Parke Goawin WAS the next speaker. He
believed, he said, when he cav toad in
putting his foot upon it without asking
whether it was Democratic or Republican.
That the whole political system of the
country was demoralized, was apparent to
all men.
Henry Randall Waite said: We have had
enough of the Mortone, the Conklings and
the PsDdletons of politics. We need men
like Charles Francis Adams. If We could
not have him, We hope to have b. II. Bris.
tow or Samuel j. Tilden.
SYDNEY Thomas, of Chicago, moved that
the conference recommend to the consider
alton of the country the name of Charles
Francis Adams. [Applause

resolution that the conference make no
presidential nomination, and the resolution
was unanimously adopted.
Mr.. Schurz moved that the conference
adjourn sine die, saying that he hoped all
would leave with the consciousness Of
having done something to make the national
election of 1876 not unworthy the memories
of the centennial year. The resolution was
passed.
The executive cummittee, consisting Of
Carl Schurz, Parke Goodwin. L. L Foster,
John w. Hoyt and Martin Bremmer, then
went into executive session.
The address of the political conference
| is mainly devoted to the ethics of politics
| The money feature reads: Our solemn and
often repeated pledge faithfully to dis
charge all national obligations must be full
| filed, not only by the payment of the prin
ciple and interest of our bonded debt when
due, but also by the removal not later than
the time provided by the existing law Of
| the curse of our redundant irredeemable
paper currency, which not only impedee
| the return of true prosperity, but has
largely contributed to the existing democrat
| izati0n.
The following resolution was then
! adopted, offered by Mr.. Schurz:
ResOlced, That an executive committee
be appointed by the chair, consisting of the
present business committee, with power to
| add to their number at least one from each
State in the Union, as far as practicable
| and that the committee be directed to use
| all proper means to carry out the purposes
indicated In the address to-day adopted
