Plan of Warfare for the
White Metal.

Plan of Warfare for the
White Metal.
The big Democratic guns have
assembled at Washington and map
ped out the plan of battle to be
fought in 1896.
The full report is too lengthy for
our paper and we print below the
plan of organization which is as fol-
lows
Believing that large majority
of the Democratic voters of the
United States are in harmony with
the sentiments expressed in the
foregoing address, and knowing
that a full and free expression of
their views can only be ascertained
and made effective through proper
ly organized efforts, we recommend
the following as plan for such
organizations;
First, there shall be a National
Committee Of Democrats who are in
favor of both silver and gold as the
money of the Constitution, which
shall be composed of one Democrat
from each state and territory and
the district of Columbia, and the
Executive Committee, hereinafter
provided for.
Second, that until otherwise or
dered by the National Committee,
Senators Isham G.. Harris, of Ten
nessee; James X. Jones, of Arkan-
sas, and David Turpie, of Indiana,
and Hons, w. j. Stone, of Missouri;
w, H. Heurichsen, of Illinois, and
Casey Young, of Tennessee, be, and
they are hereby constituted the
Executive Committee, and they
shall have full power and authority,
and it shall be their duty at as ear
ly a day as possible to appoint the
members Of the National Committe
herein provided for and to fill va
cancies in the same.
Third, that said National Com
mittee shall have full control and
direction of the patriotic efforts of
the binetallic Democracy of the
nation to secure in the next Nation
al Democratic Convention the main
tenance of these time honored prin-
ciples and policies of the Democrat
ic party, and when the National
Committee herein provided for is
not in session, the Executive Com
mittee shall have all the authority
and discharge OF all the duties here
by conferred upon the National
Committee.
Fourth, it shall be the duty OF
the member of the National Com
mittee from each state Immediately
after it's appointment to take such
steps as he may deem best to or
gani2e the bimetallic forces OF his
state, and 1t is earnestly recon-
mended that each county and cleo
tion precinct of each state bimetal-
lie democratic clubs be organized,
and for this purpose he may appoint
such committees and sub-commit-
tees and canvassers as he may deem
best
Fifth, that fully realizing the
fact that this nor any other plan
of organization can be successful
without the hearty cooperation of
the voters themselves, we urge
upon every voter in every state in
the Union who Is In sympathy with
this movement and who wishes to
restore permanent prosperity to his
home and country, to lend his aid
and influence to perlecting this
organization and that each Of them
shall enroll himself In some club,
The report of the committee was
adopted without opposition, and
after listening to few brief
speeches, the conference adjourned
sine die,
The executive committee held a
meeting Immediately after the
conference closed, but adjourned
without selecting members of the
National Committee as authorized
by the conference, II was an
nounced to be the purpose of the
committee to organize the National
Committee at the earliest practical
date but 1t was thought best to
defer action until suggestions could
be received from the states which
we're not represented at the con-
ference, The executive committee
will convene at the call Of the
