NATIONAL DEMOCRACY. NAME OF THE NEW GOLD DEMO I CRATIC PARTY. i — WILL PUT UP A TICKEC. The I.fallen, of tho Movement MeetAi Indianapolis and Organlss—tjenera^ Palmar of Illinois Proralnently Mentioned as Their Candi date for President—Con l vsntlou September > | Ilf T> IA n A roi.is, Ind., Aug I 0.—The • provisional national committee of those Democrats who do not Indorse the recent Chicago platform, met here yesterday and decided to call a na tional convention to place a third ticket in the field. The movement was given the name of the Nationitf Democratic party. Its organIzers call j those supporting the Chicago plat M__I i lLa V*.It..A I 1_ I emtio party. The uatlonai convention of the new party will be held at Indianapolis the first week in Hep (ember. Some of the Rustem and Southern members opposed a third ticket at 1 first, but when they were told that in the Middle States party fealty was so regarded that many Denrocrats would not vote unless there was a third ticket, then all objections from the Hast and South were withdrawn and . the decision to hold a convention was unanimous. The strongest opposition to a third ticket came from Rhode Island and Texas—the smallest and the largest ! State. They were given the fullest | consideration because of the desire for I uuanimous action, which was finally , secured. | The Illinois and Ohio delegation did I not ask for anything, but there was a federal drift for Senator Palmer for ’resident. The Kentucky delegation | also asked for the convention at l<ouis ville, but Indianapolis showed a guar anteed fund of 8ln,000 for ail expenses, and the guarantee in this case was made to u body of very substantial men, who duly appreciated the best bid. There were objections from all to holding the convention in any city In which a national convention hud been held this year. The committee men said: “We will go before the people on the difference between the Indianapolis platform and ticket, and the platform and ticket that bear the brands of other cities.” General John M. Palmer of Illinois was unanimously chosen chairman of the national committee. John K. Wilton of Indiana was elected secre tary. John P. F. Frenzel of Indiana was elected treasurer. Hon. Joseph, H. Outh waite of Ohio as chairman of the committee on a call for the na tional convention and plan of organ ization, reported the following, which wae repeatedly interrupted by ap plause in ite reading, and adopted unanimously: Ths Address. “To the Democrats of the United ' States: “A political party has always been defined to be an association of voters j to promote the success of political principle held In common. The Dem ocratic party, during its whole his tory, has been pledged to promote the liberty of the individual, the security of private rights aud property, and the supremacy of the law. It has always insisted upon a sate and stable money for the people's use. It has insisted upon the mainteuauce of the financial honor of the nation, as well as upon tho preservation inviolate of the institutions established by the constitution. These, its principles, were abandoned by the supposed rep reMMi lative* of the party at a national convention recently assembled at Chi cago. “The Democratic party will, there fore, cease to exist unless it be pre aerved by the voluntary action of auch of ita members as still adhere to the fundamental principles. No majority of the members of that convention, however large, had any right or D»wer to surrender those principli-a When they undertook to do ao, that aasemblage ceased to be a Democrat ic convention.

Aug. l(l.—The Ilryan tour through the Bust was inaugur ated at • o'clock yesterday afternoon under decidedly favorable cotulit ona and auspices. It wns a day of torrid temperature, but long before time for the departure of the Ilryan party the Kock Island depot platform was crowded, and when the carriage con taining Mr and Mrs Ilryan. drove up, a round of cheers went up from over 1,000 throats. From that time on until the train pulled out. anxious people jostled cash other without compunction as they pressed around their honored fellow citizen, and eagerly grasped his hand aud clung to it long enough to breathe a fervent (iod-speeed for himself and his mis sion. In response to continued and per sistant calls for a speech, Mr. Ilryan said: "l.udles and (letulemen:—In ordi nary limes I would have desired to have the notification take place at my home. Hut this Is not an ordinary campaign and i felt that the cause should arise above any personal de sires we might have and therefore ex pressed the desire to be notified in New York, in order that our cause might he presented first In the heart of what now seeiua to be the enemy’s country, but which we hope to be our country before this campaign la over."

At tlie latter ■dace, the women were in tlie major ity, and as they expressed a desire to meet Mrs. Bryan, tne latter also came upon the platform und held a recep tion.

DUNS REVIEW OF TRADE Monetary <*oti«litlone Disturbed by the Moore If rot ' Failure. New Youk. Aug. 10. —It. G. Duo & Ca’s Weekly Review of Trade says: “The sensational collapse of specu lators at Chicago who controlled Dia mond Mutch and New York Biscuit stocks and had hoisted them to fancy prices, with the subsequent closing of the Chicago Stock Exchange for a period indefinite, though followed by remarkably few failures, brings a sudden change in monetary condi tions throughout the country. At least a month earlier thun had been expected Chicago has drawn heavily upon Illinois hank balances here, and withdrawals of other Western funds may naturally result. Europe was also moved to sell American stocks rather freely, so that the average of sixty most active railroad stocks fell about 92. ib per share, and the average of trust stocks about 91.9a. The in stant co-operation of money interests at Chicago to restrict disturbances de served praise and did much good, bat it is not possible to avoid some shock to public confidence, and a quick tightening of Eastern money markets which already shuts off commercial paper almost entirely. The collapse also increased the caution of bankers and other leaders regarding loans in securities of a similar character. Thar* May lie a Lynching.

The members of the democratic steer ing committee, who were In attend ance at the populist convention were much incensed at tha manner in which their overtures were received. After two days of hard work they accomplished nothing, and the action of C. J. Smyth in withdrawing their request for representation ia taken to signify that fusion will not fuse in Nebraska this year. Mr. Smyth was unwilling to say what thopoliev of his party would 'be; whether ft would put up a ticket of its own was a matter to be decided later. He would consult with Ills colleagues on the state central committee, and their pol icjf would be determined on hy the time their state convention met. Others of the committee did not hesi tate to emphatically denounce the action of the populists and to declare that under no circumstances would they vote to endorse the populist ticket. In the discussion that took place regarding division of offices, Sen ator Ktewart wanted to know why the silver democrats were more entitled to representation than the silver republi cans. Harrington of Holt county moved as a substitute that two places on the ticket be left to be filled by democrats and one to be filled ivy free silver republicans. There was a long debate on the question It was a con tinuation of the same arguments heard alt through the convention and waa marked by frequent confusion.
