OMAHA, Neb., May 31.-There was a
conference of the Nebraska hard

state league was organized, with T. J.
Mahoney as president. The following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
AS democrats of Nebraska, believing that the
opening Of the minis Of our country to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio OF
IS to l would result in a deprecated currency,
loss of credit and the evils of silver monomet-
allism, and believing further that the adoption
by party of policy favoring such free and
unlimited coinage of silver would prove dis
astrous to its pros pects. and believing fur
Their that the principles of the democratic par
ty, as always. have been opposed to such
policy, we favor the organization of the Sound
Money Democratic league of Nebraska for the
purpose of circulating such literature as sets
forth the benefits of sound finance and for the
purpose of holding the democratic party of the
state to its traditional place as the outspoken
champion Of honest money and national in
tegrity
After providing for permanent organ
ization the meeting adjourned subject
to the call of the chairman.
