| and labor organizations.
Personally, the Conference is made up of
lawyers, editors, workingmen and farmers,
representing many different shades of politi-

uniting in endeayors to harmonic their re-
spective views and decide upon the time and
| place for a National Convention to elect
! Presidential candidates.

nent Chairman. He said it was meet that

1--WE come here for business" Every man
to his own trade.

one delegate from each of the States here

great numbers and had reference to all sorts
of subjects. Every side of the Greenback
position was defended, every proposition
looking to an initiation of the currency in
dorsed, and every hard money statute
condemned /; but the resolutions did
not deal with the financial question
alone. Many other subjects, including
capital and labor questions, socialism,
Mormonism, the eight hour law, and railroad
and other corporate monopolies, were repre-
sented therein, and their distinctive features
were attacked or defended.
The resolutions, after being read were all
referred to the Committee on Call for Con-
vention and Basis of Representation.
Many ladies and gentlemen were present
tonight by invitation. The audience was
very orderly, listened attentively, and APP
