The Convention Culled to Meet nt Indian apolis, I ikI., on .September 2 (ion. Palmer Cliulriiiiiii of tho N'u tlomil Committee. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 8. Tl:o nnrne of tho now party is the nntlonul democratic party. Its organizers call those supporting tho Chicago platform nnd ticket tho populist democratic party. The national convention of tho national democratic party will be held tit Indianapolis tho first week in Sep tember. There was unanimity in the conference on the selection of the name of the national democratic party, and also in determining to distinguish tho two parties by referring to those sup porting the Chicago platform as tho populist democratic party. There was ii conference before tho provisional na tional committee met, at 'which it was decided to call a convention and nominate another national ticket. The telegram from President Clove land was regarded by all as indicating liis sympathy with tho movement. Every mention of the president's name Avas loudly cheered. Gen. John M. Palmer, of Illinois, was unanimously chosen chairman of the national committee. John It. Wilson, of Indiana, was elected secretary. John P. F. Frcnzcl, of Indiana, was elected treasurer. Hon. Joseph II. mm BBNATOIt JOHN Jr. 1'ALMBH, Outhwnlte, of Ohio, ns chairman of the committee on a call for the national convention and plan of organization, reported tho following, which was re peatedly interrupted by applause in its reading, and adopted unanimously: To tho democrats of tho United States: A political party has ulwuys boen dcllne.il to bo an association of voters to promote tho suc cess of political prlnclplo hold In common. Tho democratic party, during i's whole his tory, has been pledged to promoto tho liberty of tho Individual, tho security of private rights and property, and, ho supremacy of tho law. It has always Insisted upon a safe and stable money for tho people's use Ithnu insisted up on the maintenance of tho financial houor of the nation, as well as upon tho preservation inviolate of tho instltutions'establlshcd by tho constitution. These, Its principles, were aban doned by tho supposed representatives of tho party at a national convention recently as sembled at Chicago. The democratic party will, therefore, ccaso to exist unless it bo preserved by tho vol untary action of Mich of Its members ns still udherc to the fundamental principles. No ma jority of tho members of that convention, how ever large, had any right or power to surronder thoso principles. When they undertook to do so, that assemblage ceased to be a democratic convention. Tho action taken, the irregular proceedings and tho platform enunciated by that bodv were and are utterly and indefensi bly revolutionary and constitute such radical Uopartures from tho principles of true democ racy, which should characterize a sound nnd patrlotio administration of our country's af fairs. that Its results are not entitled to tho con lldenco or support of truo democrats. For tho first time slnco national parties were formed, there is not before tho American pco plo n platform declaring tho principles of tho democratic party, as recognized und most courageously and consistently administered by Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland, nor aro there nominees for the ofllccs of president and vlco president of the United States pledged to carry thoso principles Into practical effect. The faithful and truo democrats of tho United States aro determined that their prluc pics shall not be ruthlessly surrendorod, nor the people be de prived of an opportunity to vote for candidates In accord therewith. Therefore, tho national democratic patty of tho United States, through its rcgulnrly con stituted committee hereby calls a national convention of thai party, for tho announce ment of Its platform and tho nomination of candidates for president aiid vlco prosldotit of tho United Status, and tho transaction of such business as Is incidental thereto, to bo held at Indianapolis on Wednesday, tho I'd day of September, I81KJ, at 13 o'clock noon, and hereby request that tho members of tho parly In iho several states who bollovo In sound money and tho preservation of law and order and who aro unaltcr.iblv opposed to tho platform adopted and candidates nomi nated at Chicago, will hclect, In such manner ns to them shall &COUI best, a number of dole (,'ntes to the same, cnual to twice tho number of electoral votes to which such suites aro respectively entitled. Such delegatus shall bo duly accredited, according to the usages of tho domocratlo party. Their credentials shall bo forwarded or delivered to tho secret try of this committee with all convenient speed, mid tuK committee will make up and announce tho roll of tho delegates entitled to participate in the preliminary organization of tho couuutlon.
