Third Party Convention Opens With Addresses in Indianapolis
The independents meet in Indianapolis on August 15 with no formal action, appointing a three member committee to confer with anti imperialists as speculation grows that a third ticket may emerge. Delegates show strong anti McKinley and anti Bryan sentiment, while unity with anti imperialists remains unlikely. A telegram from Raleigh denies support for Stevenson and confirms populist alignment. the Populist notification to Bryan for the presidential nomination is planned for August 23 on the east steps of the gratehouse late Thursday afternoon.
