Memphis, Tenn, June 25.-When the sill
yer convention recently held in Memphis
ADJOURNED meeting OF prominent silver
democrats was held to formulate plans
Ior the organization of a national DEM
ocraJlc bimetallic league, the purpose Of
"hlch was declared to be so TO perfect the
organization Of the silver democrats
throughout the country as to place them
n control OF the county. state and nation
a. conventions in their expressions upon
the financial question. Senators Turpie
OF Indiana, Jones of Arkansas and Har-
rs OF Tennessee were the leaders in the
movement. II was decided to issue an ad-
uress 10 the silver democrats throughou,
the United States. asking their co-opera-
uoh IN the work. This letter has been
prepared and a copy follows:
Dear Sir-Soon after the Adjournment
OF the silver convention held in this city
OF the 18th and 18th instant. many demo-
Gratis representing several states of the
Union held a meeting here for the purpose
OF considering the best method of se,,lr-
ing the free and unlimited coinage OF
ooth silver and gold into full legal tender
money OF ultimate redemption, at the ra-
no OF 10 to l, without regard to the finan-
Cal pohcy OF other countries, and il was
unanimously agreed as the confident opin-
ion Of that conference:
1. mat the only hope Of securing the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16
TO is through the action of the Demo-
cratic party.
?. That large majority of the Demo-
cratic party Of the country, and a very
large majority of the people of the United
states, irrespective of party. favor such
coinage.
3. That the success of the Democratic
party in the campaign of 1886 largely, if
not wholly, depends upon the earnest and
active advocacy of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver
4. That thorough organization of the
democrats Of the several states, who ia
vor the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer and gold on an equality at Is to ! is a
necessary and proper means of controlling
the action of the national democratic con-
vention Of 1896 upon this vitally important
question.
5. That in order to avoid friction and the
complaint of such democrats as oppose
the free coinage of silver, we will not in
woke the action of the regular machinery
of the party, whose duty it is TO act for the
whole party, without regard TO differences
of opinion, upon a single question.
Therefore, we, the undersigned, were
appointed a committee to take such steps
as may be necessary to thorough nation
al organization of the silver democrats
and that for that purpose we respectfully
invite you to meet US at Washington, d.
c., on the 14th day of august. 1895, in
order that we may confer and cooperate
in establishing such organization, and
you are also requested to bring with you
such democratic friends. as are in full
sympathy with this purpose 1t is i'm
portant that some democrat acceptable
to the democracy of your state, and will
ing to represent it on national commit
tee should attend this conference.
