GOLD DEMOCRATS
Will Not Have a Ticket-Meet-
ing Small With Two Boilers.

Indianapolis, July 26.-Nineteen COM
mitteemen of the Gold Democrats in
convention here decided by a unani-
nous vote not to fuse with the anti
imperia1fsts and also not to place
ticket in the field.
In accordance with the suggestion by
Charles Tracy, of New York, each
member of the gold national committee
expressed his views
NO LONGER FOR NC KINLEY.
When it came to Mr.. w. B. Halde-
man, proprietor of the Louisville COur-
ier-Journal, a sensation was sprung.
Mr. Haldeman in 1896 contributed val
liable aid in actively raising funds for
the organization and maintenance of
the work Of the Gold Democracy, and
was a. member of the auditing commit
tee of that party. When he had con-
cluded he withdrew from the room.
In the course of his speech he said:
In 1898 took upon myself abundant
abuse from Kentucky Democrats, and
I did it because I believed, with my
friend and commander Henry Waiter
son, in the righteousness of a refusal to
compromise with dishonor on the ques-
ton Of a sound and stable currency.
Il believed then that the nations
honor in the stability of it's money was
involved and if I believed that in this
respect there was any danger now
would stand this day against the reg
ular Democratic organization No sane
man believes this danger exists the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to without
the consent of any other nation has
been relegated to another generation by
this nation. It is a past measure
My heart goes out to those who
struggle for liberty in every nation, and
! applaud and approve the expression in
the Democratic platform sympathizing
with the BoerS-a people who may be
robbed of free citizenship in order to
help English greed to gather to its cof-
fers the diamonds and gold of South At
RIGA Only in the interest of her own
selfish purposes does England desire the
amity of the United States of America.
The Republican administration seems to
love England more than it loves its own
country-the great republic-which to-
day is first in power, honor and place
amongst tn nations of the world We
can not, we must not encourage a weak
and corrupt administration to barter
free institutions and civil liberty in a
combination with the most autocratic,
arrogant and selfish power in all Eur
Dpe- am compelled with a sense of
what is due to the free America that I
love, to earnestly, actively support an
american whom believe loves his coun-
try, and whom believe the highest and
best type of the American citizen, and
thus believing, I shall vote for and sup
port William J Bryan.
Il have served on the auditing COM
mittee during the past four years. Every
dollar of money that was raised for the
national Democratic party in 1896 so far
Democratic sources. I aided in securing
the active work of Abram s. Hewitt, in
raising a campaign fund, declining alb
Solutely to meet Mr.. Cornelius Bliss or
to receive any aid from him, or from the
Republican committee Mr. Hewitt rails
ed for us a fund, mainly from New York
Democrats, which enabled US to pay ev-
cry dollar of our expenses and leave
