Issued and Speakers to BE Put out.
Appointments on the National
Committee.
Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 4.-Chairman
w d. Bynum, of the national committee
of the sound money democratic party, an
nounced this morning that the headquar-
ters will be located in Chicago with
branch in New York. This decision was
reached at a conference of leaders in the
movement, held in the quarters of the
Louisiana committee in the Grand hotel
this forenoon.
There had been strong talk of locating
the headquarters here, and the Indianapo-
lis papers this morning announced 1t as
a settled fact that the selection of Mr..
Bynum meant that the headquarters of
the sound money democrats would re-
main where it has been from the first. No
reason for the change has been announc-
ed, but 1t is probably due to the fact that
an Illinois man is at the head of the tick
ct. 1t is conceded by the active men in
the movement that the main fight is to be
made in the states of Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kentucky Michigan and WiscOn-
sin. and Chicago was decided TO be the
best location from which to direct the
campaign.
Literature will be circulated and speak
ers put in the field. Both candidates will
be called upon to make some speeches,
but no oratorical tour Will be attempted.
Gen. Buckner has been through nearly
every campaign in the past forty years,
and is still strong and effective speaker.
His unique personality will, 1t is thought,
have not little to do with the campaign.
Both candidates are, however, too far
advanced in years to be able to make a
stamping tour of the country.
Mr. Bynum this morning was in a hap
Ply frame of mind. He said: THE sue
cess of the sound money convention has
far exceeded the most sanguine expecta-
tions of its promoters. / consider its
achievement the marvel of American po-
litical history. The organization perfect
ed is no temporary affair. We have plant
ed the seed of true democracy and glori-
GUS will be the productive fruit. The ban
ner of democracy has been at last prop
erly inscribed, and we will CALAMITY
march behind it to ultimate success. 1t
is my opinion that the ticket nominated
yesterday, representing as 1t does, the
blue and the gray signifying union for
ever, could not have been improved. The
character of the two men is beyond re-
proach They represent true soldiery and
honest public servants
In reply to a question as to how many
of the states represented in the conven-
ton will place electoral tickets in the field,
Mr. Bynurn said: II think nearly every
state will do so. OF course, in few sec
tions where the cause is absolutely hope
less, no electoral ticket will be named. We
will make our fight where it will do the
most good"
Mr. Bynum said that the various state
organizations would begin operations at
once and sound money speakers would be
supplied on demand. Mr. Bynum was ask
ed to make an estimate on the total vote
the ticket would likely receive and he re-
piled: Although it is too early to give any
figures of our strength, still believe 1,000,-
900 votes is d conservative estimate of
what Palmer and Buckner will receive in
November"
Chairman Bynum this afternoon APP
pointed four members of the new national
executive committee of the national dem
ocratic party. They are: w. B. Haldeman,
of Louisville; L. C. Krauthoff, Kansas
City, Mo-; F. w. M. Cutcheon, of Mime
