Canton. 0.. August 19.-M^Jor McKinley addr«s»ed a delegation of two hundred Afro-Americans from Cleveland yesterday afternoon, headed by one of their race, State Repreeentatlve Smith. Mr. McKinley said: "Mr. Smith and my-Fellow-cltlaens-It girea me extreme pleasure to meet and greet this company of rifles and my colored fellow-cltiaens of the city of Cleveland and of northern Ohio; and I rejoice to leant from your eloquent spokesman * that your race this year, as In all the years of the past, stands faithfully to the Republican cause, which I believe is the ' ciose of the country. I do not forget—no man can forget—that, whether in war or In peace, the race which you represent never turned its back on ft** stars and stripes. When th»t great civil war commenced no man could tell wha Its outcome would be in regird to its effect on your .race. There were those who believed that tt must result in the atooU lion of human slavery. There were those who believed otherwise. The result was the Immortal proclamation of the emancipation by the best friend you ever had. Abraham Lincoln, whose name you win cherish and revere forever and forever^James O. Blaine once said that the first -instinct of an American was ’equalLy ^equality Of privilege, equality in POl-tIcal power.' That sentiment long ago found expression in the constitution of the Otolted States, and the people of this cdantry places In that great instrument, where it had never been before, and where, undkr God, it shall ever remain, civil and poetical equality to every citizen everywhere beneath the flag. "I congratulate you, gentlemen, on the splendid progress that your race has made since emancipation. You have done better, you have advanced more rapidly than it was believed possible at that time; you have Improved greatly the educational ad- , vantages which you have had. Your peo- > *ple everywhere, North and South, are accumulating property, and to-day you stand as among the most conservative of the citizens of thte great republic. I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart on the advancement you have already made and I sincerely wish for you and your race, fellow-citizens of a common country, the highest realization of your hopes and your prayers. "We are now engaged in a political content, and your presence In such vast numbers here to-day evidences the interest which you have In the public questions that are now engaging the attention of the American people. We have a great country, antf we must keep it great. The i cst which the United States must occupy, both In wages and industries and In the integrity of Its finances and currency, must be at the head of the nations of the earth. To that place of honor the people of the country must restore it this year. They

"We want In the United States neither cheap money nor cheap labor. We will have neither the one nor the other. We must forget that nothing is cheap to the people which comes from abroad when It entails Idleness upon our own laborers. We are opposed to any policy which Increases the number of unemployed in the United States even if it does give us cheaper foreign goods; and we are op-

posed t

loan

1 to any policy, which degrades Amermanhoad that we may have cheaper

products made either at home or abroad. Having reduced the pay of labor, It is now proposed to reduce the value of the

money In which labor is paid.

“This money question presents Itself to me In this homely fashion: If free coinage of silver means a Kt-cent dollar, then It is not an honest dollar. If free coinage

; dollar equal to a gold some of Its advocates assert,

means dollar.

we will not then have cheap dollars, bu‘ dollars Just like those we now have, and which will be as hard to get. In which case free coinage will not help the debtor or make li easier for him to pay his debts. "My countrymen, the most un-American of all appeals observable in this campaign is the one which seeks to array labor against capital, employer against em-

ployed.

most unpatriotic and

fraught with the greatest peril to all concerned, We are all political equals here— equal In privilege and. opportunity, dependent upon each other, and the prosperity of the one Is the prosperity of the oiher. It is os Mr. Lincoln said to the crmmiUee from the Workingmen’s Association of New York in the campaign of3864: ‘Prosperity Is the fruit of labor; prosperity is desirable; it Is a positive good in the world. Tha‘ some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hones is just encouraging to industry and enterprise. Let no wan who is homeless pul! down the house of another, but let him Work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.'" MR. BRYAN MAKES A DENIAL. He Wna Never In the Employ of Sliver Mine Owner*. Upper Red Hook, N. Y„ August 19.WlUlam J. Bryan, for the first time since Senator John M. Thurston declared that fce (Bryan) was In the employ of mlneowjxera, made an official denial, coupled with a challenge to the national Republican committee to come out In the open and accuse him or forever be silent. Mr. Bryan's attention had been called to the controversy between Senators Thurston «nd Stewart, and he determined last night to settle the matter If possible. He, therefore, demands an open charge, which, he •ays, he will refute with details of his pr.vate life and his financial affairs or •Hence. He said: "I have already denied this charge on several occasions, but. the reiteration of It by Senator Thurston, a distinguished resident of my own State, Justified me In answering Jt again. I have never at any Eme or under any circumstances been in the employ of any mine-owners. Individual or collectively, directly or Indirectly, nor have I ever been In the employ of or paid by any bimetallic league association. Aside from my editorial salary of about 1150 per month paid by the Omaha World-Herald and a small amount derived from the legal profession, my Income since my retirement from Congress has beenVlerlved •ntirely from lectures before the Chuatauqua Lyceum and lecture bureaus, which have usually paid me a fixed sum, and from contrlbut.ons made by the people of localities where I have spoken.

New York, and for the first time since the days of Martin Van Buren will make addresses In nearly every important city. He ! will first go to Albany, the home of David B. Hill, spending five hours there. He wdll visit <ach big city along the New York Central road. Speaking of his trip to-day, he said: “We shall leave Upper Red Hook at 6:56 on Tuesday, the 25th. reaching Albany at 8:30 p. m. We will leave there about 10 p. m. and go to Syracuse, reaching there at 2:06 a. m., and remain there until noon, and then reach Rochester at 2:25 p. m., and stop at Rochester one hour, arriving at Buffalo about 4:45 p. m. Then we take the first train for Erie. Pa., arriving there between \ 7 and 8 o’clock, and will attend a meeting , of Democratic clubs that evening, and return the next morning to Buffalo, when i we will attend another meeting of Demo- i cratic clubs. We will remain in western New York for the rest of the week. Ws will stay in Chautauqua over Sunday and leave for the West Monday." Mr. Bryan will probably speak In Medina, Homellsvllle and Jamestown, also. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan reviewed a troop of United States artillery as it passed through here this morning. It was Battery K, First Artillery, In command of Lieut. A. Slaker, and was on Its way to Palenville, where it will camp. To-day Is to be spent very quietly, the party driving down this afternoon to Rhine Cliff and through Ellerslie, the summer home of Governor Morton. Governor Morton and his family are at their lodge in the Adircndacks, and the house is closed. Whether or not Mr. Bryan will speak at Poughkeepsie, Pine Plains or some other place in this county is not yet decided, but he will probably speak in one of the places. On Saturday the party will go over to the Catskills for a day’s outing. SENATOR ALLISON'S SPEECHES, One of Them Will Be Mn«1e In Indian*—The Committee’* Work. Chicago, August 19.—Among the callers at Republican national Headquarters last evening was Senator Allison. He was anxious to confine his speech-making te his own State, but yielded to the persuasion of the national committee, and will make two speeches in Illinois, one in Indiana, one in Minnesota and two in Nebraska. The speeches will be made in September and October. One of the Illinois speeches will probably be made in Chicago. Messrs. Durbin, Cummings and Payne, of the Republican national executive committee have arrived, to assist Committeeman Dawes in the work that is piled up before him. Senator Thurston Is expected, with the latent information from the seat of war, and his advice wdll probably be put into concrete shape ere many days elapse. There are nearly a hundred people engaged in the work of distribution of printed matter, and the amount of literature still on the hooks would fill a goodsized library. r-Ar-Benator Tliurntan'Confident. Chicago, August 19.—Senator John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, arrived here en route East. ‘"As far as I can judge,” he said, "the conditions are altogether favorable for a Republican victory. I have spoken in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas, and in all those States I have come in contact with all the leading Republicans of each State, and they confidently expect to carry one and all of them. But I am free to say that a vigorous campaign must be kept up until election day to accomplish what we hope, and confidently expect to achieve In each one of these States. I am now on my way East. I am scheduled for two speeches in Vermont and one In Maine. I shall leave Chicago to-morrow at 3 o’clock.” Mount In Wayne County. Special to The Indianapolis News. Richmond, Ind., August 19.—The Republicans of Wayne county opened the campaign to-day at Cambridge City, this county. James A. Mount, candidate for Governor, made the address in Capital Hill Park. Nearly one thousand people from Richmond went over on a special tial’i. The grove In which Mount spoke to-day is one of the historic spots of the State. It lies close to the old home of Sol Meredith, and is beautifully situated. Governor Morton made several of his memorable add.> esses there, and Schuyler Colfax, Governor Porter, "Blue Jeans” Williams, Benjamin Harrison and many other men of fame have teen heard upon the same

Looking For An Orfran. Special to The Indianapolis, News. * Wabash, Ind., August 19.—The free silver Democrats of this county, who are yet without an organ—the Wabash Times, the regular Democratic paper, refusing to support Bryan—have abandoned their efforts to open a printing establishment of their own, being unable to find anybody willing to undertake the enterprise, and are now trying to have a paper printed weekly in a local office. Alfred Isley is bopked to do the heavy editorial, and Jerome Wellman, of Urbana, to be the local editor. The canvass of the county has resulted in turning up 250 persons of responsibility who will take the paper one year at SI. Bryan Collcue Club*. Chicago, August 19.—Some of tjie students of the University of Chicago who are friendly to Mr. Bryan are enthusiastic about a national league of Democratic college men, intending to make a projected organization permanent. A convention will be held the latter part of October. Chicago is to be headquarters, so as to be in direct touch with the Democratic campaign committee. A call w T as issued yesterday urging all students who are :n sympathy with the movement to organize Bryan clubs in their respective institutiona at once; and to communicate immediately with Wm. Oeschger, president of the Bryan Club of the University of Chi-

An Incident Connecting His Life

With Ex-Presldcnt Harrison. Special to The Indianapolis News.

Shelbyville, Ind., August 19.—Mr. Samual B. Robertson died at his home in this city last evening. He was seventy-four years old. The deceased came here in 1825 with his parents, and has been a continuous resident. When the war commenced, he enlisted in the Sixteenth Indiana, with General Hackelman. When the Seventieth Indiana was being recruited, Mr. Robertson enlisted and was issigned to Company B. Before the close of service he was made second lieutenant on General Harrison’s staff. He w-as as gahant a soldier as ever wore a uniform. Perhaps no man ever loved another ao aid Lieutenant Robertson General Harrison. Before prlvite Robertson was promoted from the ranks, on a march one day frem Dalton to Resicea. he broke down and was left by the wayside by his comrades. General Harrison, passing by on his horse, noticed the prostrate form. and. getting off his horse, he found that the man was not dead. Assisting him to mount and. placing his gun and knapsack to the saddle. General Harrison let Mr. Robertson ride while he walked This act saved Mr. Robertson’s

life.

When General Harrison nude the race for Governor. In 1876, the first opportunity presented Itself for Mr. Robertson to ,show his gratitude in a public way for his old commander. During the campaign General Harrison was billed to speak here. Soon «s the announcement was made Lieutenant Robertson went to the Republican central committee and asked for the privilege of carrying out a program of his own. Being such a pronounced Democrat,

he was given permission to do anything he pleased. The street at the depot is seventy feei wide from curb to curb. A few days before General Harrison was to be here Mr. Robertson put a gang of carpenters to work and had erected a triumphal arch that entirely spanned the street, a platform being arranged in the center on top. This arch was made a I thing of great beauty. When General | Harrison arrived, Mr. Robertson had his , daughter on the platform with a great ! mass of magnificent roses, arranged in Lora such a manner that all of them could be thrown into the carriage at once. The carriage with the General was driven under the arch, when it was fairly baptized! with roses. Thousands of people witnessed the scene, and e more impressive one never occurred in any campaign. Mr. Robertson’s cup of Joy was filled to overflowing, and General Harrison could

scarcely suppress his tears.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERI-

CAN BAR ASSOCIATION.

Flora Finlayson.

San Francisco, August 19.—Miss Flora Finlayson, the well-knowr. opera singtr, died some time Monday night In her apartments at a private hotel. The door of her room was forced) open by friends at noon yesterday, and lying upon the floor was the body of the young woman, who had evidently been dead a number of hours. Heart failure is supposed to have been the cause. Miss Finlayson had been ailing several days, but her illness was not considered serious. She had recently been engaged to appear at the Tivoli during the grand opera season and was to have made

her first appearance last night.

Miss Finlayson, who w r as a fine contralto singer, was about twenty-five years old. She was discovered singing in a church choir in a little Western town several years ago by the manager of the Bostonians, and became a member of that company, with which she appeared in Indianapolis. Since then she has sung with Lillian Russell’s and other operatic com-

panies.

Saratoga, N. Y., August 19.—There was a large attendance at the convention hall at the opening of the nineteenth annual meeting of the American Bar Association to-day. When Lord Russell, Sir Francis Lockwood and Montague Crackanthorpe, together with their ladies, entered the hall they were greeted with hearty applause. Judge George S. Batchellor escorted them to seats at the front and near the platform. The president of the association, Moorefleld Storey, conducted thei distinguished visitors to seats on the platform. Among others honored with seata there were J. Randolph Tucker, Edward J. Phelps, William Allen Butler, Henry Hitchcock, Austin G. Fox, Charles Claflin Allen, Francis Rawle and James C.

Carter.

President Storey in his annual address reviewed the most noteworthy changes in statute law on points of general interest made in the several States and by Congress during the preceding year. While the year had been marked by discontent among the people, the laws show only peace. Discontent did not affect legislation. There was a noticeable growth of a disposition to assert the general Interest of the community at the expense of individual freedom. He sighted such legislation as the collateral inheritance tax, the graduated income tax, the graduated tax on the estate of deceased persons and the character and

John Howard Payne, and when that equally unfortunate genius produced his opera, "Clara, the Maid of Milan,” at the Drury Lane, Crouch directed the orchestra. In that opera "Home, Sweet Home” was sung for rhe first time on any stage. It was years afterward that Crouch composed "Kathleen Mavournext.” He sang the ballad in Plymouth, and its success was Instantaneous. Then followed from his pen the songs, “Would I Were With Thee,” "Sing to Me, Nora,” “We Parted In Silence,” and others. All of them, save the first named, are forgotten. All of them have been republished in this country. "Kathleen Mavourneen,” is believed to have made nearly $75,000 for those who have sold it, yet not a cent of compensation has ever been received by the man who wrote it. In 1850 Crouch was with Max Maretzek in the first Italian opera performances In New York. Later he was church organist in various cities in the South, and in the war times he was one of the first to respond to the Confederacy’s call for arms. At the age of seventy this strange genius became an apprentice to a furniture manufacturer, and for q number of years he labored energetically and faithfully at his trade. Of recent years he had lived in poverty and distress. Within the last few months his mind has been partially gone, and he has spent much of his time humming "Kathleen Mavourneen.” In an interview some months ago Prof. Crouch tol.d how this song was written. He said the words had been sent to him

Ingland, melody came to him. “I was so Infatuated with it,” said he, “that I sang the song to large audiences in the Plymouth Assembly rooms, Plymouth, Devonshire, and within a week it began to spread. Thus was my offspring begotten, and so became the child of the world." The poem itself was not written by Mr. Crouch. It was first published In an English magazine. That was in 1837, wnen the musician was but nineteen years of ege. The perfect rhythm of the lines at once fastened his attention, and the melody grew upon the words as he repeated them in his mind. The melody was more completely evolved soon afterward while one day he was riding about the grounds of the Duke of Bedford’s castle at Engley. These are the verses: Kathleen Mavourneen! The gray dawn Is breaking. The horn of the hunter is heard on the

hill;

The lark from her light wing the bright

dew Is shaking—

Kathleen Mavourneen! What! Slumber-

ing still?

Oh, hast thou forgotten how soon we must

Oh, hast thou forgotten this day we must

part—

It may be for years and it may be for-

ever—

Oh, why art thou silent, then, voice of my heart? Kathleen Mavourneen! Awake from thy slumbers! The blue mountains glow in the sun’s golden light; Ah! Where is the spell that once hung on my numbers? Arise in thy beauty, thou star of my

night!

falling

It may be for years and it may be for-

Then, why art thou silent then, voice of

Professor Crouch was married four times. His last wife, who was Miss Martha Vaughn, of Virginia, survives him. He has been the father of twenty-seven children. His family now consists of Mrs. Crouch and five children—Jun’.us, Rosu, Blanche, Anna and Frederick. Mr. Walter Crouch, a son of Mr. Crouch’s third wife, lives in Washington. Mrs. C. Mawdsley

is Mr. Crouch’s eldest daughter.

Cora Pearl, a famous character of Paris, who died some years ago, was a daughter of Professor Crouch, and was born in his early life. When fourteen years old she left her home, and was never seen by her father afterward. He searched for her many years without result, but finally found that she bad an assumed name, she having been recognized by "+ *•*»

Mr. Crackenthorpe's grand aunt was the wife of the poet, Wordsworth. As a schoolboy the future counsellor was an apt scholar, taking many prizes, and he gained many honors and scholarships when he was at Oxford, 1850-54. On taking up the law he was awarded the studentship of the Four Inns of Court in 1859, and in 1875 he was made a Queen’s counsel, and in 1877 became a benchman of Lincoln’s Inn. For many years he was a leader in the Courts of Chancery, but cf late has appeared largely before the House of Lords and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in appeal cases. He has always been interested in the practical aspect of his profession, and has written a number of magazine articles on social, legal and political subjects. Mr. Crackemhorpe is a lt-gal reformer, is interested In methods of legal education and takes a hand m these matters whenever he can. In poll--tics he is a Liberal-Unionist; a political tour of Ireland, which he made in 1887, as detailed in his letters to the Times has given much meat for argument against nome rule. He is a noted public speaker, and his addresses on political ana social subjects are among the best discussions

of the day.

Sir Francis Lockwood.

Sir Francis Lockwood, Q. C., M. P., who is one of Lord Russell’s party, was bom in 1846; is a Cambridge University man. He was called to the bar in Lincoln’s Inn In 1872, and became a Queen’s counsel in 1882 and a bencher In 1886. His political life began practically when he was made one of the commissioners in 1880 to Inquire into the corrupt practices at Chester. He was recorder of Sheffield in 1884, and entered Parliament from York in 1885 as a Liberal. He is still a Liberal, still in Parliament, where he is highly popular on account of his wit and his waggish tendencies. He is wont to while away the tedium of debate by drawing caricatures of the members; some of these draw.ngs have become quite famous. His talent in this line saw "publicity when he illustra ted C. J. Darling's facetious legal work. Sir Frank has always been a friend of the home rule movement, and was counsel for the Irish party in the great case before the Parnell commission. In October, 1884, he was appo.nted solicitor general under Lord Rosebery’s premiership, and he received the honor of knighthood on

The ClinracH Against Preacher Brown, She Says, Are True. San Francisco, August 19.—Mattie Overman, who figured so conspicuously and unenviably in the Brown scandal, has made a confession, in which she, declares that she is a perjurer and that Dr. Brown is all his enemies represented him to be. This startling admission of Miss Overman, made after months of silence and after Dr. Brown has taken up a new home in a new' field, has reopened the entire case. The woman’s confession has been fully considered by the ministers and laymen that form the trial court. Mr. Tunnell has gone before the members of the ecclesiastical court and has corroborated all that Miss Overman confessed. The members of the council could listen to the startling story, but. as a council, they could do nothing. Miss Overman’s confession was priced in the cutsody of the secretary of the Bay conference. A resolution asking the Bay conference to take action in the matter was adopted by a unanimous vote. The Bay conferencewill, therefore, meet without delay in special session. The Rev. C. O. Brown will be notified of the new turn in his affairs, and will be ordered to appear in person or by representative to show- cause why the judgment of suspension for an indefinite period of the ministry shall not be made absolute and permanent expulsion. Dr. Brown must answer to the Bay conference or be expelled.

The growth of the new party in the South is even more marked than in the East. While no public announcement of' the fact was made, it is known that the Executive committee, at its meeting Monday, received assurances that the electoral votes of Florida, Alabama and Texas will be cast for the nominee of the Indianapolis convention. If the plan of fusion with the Republicans and Populists in those States is carried out, it means the defeat of Bryan and Sewall. The correspondence with the leading Democrats In those States indicates that there is nothing iu the way of successful fusion. This will be one of the most important questiona that will be considered by the national committee at its cessions here during the week of the convention. There are on file at the headquarters letters from nearly all the leading Democrats of the South, pledging loyalty to the new party. Donelson Caffery, United States Senator from Louisiana, who has Joined the new party, and refuses to resign his seat In the Senate, has sent to headquarters the following statement of his position: "Whether the platform has abandoned Democracy or not is a matter of reason and argument, not one to be settled by the declaration of & convention composed of men formerly belonging to the Democratic party. If a set of men temporarily representing a political party violates in their platform the doctrines, tenets and traditions of that party, there is not only no obligation on the members of that party to support either the platform or its nominee, but it is Jheir duty to oppose both. "When the Democratic party honored me by electing me to a seat in the United States Senate it stood: “Fiost. for sound money and the maintenance of the public faith and credit. "Second, for the enforcement of the law, both State and Federal, under all circumstances. “Third, for the maintenance of the three co-ordinate branches of the Federal Government as they are. "Fourth, for the freedom and inviolability of all contracts, both public and pri-

vate.

"The' Chicago platform assails sound money and erects the standard of inflatkm. It threatens to dishonor the national honor by paying its gold obligations in depreciated silver. It denounces government by injunction and the interference of the Federal Government in State affairs because President Cleveland prevented the Chicago strikers from interfering with and destroying railroad property in the custody of receivers appointed by United States courts and carrying United States malls. It threatens the destruction of the Supreme Court of the United States as at present organized, and it threatens to invade the liberty of the citizen, heretofore unlimited, to contract for payment in any commodity known to mankind, and not of a character to Injure morals or threaten

society.

“It Is a matter, therefore, of serious contention whether the Chicago platform was a Democratic utterance deserving the support and allegiance of Democrats. Every man must Judge this question for himself. From my standpoint, with the exercise of my judgment and conscience, I can not follow the new banner witli strange devices. The old flag of the Democracy of sound money, sound honesty, rigid enforcement of all law, maintenance of our admirable system of Federal government and its full integrity and me widest lib erty of the citizen to contract for payment In any legitimate commodity of commerce, is good enough for me. I have followed U for many years, in defeat and victory, !n storm and in sunshine, and I promise to follow it to the end of my dajv:.

Until such a party speaks, it is useless, thougti it may serve to herald the exalted patriotism of certain censors who have demanded my retirement, for any indi-

States are beginning to report to headquarters the names of delegates to the convention. The credentials of the Connecticut delegates which have arrived show that It is made up of the strongest representatives of the Democratic party In the State. It is headed by Thomas Waller, of New London, who preceded John C. New, of this city, as consul-gen-eral to London, and who was chairman of the State delegation in the recent Chicago convention. Those who saw him protest against every step that the convention took believed that if a new convention should be called he would be In It representing the Democrats of his State. With him on the delegation that will be here are Lewis Sperry, of Hartford; George M. Gunn, Millford; Zalmon Goodseil, Bridgeport; Robert, J. Vance, New Britain; Joel A. Sperry, New Haven; H. Holton Wood, Elerby; Charles A. Elliott, Clinton; David A. Wells, Norwich; Charles Canfield, Bridgeport? Alexander Wildman, Danbury, and George M. Woodruff, Litchfield. There are several men on the delegation besides Mr. Waller who are known all over the country, among them Da>vi<] a. Weils and ex-Congressman Vance. Notice of the election of delegates In Vermont has also

reached headquarters.

There will be State conventions to elect delegates nearly every day betwen now and the national convention. Delaware will name delegates Saturday. New Hampshire tc-morrow, Michigan next Wednesday. Tennessee, next Monday. Georgia next Wednesday, Nebraska to-morrow, Missouri next Wednesday, Pennsylvania next Tuesday, West Virginia a week from Saturday, Indiana next Wednesday, New York, a week from Saturday, Virgin* next Wednesday, South Dakota one week from Friday. Illinois next Tuesday. Wisconsin next Wednesday, North Dakota next Wednesday. Iowa next Wednesday, Louisiana one week from to-morrow, Texas next Tuesday, Maine to-morrow, Arkansas probably on the 27U:. Jforth Carolina next Wednesday. The men In charge of the work at headquarters are confident that not more than three States will be unrepresented at the convention. Chairman Bynum, of the executive committee, says every mm «* tbe 2,000 Uokets set said*

It may be that Bourke Cockran, of New I York, will be either the temporary or the permanent chairman. It seem# certain that the executive committee has it in mind to invite him to accept one of th.se places. While the executive committee has been In some doubt as to whether it ought to assume the responsibility of selecting officers of the convention, If has , been practically decided that the conumlttee shall pick out men for the important positions so that they can be nodfied a week or ten dayi before the convention meets. The names of the men chosen w U probably not be made public until the national committee meets here September I, and formally makes the selections. During the last few days a sentiment in favor of Henry Wattemon for President has been making itself manifest in many parts of the country. It seems certain now that he will be one of the men seriously considered when the delegates get here. General Bragg is still a favorite In some States, and General Palmer, of Illinois, Is looked upon by others as the most available man. Several Democrats known throughout the nation are now working on the platform. The money plank will be written by Secretary Carlisle. It is no longer a secret that there is constant communlcat‘on between the headquarters qf the new party and the leading men of the national administration at Washington. Most everybody In high place tinder the President has been heard from, and If the truth were known, it might be possible to sta'e that letters postmarked Gray Gables have keen received at headquarters. Certain it Is that the movement has the good wishes of nearly all the men who receive orders direct from the President. The preparations for the convention are being pushed. The Commercial ClubBoard of Trade committees, which have charge of most of the details, meet nearly every day. The finance committee held a meeting to-day, and it was announced that there will be no trouble about baling on hand all the money that wllk be needed. Every person called upon by the committee has responded promptly. The committee on the arrangement of the hall has cgmnleted all the preliminaries. The two telegraph companies, which will occupy the space under the stage, are putting in their instrument tables, and are wiring the hall. The'companies will be prepared to handle any amount of press matter from the hall, pnd with their main offices so near at handithey have no fears of not- being aj»le to handle all the business promptly. The work of extending the stage and putting in the press platform will begin next Monday, and the hall will be decorated about the middle of the week. Secretary Woollen, of the Commercial Club, has received applications for 125 press seats, and many of the large papers are yet to be heard from. Walter Kesuler, me sergeant-at-arms of the convention, was at State headquarters to-day talking over the convention plana with those with whom he will co-operate. He intends to make the arrangements as perfect as possible. The hotels are dally making engagements of rooms. It has been definitely decided that the headquarters of the national committee and the convention committees shall be at .he Grand Hotel, and the executive ccmmittee will meet there September 1. After the States have elected delegates, rhe hotels expect the engagements of quarters to come In rapidly. TCi NAME CONVENTION DELKGATF9. District Meetings To Be Held A arrast g(l—Nomination*. The State committee of the National Democratic party, which was In atsalon three hours yesterday afternoon, set in motion the machinery for the organization of the sound money Democrats of the State. Perrie A. Randall, the committeeman from the Twelfth district, reported that there are at least $.500 Democrats In tlse city of Ft. Wayne who will support the National Democratic ticket. It was decided that the wavering Democrats throughout the State shall be supplied with literature immediately. S. O. Pickens was elected chairman of the commit- *- tee and George W. McDonald, son of the late Senator McDonald, secretary. It was the sense of the meetjng that sound money candidates for Congress shall be nomljia(£d In the Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Eleventh districts. The question of putting a State ticket in the field wai.not determined, and will not be further considered until after the national conven-

tion.

Call For District Meetlnsr*. The following Is the call Issued for th«t district conventions* to elect delegates to the national convention: "To the Democrats of Indiana: "Since the time of Jefferson, Democrats have believed the success of the cardinal principles of the Democratic party assenttal to the pteservatlon of the republic upon, the fodiffiatlons established by the

fathers.

“We are to-day confronted by a crisis which involves the life of those principles and the honor and safety of the Govern-

ment. .

"There Is now no Democratic candidate for President upon a platform of Democratic -principles for which the believers in those principles can vote. Both the platform adopted and the candidate nominated thereon at the late Chicago convention reject the most vital tenets of the party and Instead thereof promulgate revolutionary heresies violative of sacred obligations and subversive of government and social order, and to emphasise the departure from the Democratic creed the platform In its essential features was adopted by, and the candidate, upon his own seeking, was nominated as the candidate of the Populist party at its Bt. Louis convention. "On the other hand, the Republican platform enunciates, and the candidate thereon stands for, certain principles absolutely at variance with the Democratic faith. “In this supreme crisis representatives distinguished for their devotion and service to the party, duly chosen by the true Democracy of thirty-five the States, after wise counsel and mature deliberation, moved by the profoundest and broadest spirit of patriotism,. have appealed to the Democrats of the nation to save the party by reasserting its principles, and to that end have Issued a call for a national Democratic convention to be held In the city of Indianapolis on the 2d day of September, 1896. to adopt a platform and nominate candidates for President and Vice President representative cf th* true principles of the Democratic party, and requested that each State select delegates to that convention.
