Mr.. R. c. Chambers, president of the
National Bimetallic union, is in re-
ceipt of a communication from Gen
eral Warner, the president Of the
American Bimetallic league, inclosing
the following copy of a resolution of
the latter association, and suggesting
that the union should take similar ac-
ton. While Mr.. Chambers is not
authorized to speak for the union
which must act through its properly
constituted executive committee, yet
he says that such action as that con-
templated in the resolution is beyond
the scope of the organization. even if
it were deemed to be desirable, since
that organization is non-poltical in
Its objects and seeks only to promote
the growth of the silver sentiment
among people of all political faiths;
that it may be set down as certain
therefore that the Bimetallic union
will not accept the invitation to meet
the other organizations named for the
purpose of starting a new party.
The Resolution.
The resolution referred to, which was
unanimously adopted by the executive
committee of the American Bimetallic
league, is as follows:
