WILL GOLD DEMOCRATS TAKE Up DEWEFr
BELIEF THAT DEMOCRATS OPPOSED TO BRYAN
AND REPUBLICANS AGAINST MKINI-EY
WOULD SUPPORT THE ADMIRAL.

Indianapolis. April % (SpeciaD-Much interest
is being manifested in the coming meeting of the
Indiana Gold Democrats. at which plans for the
approaching State and National campaign will be
discussed, and a line of action agreed The
indications that the meeting will assume
National Importance. a movement is foot
to make Admiral Dewey the candidate of the Demo
Gratis who opposed to Bryan and the Republi-
whc opposed Mckinley. The leaders
in the Indiana gold standard party do not
lieve that a campaign the single idea of the
gold standard would attract votes this fall they
regard that issue as having been disposed of for
the present, but they are opposed to Bryan be-
he represents the free silver idea and the
moral effect of his election in this regard would be
bad.
They assert that there many Republicans
throughout the country who are dissatisfied with
the present Administration and who do not want
vote for Mckinley but would do rather than
support Bryan. 1t is urged that Admiral Dewey
would be acceptable to this class of Republicans
and also 10 the anti-Bryan Democrats and the
election might be thrown into the House There is
a belief here that the Eastern States. where the
anti-eXpansion sentlmen- appears strongest among
Republicans would gladly welcome Dewey as a
candidate. and Democrats and Republicans alike
could support him his record of patriotism,
while his politics would not be objectionable to
either element. because he has never been
partisan.
