gold democrats at lnulanapolS. inc following statement has been pre- pared for the press by George F. Pea body, late chairman of the committee:
 Authority was given the new chair man to fill the vacancy on the exc cutive committee caused by the resiS- nation of W. B. Haldeman of Louis vile, and the vacancy on the national committee caused by the resignation of Louis E. Enrich of Colorado, who left the committee in disgust because t opposed a third ticket. The committee then adjourned subject to the call of the chairman.
 Following is the text of the resolu- tiCn adopted by the national commit tee last night:
 Resolved, That in the opinion of this committee the nomination of candi- dates by the national democratic party for the offices of president and vice president is unwise and ineXpedient.
 'Second-That we reaffirm the Indiaa- apolis platform of 1896.
 'ThirG-We Iec Omm nd the state con- mittees in their respective states % preserve their organization and take such steps as in their opinion may best subserve the principles of our party, especially in the maintenance of sound currency, the right of private contract, the independence of the jul dietary and the authority of the presi dent to enforce federal laws. a covert attack on which is made under the guise Of the denunciation of govern ment by injunction.
 We urge the voters not to be de- ceived by the plea that the money question has been finally settled. The specific reiteratiCn of the demand for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 1G to 1 by the Kansas City cOnven- tion and the history known of all men in connection herewith emphasize the danger of this demand. We indorse the action of congress in passing bill em- bodyiug the gUtt ytar1rtcrrcr Tg a step in the right direction. We feel it would be dangerous to elevate to executive power any one hostile to the mainten- ance and enforcement of this law
 The action of the gold democrats in refusing to take any action as a body toward nominating national candidates is regarded by the third ticket people as simplifying the situation. It makes it easier they say. to unite all factions. It is their purpose to nominate d third ticket in any event. and they expect gold democrats and anti-impeTialists to join their party as individuals. With this end in view. the New York third ticket committee issued a call today for a convention to be held in Indian apolis on August II. The call reads as follows:
 The national committee of the gold democrats have brought the usefulness of that organization to an end. It now becomes the duty of the independent committee to enable the independent voters to place in the field q platform and candidates which they can con- scientiously support. This can only be done by new party, permanent in it's aims and prepared to take positive steps against both the old parties.
 We believe that the anti-imperialists, who have done splendid work in re- calling the republic to the ideas of it's founders. will conclude that they can enforce their ideas more effectively by means of third than in any other way. We believe that many citizens who have moi as yet been identified with the anti-imperialists will welcome the change to express their disapprOval of existing conditions.
 Tn order to meet these needs a mass convention is heveby called to meet at Indianapolis at D. m., August II, to nominate or cooperate in the nomina- tion of candidates for president and vice-president. upon q platform sub stantially as follows:
 The republican party is conducting an indirect attack upon the institutions of our country. At home, it corrupts the public morals by selling public of fees and special privileges to the high est contributors to party assets; abroad it wages q wicked war of conquest in violation of the principles of the dec laration of independence.
 The democratic party is conducting a direct attack upon the e'institutions of our country. It advocates dishonest money and threatens the integrity Of the judiciary.
 No man serves Well his country who joins in either of these attacks. Party to neither therefore. but opponents of both, We pledge our honest efforts 10 the following ends:
 'First-Independence and protection to the inhabitants of Cuba, the Philip pine islands, Porto Rico, and Hawaii
 'Second-A single gold standard and a sound banking system.
 'Third-A public service based on merit only.
 This call is addressed to all those opposed to the candidates ,...i plat forms of the republican and demo- cratic parties.
 Those who favor the movement are invited to send their names and ad- dresses to the temporary headquarters at No. Al Broadway, New York
 During the next two weeks the third ticket people expect to get an organ ization in shape, so that regularly elected delegates may be sent to the convention. According to the present plans a committee of the third ticket convention will confer with a commit
