ADDRESS TO SILVER DEMOCRATS

Conference Held at Memphis,

Issued by Committee Appointed by the
Conference Held at Memphis.
MEMPHIS, June 26.-Immediately af.
ter the adjournment Of the recent silver
convention in this city a number of
prominent Democrats who attended
that gathering met and plans were out
lined for an organization within the
Democratic party for the purpose Of
carrying on the campaign within party
lines. As a result of this meeting the
following address has been sent to Dem
Ocratic leaders throughout the country:
Soon after the adjournment of the silver
convention held in this city on the 18th
and 18th inst. many Democrats, represent
ing several states of the Union held a
meeting here for the purpose of consider
ing the best method Of securing the free
and unlimited coinage of both silver and
gold into full legal tender money Of ulti-
mate redemption at the ratio of 16 to 1,
without regard to the financial policy of
other countries, and it was unanimously
agreed as the opinion of the conference:
First-That the only hope of securing
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver at
Is to is through the action of the Demo.
cratic party.
Second-That large majority Of the
Democratic party of the country and
large majority of the people of the United
States, irrespective of party, favor such
coinage.
Third-That the success Of the Demo-
cratic party in the campaign of 1895
largely, if not wholly, depends on the
earnest and active advocacy of the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
FOUrth-That a thorough organization
Of the Democrats of the several states who
favor the free and unlimited coinage Of
both silver and gold on terms Of equality
at IS to I is a necessary, and proper means
Of controlling the action of the national
Democratic convention of 1895 upon this
vitality important question.
Fifth-That in order to avoid friction
and the complaint Of such Democrats rs
oppose the free coinage Of silver, we will
not invoke the action OF the regular
machinery of the party, whose duty it is
10 sCN LtA tA4o N4AtAC party N4lutAb regard
to differences Of opinion upon a single
question.
Therefore we, the undersigned, were aB-
pointed a committee to take such steps as
may be necessary to thorough national
organization of silver Democrats, ana for
that purpose we respectfully invite YOU TO
meet Us at Washington, D. C., on Aug. H.
1885, in order that we may confer and CO.
operate in establishing such organization.
and you are requested TO bring with you
such Democratic friends as are in run
sympathy with this purpose. Il is inn
portant that a Democrat acceptable to the
