With view to securing the adhe-
renee to re-adoption Of the Demo
cratic financial policy above set forth
by the Democratic national convention
to be assembled in 1896, and of the
nomination of a candidate for the presl-
dency, well known to be in hearty
sympathy Herewith, wehereby pledge
our mutual cooperation, urgently re-
commencing to Democratic brethren
in all states to act; to begin vigorous
~ and Systematically to prosecute the
work of a thorough organization; and
to this end the adoption of the plan of
organization of here with submitted is
recommended.
The plan of organization recon.
nanded by the committee was then
outlined to the conference as follows:
Believing that large majority of
the Democratic voters of the United
States are in harmony with the sentl-
ments expressed in the foregoing adj
dress, and knowing that a full and
free expression of their views can on
ly be ascertained and made effective
through proper organized efforts, we
recommend the following as plan of
organization
First. There shall be national com
mittee Of Democrats who are in favor
of both gold and silver as the money
of the Constitution, which shall be
composed Of one Democrat from each
State and the executive committee
hereinafter provided for.
Second. That until otherwise or
dered by the national committee, Sen.
ators Harris, of Tennessee; Jones, of
Arkansas; Turpie, Of Indiana, and
Hons. w. J. Stone, of Missouri, and
w. II. Hinrichsen, of Illinois, be and
are hereby constituted the executive
committee, and shall have full power
and authority and it shall be theirduty
at as early day as possibly, to ap,,
point the members Of the national
committee herein provided for, and to
fill vacancies in the same.
Third That said national commit
tee shall have full control
and direction of the patrio-
tic. efforts of the bimetallic De-
mocrats Of the nation to secure IN the
next Democratic convention the main
tenance of time-honored principales
and politics of the Democratic party,
and when the national committee
shall have the authority and discharge
all the duties hereby conferred upon
the national committee
Fourth. 1t shall be the duty of the
member of the national committee
men from each State immediately
after his appointment to take such
steps as he may deem best to organize
the bimetallic forces Of his State, and
it is earnestly recommended that IN.
each county and election precinct OF
each State bimetallic Democratic clubs
be orginized, and for the purpose
he may appoint such committees and
canvassers as he may deem best.
Fifth. That fully realizing the fact
that either this nor any other plan OF
orgaization can be successful without
hearty cooperation of the voters them
selves, we urge upon evey voter IN
every State in the Union, who is in
sympathy with this movement, and
who wishes to restore permanent pros
perity to his home and country, to per
fecting this organization, and that each
of them shall enroll himself in such
club.
By unanious vote approval was
given to the plan prosed, and the con-
ference then. at As, on motion Of
Senator Harris, adjourned sine die.
After adjournment of the conference
the executive committee provided for
in the plan of organization held a two
hours session, at which means of OBJ
tanning an efficient National commit
tee were fully decided to divide the
country into sections and to give every
member of the executive committee a
section in which to correspond with
a view of getting the best men to ad-
vance the cause outlined by the con-
vention. 1t was found necessary to
take this step, as all the States were
not represented at the conference and
the delegates Of many Of those repre-
sented did not wish to name men for
the National convention befor consult
ing their friends at home.
The executive committee. before sep
arating, named following members OF
the National committee: Ex-senator
Walsh, of Augusta, Ga, J. H. Dennis
of Reno, Nevada, G. S., Thomas, of
Colorado, G.. Ainslee, of Idaho, j:
H. Head, of Nashville, Tennessee and
G. Armstrong, of Arkansas:
The committee adjourned to meet
again at the call Of its chairman, Sen
ator Harris, of Tennessee.
