Meeting at Chicago of the Executive
Committee Appointed by the In
dianapOIis Convention.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1o-To carry forward it's
work the sound-money executive committee
appointed at indianapolis last January met
in this city to-day to endeavor to proceed
with the task of creating a national COM
mission, which President Mckinley was
prevented from naming by the failure of
Congress to pass the measure presented
during the closing hours of the extra ses-
sion. The committee is composed of fifteen
representative business men residing in
various parts Of the United States. 1t is a
strictly nonpartisan body Hugh H. Hanna,
of Indianapolis is at its head as the chair
man. The other members are: NJ l.. Craw-
ford, Dallas, Tex; w. B. Dean, ST. PAU,

The business of chief Importance will be
to select eleven men who can devote their
time to the work mapped out for them, to
compose the commission. To them will be
intrusted the responsibility of undertaking
to devise some satisfactory and acceptable
plan for revising, reforming and regulating
the currency system The selection by this
committee of such a commission is in ac-
cordance with the powers conferred or 1t In
resolutions Of the convention of business
men held at indianapolis last January. The
sessions, for the most part at least, will be
executive. The qualifications of every man
whose name is presented for membership in
the commission will be discussed Great
care is to be taken in the makeup of this
body. Bankers, business men and farmers
are the classes from which it is proposed
to frame it.
Seven members Of the executive commit
tee responded to their names when Chair
man Hanna called tile meeting to order
Those present were: MesSrs. Hanna, Stan
nard ]. f. Hansen, Peabody, Wilson, Freis
and Kohlsaat. The committee held an ex-
ecutive session and discussed plans for the
future. Nothing definite done pending
the arrival Of the remaining members Of
the committee tomorrow. The present
outlook is that what is known as the Chi
cagO plan will probably be adopted. The
commission appointed will work on the gen.
eral scheme mapped out by the Indianapolis
convention and will have exclusive power

AT that figure the Republicans would carry
the State by at least 10000 according to the
best figures. The vote yesterday was very

Republicans at the state committee rooms

gains. Republicans lost by failure to get
