The Name Chosen by the Democratic Gold Standard Men. THEY WILL NOMINATE A TICKET And Ask for Votes on a Platform opposed to That Adopted by the Party Conven tion in Chicago The Convention to be Held In Indianapolis, Sept. 2. IKDIAXAI'OLIS, Aim. H. The mime of tho now ixirty Is tho National Democratic uirty. Its organizers cull those support ing tho Chicago platform and ticket tho Populist Democratic party. Tho national convention of tho National Democratic party will ho hold nt Indianapollsltho first week In Soptcmlior. There was unanim ity In tho conference on tho selection of tho nanio of tho National Democratic party and also in determining to distin guish tho two parties ly referring to those supporting tho Chicago platform ns tho l'opulist Democratic party. I hero was a conferonco beforo tho pro visional national committee met, at which It was decided t) call a convention and nominate another national ticket. Porno of tho eastern and southern monikers op posed a third ticket at first, hut when they wero told that In tho middle state party fealty was so regarded that many Democrats would not voto unless thero was n third ticket, then all objections from tho cast and south wero withdrawn and tho decision to hold a convention was unanimous. It was argued that as tho campaign proceeded, and tho Ilepubllonns lcgan to say Imrsh things of Democrats, many of tho latter would vote for Ilryan and Sowall, distasteful as tho Chicago platform was to them. As tho eastern and southern gold stmul- nrd moil said they were for anything to defeat the Chicago ticket and platform they readily consented to tho plan that NATIONAL CHAIHMAX FALilEK. had been outlined by the oxecutlvo com mittee, consisting of Hragg of Wisconsin, Dynum of Indiana, Iloldeman of Ken tucky, Hrondhend of .Missouri and Rob bins of Illinois. Henry S. Itobbins, of Chicago, was tho only absent member of tho oxecutlvo committee-, hut Mr. Ewing took his place, while Senator Palmer, ex Mayor Hopkins and others wero nctivo in having tho plan for a third ticket carried out. Charles Traccy of Albany, N.Y., Georgo Foster Peakody of Hrooklyn, John E. Solnmos of Baltimore, and other eastern men did not sharo in tho opposition to a third ticket. Tho strongest opposition to a third ticket came from Ithodo Island and Texas tho smallest and largest stato. They woro glvon tho fullost consideration becauso of tho desire for unanimous ac tion, which was finally secured. Tho telegram from President Cleveland was regarded by alias Indicating his sym pathy with tho movement. Every mention of tho president's nanio was loudly cheered. His portrait was tho center piece In the as sembly room. Ex-Congressman Outh walte, who mado tho motion for a conven tion to nominate candidates for president and vlco president, holds a prominent ap pointment under President Cleveland. General Hragg, ox-Congrossman Dynum iind all tho leaders aro considered strong administration mon. Tho largest visiting delegations, ontsido of Indiana, camo from Kentucky, Ohio nnd Illinois. Among tho Kentucky delcgntcs woro ox Governor Buckner, ox-State Chairman Charles It. Long, Sonator A. J. Carroll, ex-Chief Justice Thomas II. Hinosand Vv. W. Knott, odltor of tho Loulsvlllo Post. They accompanied Mr. Haldeman, who is a member of tho oxocutlvo committee, nnd It. T. Tyler, who Is n member of tho na tional committee from Kentucky. Thoy favor Carlislo for president, and In tho event ho is not nominated thoy want Gen eral Buckner for vlco president. Tho Illinois and Ohio delegates did not isk for anything, hut thero was a gonoral drift for Senator Palmer for president. Tho Kentucky dologatlon also nskod for tho convention nt Loulsvlllo, but Indian ipolls showed a guaranteed fund of ?10 W for nil oxponsos, nnd tho guarnnteo In this enso was mndo to a liody of vory sul stautlal men, who duly appreciated tho best bid, Thero was objection from all to holding tho convention In any city in which 11 national convention had keen hold this year. Tho commlttcomon said: "Wo will go lioforo tho peoplo on tho dif ference ketweon tho Indianapolis platform and ticket and tho platform nnd tickets that bear tho brands of other cities." ! Senator John M. Palmer was glvon nn ovation whon ho reuchod tho hall nt tho night session. It was announced nt tho afternoon stission that Gonoral Bragg was delayed by a washout on tho Pennsylvania. At tho night session tho announcement was mudo that ho could not get hero. Gen eral Charlo Tracoy stated that thoy had taken moasuros to porpetuato tho greatest of all parties and needed tho foremost of lenders. Ho nominated General John M, I'alnior, of Illinois, for chairman of tho national committee, and General Palmer was selected unanimously. John 11. Wil son, of Indiana, was. elected socrotatr, and lPyt John P Kolenzcl. ot Indiana, was 010, ,o. treo surer. Hon. Joseph H. Outhwalto. of Ohio, chairman of tho committee on rail for the national convention, presented that docu ment, which Is addressed to the Demo crats of the United State, and is in sub stance as follows; "The Democratic party, during, Its whole history, has leon plodged to promote the liberty of the Individual, the security of private rights and property and the su premacy of tho law. It has always in sisted upon a safe anil stable monoy for tho people's use. It has Insisted upon the maintenance of the financial honor of the nation, as well as upon the preservation Inviolate of the Instltutlonscstuhlishod by tho constitution. These, Its principles, were abandoned by tho supposed repre sentatives of tho party nt a national con vention recently nscmblcd at Chicago. "The Democratic party will therefore raiso to exist unless It lx preserved by tho voluntary action of such of Its members as will adhere to tho fundamental prin ciples. No majority of tho momliers of that convention, houtivor large, had any right or power to surrender thoso prin ciples. When they undertook to do so that assemblage ceased to lie a Democratic convention. Tho action taken, tho Irregu lar proceedings and the platform enunci ated by tluit body were, andaro, so utterly and Indefensibly revolutionary, and con stitute such radical departures from tho principles of true Democracy, which should churiicterlro a sound and patriotic admin istration of our country's affairs that Its results are not entitled to tho eonmlonco or support of truo Democrats. "For tho llixt time since national parties wero formed thero Is not beforo tho Amer ican people a platform declaring the prin ciples of tho Democratic party as recog nized nnd most courageously and consis tently administered bv Jcllerson. Jackson and Cleveland, nor are there nominees for tho olllcos of president and vice-president of tho United Suites pledged to carry those principles Into practical effect. The fultli- lui and truo Democrats of the I'nltocl States are determined that their principles shall not Ik) ruthlessly sundered, nor the pcoploibu deprived of an opportunity to voto for candidates in accord therewith. "Therefore tho National Democratic party of tho United States hereby calls a national convention of that party for tho announconiont of its platform and nomi nation of candidates for tho ollices of pres ident and vico president of the United States, to bo held at Indianapolis on Tues day, Sept. 2, lbllfl, at 12 o'clock noon, and hereby request that members of tho party In tho several states who believo in sound money and tho preservation of law and order, nnd who are unalterably opposed to tho platform adopted and tho candidate nominntedat Chicago, will elect a number of delegates to the samo equal to twlco tho numliAeof electoral votes to which such statos aro respectively entitled." The President's Telegram. New Yoiik, Aug. 8. In answer to an inquiry about tho truth of a report pub lished in this city that President Cleve land hud mado known his disapproval of tho proposed third ticket, tho president telegraphs as follows from Buzzard's Hay : "It is absolutely untrue that 1 have given any advice touching tho courso of tho In dianapolis conference."

Several Hundred Men Thrown Out of Work on Account of the Logan's Destruction-Rebuilding Will Require al Least Six Months Time. Two large breakers havo been destroyed by Are, ono near Hazlctoti and tho other at Ccutralia. The distraction of the latter entails the greatest loss, as several hundred men and boys aro thrown ot of work. Tho other breaker Wjis an old and alKtndmicd ono, still it was worth considerable with tho machinery it contained. The Ha.lctou bleaker was tho Stockton No. 2, until recently operated by Lindcrmiin & Skecr. It was about twenty years old. and being thoroughly saturated with oil burned very rapidly. The bleaker and boiler house were entirely destroyed mid tho loss is about $25,0110. Tho tlio broke out at 11:30 last night. Tho origin is a mystery. The Ineaker had been idle about two months and arrange ments were being made to sell its machinery, as the mine is worked out. Tho second lire occurred at I o'clock this morning in the Logan breaker, at Ccutralia. It started in tlio tip and tho llames spread over nearly half tho structure bcfoio tho colliery whistlo could bo blown. Tlio breaker was entirely destroyed and all its machinery is ruined. This breaker was erected about twenty years ago and had a capacity of 1,500 tons daily. Iletween 500 and 000 men and boys were employed at tho colliery and the cll'ecU of the Ino will be felt seriously by the peoplo of both Ccutralia and Ashland. The breaker was wortli about $(10,000 and it will require at least six months work to replace it. There has been considerable trouble be tween the men and tlio super n endent of tho collleiy and on that account reports spread that the tiro was of incendiary origin. Tho ollicials of the colliery refused to express any opinion to the newspapers to-day, but it was learned from another reliable source that the ollicials do not entertain any liulicftli.it the breaker was set on lire. It was also reported that tho operators of tho colliery contemplated electing a Ineaker at (iermantown, a place between Ccutralia and Ashland and tho lire was looked upon as a piece of good fortune, in one lespect, for tho latter place ; but it was learned positively this afternoon that the idea was abandoned and the new breaker will bo pluccdy on tho site of tho ono that has just been burned down. The operators find that tho (ierman town site would bo too inconvenient and make the operations too costly. Tho Logan colliery worked a three-quarter shift yester day. l'ersotml.
