party which will be called to
oroer in Tomlinson hall at

with the adoption Of the platform of
The Chicago convention. No definite
steps were taken, however, until July

Prenzel, John B. Wilson, John T. Dye
and Evans Wooden sent out from this

ITS DEVELOPMENT.
From that day the movement has
developed so rapidly that now the ma
nal Democracy is organized in forty
one states, all of which, it is said, will
be represented by full delegations IN the
convention this week. Mr.. Bynum, as
chairman OF the executive committee,
has been busy night and day in push
ing the organization, and he has had
the active support and assistance of
many Of the ablest Democratic poll
tlcians in the country.
Secretary Wilson, of the national
executive committee, completed making
UP the temporary roll OF the conven-
ton so far as he could go until the
Tuesday meeting of the national com
mittee. The following states have GER
titled the names of full delegations
elected: California, Connecticut, Il
unois, Indiana, Iowa. Kansas. Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina
North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, South Carolina,
North Carolina, South Dakota, Ten
nessee, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia,
twenty-ninN in all. The following
states have notified the executive COM
mittee that they have elected delega-
tons but have not yet sent in their lists:
Alabama, Colorado, Delaware, Florida,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, Virginia
and Washington.
These states viii, it is expected, elect
tomorrow: New York, Arkansas, Mis-
sissippi and Notwithstanding a total
OF forty-one states and leaving Idaho,
Wyoming, Nevada and Utah as the
states which will not take part in the
convention
WILL BE NOTABLE.
The convention will be notable in one
or two other particulars aside from the
suddenness with which it has been
brought together 1t will have no con-
tending factions nor opposing ambi-
tons, and it win contain more notable
men than any of those held this year.

"Wednesday night mass meeting by
Fellows Breckenridge, Eckels and
Oufhwaite are looked forward to as
notable contributions to the sound
money literature Of the campaign. W.
j. Curtis of New Jersey one Of the
leaders of the sound money" move
fnent in the Democratic party of his
state, arrived in this city this afternoon.
He said the full delegation of twenty
men from New Jersey would be here
and that a number Of others inter-
ested in the movement would attend
the convention.
THE movement in New Jersey" he
said, lis widespread and powerful OF
the fourteen members of the state COM
mittee when the committee voted as
to whether or not it should support
Bryan. three voted absolutely against
such a course and one failed to vote.
I'VE have three of them now in our
state committee, and the chairman and
secretary of the old state committee
are only waiting for the state conven- (
ton for the election of electors-at-large |
to leave the old party and identify
themselves with the new movement. l I
use
THE TERM OLD PARTY
as referring to what is generally spok- /
en- of as the Democratic party. but we
party at ali. We look upon the adj
herents TO the Chicago platform as the |
boiters and as a matter Of fact they /
are the boilers in New Jersey, for they |
left the principles which the Democrats
of the sCate had already declared for
who is the preference of New Jer- |
sey for the presidential nominee?" was |
asked Mr.. Curtis.
L cannot speak for the delegation
{. b-aI No
ference. and every man comes free to /
cast his vote as he chooses. ] can say, I
however. that we VIII probably be I
united and our principal aim. perhaps, /
viii be to add strength to the strong !
est man. Personally, l believe that /
General Palmer would make the ideal /
candidate.
General Bragg is man of whom 1 |
am very fond. and a man who would (
do honor to the ticket Watterson is
very popular, and would make very
eccepta hle candidate TO many and |
there is only one reason that / could !
offer for not supporting him for the
nomination. Coming from the same
state as General Buckner, his nominal
ton for the presidency would defeat
Buckner's nomination for the vice
presidency, and l hope TO see General
Buckner get that nomination.
WILL SUPPORT GROVER.
The Florida delegation will come to
the convention to support Grover
Cleveland for the presidential nomina-
ton Today a telegram was received
by Mr. Taggart at the Grand hotel
froa,, Arthur Meigs, chairman of the
delegation, asking that a banner be
prepared for the delegation. The ban
ner is 20 be of white silk with a gold
border containing in the center the
portrait OF Cleveland and inscribed
with the words "Our Candidate" Mr.
Megs requested that the banner be
sent TO the union station to meet the
delegation at 1850 o'clock on Tuesday
morning.
Chairman Bynum returned this
morning from Bradford Junction, O..
where he spoke last night to a meet
ing composed largely of railroad men.
Re says there were 1000 people in the
crowd, three special trains bringing
large NUN bers from the surrounding
country. The meeting was TO him. at
least. very satisfactory demonstra-
ton of the interest OF the people in the
cause OF sound money
BRAGG AND BUCKNER.
Senator Donelson Caffery of Iouisi-
ana who is 70 be permanent chairman
of the convention. is expected to reach
Indianapolis tomorrow. Ex-Governor
Flower, the temporary chairman, will
nor arrive here until Tuesday
The impression prevails tonight that
tie ticket IS likely TO be Bragg and
