"Coin league" and in pursuance of
such call, large crowd assembled at Nc
Cann's hall, and transacted the following
business:
A. B. Keith, secretary to Governor Rick
ards, was made temporary chairman, who
made an elegant and telling Xix in favor
of silver, and appealed in an earnest way
TO each and every one to stand by the BAN
ner of free coinage at n ratio of 16 to 1,
and showed to the satisfaction of all pres
ent, that the only way to overcome the in
fiuences being brought to bear by the adj
ministration, and the bankers of the
United States and England, was a COM
plete and perfect organization, and reach
the masses of the people in the eastern
states by publications of the plainest and
simplest sort, bearing upon the subject.
On permanent organization, A. NJ. Will
liams was elected president. Il. NJ. Jones
first vice president, William Burgess Sec
ond vice president, II. Hunter third vice
president, c. Z. Gable fourth vice presi-
dent, j. II. Forbes secretary and j. w. De
Camp treasurer.
II. NJ. Hill, II. NJ. Brooks and A. NJ.
Williams, having been appointed a COM
mittee on resolutions, reported the follow
ing, which was adopted:
Believing that the present disastrous condi-
ton OF all the business interests OF the United
states, except the loaning Of money, is due to
the striking down Of silver which compromised
n Q0n m ar of mol
redemption. and that the only way to bring
back prosperity to our people is the full restor-
alton of silver TO its place as money. as IL was
in 1873, by the United states. and without wait
ing tor the cooperation or permission OF any
other nation; and
Believing that the only way to accom- plish this
is by the education Of the voters of the United
States on the financial question by placing in
the hands OF each voter a plain, simple state
ment OF the facts and arguments against gold
recommendation that shall be easy to understand
and unanswerable, and believing that the most
insiduous enemy OF silver Is the man who claims
to be abimetallist, but who opposes, and in
duces others TO oppose, the only means by which
true bimetallism can be accomplished.
Now, therefore, we, the Undersigned do
pledge ourselves TO use our most earnest efforts
to secure legislation as soon as possible for the
full restoration OF silver TO its place as money
as it was at the time IL was demonetized by the
United States without regard to any other ma
ton, and without regard to party, and to assist
in the education OF the American people upon
the financial questions by placing In the hands
OF each voter, II possible, a copy OF "Coin's FL
nanciai School," or some work equally plain
simple and unanswerable. II was also resolved.
that inasmuch as the states OF Colorado Wyo-
ming and Utah have adopted woman suffrage
and will in tho coming elections cast their votes
for silver, that women be admitted to full mem
bership In Coin League No. OF the United
States" of Lump City.
After getting the signatures of 335 names
