the plan that had
been outlined by the executive COM
mittee, consisting of Bragg of Wiscon-
sin, Bynum of Indiana, Haldeman of
Kentucky, Broadhead of Missouri, and
onIl NFT 10y, ON1N1
Of Chicago was the only absent MEM
Der Of the executive committee, but
Mr.. Ewing took his place, while Sem
ator Palmer, ex-Mayor Hopkins and
Others were active in having the plan
for third ticket carried out. Charles
Tracey Of Alabama, George Foster
Peabody of Brooklyn, John Essems of
Baltimore and other eastern men did
not share in the opposition to a. third
ticket.
The strongest opposition to a third
ticket came from Rhode Island and
Texas-the smallest and the largest.
They were given the fullest considera-
ton because of the desire for unani-
nous action, which was finally secured.
The telegram from President Cleve-
land was regarded by all as indicating
his sympathy with the movement Ev-
cry mention of the presidents name
was loudly cheered His portrait was
the centerpiece in the assembly room.
Ex-Congressman Cultivate, who made
the motion for a convention to nomi-
nate candidates for president and vice
president, holds q prominent appoint
ment under President Cleveland Cen
eral Bragg. ex-Corgressman Bynum
and all the leaders are considered
strong administration men.
The largest visiting delegations, out
side Of Indiana, came from Kentucky,
Ohio and Illinois. The Kentucky dele
gates favor Carlisle for president and
In the event he is not nominated they
want Ex-Governor Buckner for vice
president.
The Illinois and Ohio delegations did not
ask for anything, but there was a general
drift for Senator Paine for president The
Kentucky delegation also asked for the
convention at Louisville but INDIANAPOLIS
showed a guaranteed fund for $4,000 for
all expenses and the guarantee in this
case was made to body of very sub
stanflaI men who duly appreciated the
best bid. There was objection from all
10 holding the convention in any city in
which national convention had been held
this year.
