ORGANIZATION FOR SILVER.
National Committee of BimetaIIists

Actively at WOrk-Washin2t toms
Committeeman from Sem
atOr Jones.
The committee recently appointed
10y the meeting OF bimetallist DEM
ocrats at Washington, ID. c., is actively
engaged pushing the work of Organiza-
ton of the silver forces with view os
controlling the next National DEM
0cratic Convention.
In our own State the beginning was
made by the appointment OF Hon. c.
III. Warner, of Colfax, as member of
the National Central Committee for
the State of Washington. The latter
gentleman received letter few days
ago from Senator Jones, chairman,
which is self-explanatory, and reads as
follows:
IIopE, Ark, Sept. -, 1898.
Hon. &. III. Warner, ColfaX, Wash:
My Dear Sir-l am directed by the
tAtCutlNc W dtlNlSt NOu vi
your selection as the member of the ma
tional committee of hmetallist Demo
Gratis for your State, and to ask your
active cooperation in the work OF keep
ing the Democratic party on Democratic
ground. You will be expected, of course,
to organize your State in your way
Many OF our members are doing this by
selecting an active man as an ofganizer
in each county who will organize a cen
tral club, and then select others to assist
him in organizing the balance of the
county, he reporting his work TO you
from time to time. 1t is important that
this work OF organization be pushed as
rapidly as possible consistent with etli-
cheney.
Senator Harris thinks meeting of the
National committee very desirable il we
can have full attendance and have it
at an early day. Could you, if one
should be called, attend such meeting
at st. Louis, Mo-, about October 10Th to
18th?
Do you think your State can be relied
upon to send delegation of bimetallists
to the next National Democratic conven-
ton?
Please let me hear from you at once.
Yours very truly,
JAMES X. JONES.
Mr.. Warner has already taken the
preliminary steps looking to the or
ganization of the party in this State
as outlined above. He is now cores
ponding with the leading silver Dem
ocrats, and it is highly probable that a
meeting will be held in the near future
at which an Executive Committee will
be selected for the State, county or
ganizers appointed and other steps
taken that will insure the sending of a
solid silver delegation to the next Ma
tional convention. Although it will
take some time to get the movement
well on foot, il is nevertheless believed
that it will be possible to effect an Or
ganization in most every county that
will be instrumental in insuring the
success of the good cause.
