SALT LAKE, May 19.-Thomas G. Mer-
rill. Edward q. Light and Governor
Bradford Prince, the committee ap-
pointed on Saturday by the Executive
Committee of the National Bimetallic
Union to prepare instructions for the
organization of State, district, city and
town unions throughout the country,
have issued the following address on the
subject, and earnestly request the news
papers of the country to publish the
same:
"I0 the People Of the United States: 1t
is q matter of vital importance i'll carry
ing out the plan of action adopted by the
meeting of the National Bimetallic
Union that IN districts, towns, cities aud
States the organization of bimetallIc
unions be attended TO al once. Tho OBJ
ject of these unions is for thorough or
ganiZation in the interest of education of
the voters of the land OH the vital ques-
tIon, which is the burning question be-
fore the American people to-day. The
only hope for the struggle for the full
restoration of silver to its place as money
al a ratio of 10 To | by the United States
is in such an education of the people as
will cause ma jority OF the voters of our
country i'll November, 1896, to vote for
independent bimetailisn, regardless OF
party lines.
1.-The formation Of these unions may be
entered upon at once, and we suggest
that each union adopt the name of the
district, town or State in which they are
organized, and that the Secretary of each
union address letter 10 l.. Il. Light,
Secretary of the National Bimetallic
Union. Denver. who will forward a form
of constitution and bylaws recon-
mended by the national organization. AS
soon as the local reorganiZations are COM
pieted they shall appoint committee OF
their most earnest workers for the pur-
pose OF circulating subscription paper
throughout their entire communities.
We would further recommend that the
subscription be made in monthly pay
menls, which shall continue until No
vember, 1886.
'Further recommendations Will be
made by the Secretary at the time the
constitution and Sy-laws are forwarded.
The money SO raised is required for tlfe
purchase and circulation of bimetallic
literature, furnishing honest and un-
answerable arguments for full and inde-
pendent bimelallism, believing that this
is the only way to restore permanent
prosperity to our beloved land.
This Is struggle between the money
power and patriotism, and in order TO
win our cause, as we have the money
interests to oppose us, which are all pow
erfui, 1t is absolutely necessary that
every patriotic citizen shall at once en-
list in this fight and render us as great
assistance as III his power until this bat
tie is won. EDWARD =. LIGHT,
Secretary National Bimetallic Union"
STATE SILVER LEAGUE.
SAN FRANCISCO, May l9.-Alva Udell,
the Secretary of the State Silver League,
has removed his headquarters from Los
Angeles 10 this city, and intends to wage
the most aggressive kind OF warfare
against the adherents of the gold
standard. Incidentally he will endeavor
TO emphasize the opposition of the league
to General a. j. Warner, the Chairman
of the Executive Committee Of the
American Bimetallic Party.
"A few days ago dispatch crticising
Udell was sen. from Coliax, Wash, in
which General Warner called Udell q
crank and an ''anarchist." The dis
patch also states that Udell had threatened
TO denounce General Warner and the
Sibley movement generally. In reply
Udell states: II made no such threat. 1
simply told Warner what our probable
December last, and Warner put up
scheme to capture the movement by
holding q self-constituted caucus in Feb
ruary, and has declared himself dictator
by what right we cannot discover. We
hold his letter. dated the 9th OF April,
asking us to recognize his committee as
the head of the movement, and request
ing our committee to act as the State
Executive Committee for California. We
protested against his forcing MIR. Sibley
upon US, aud forthwith he tried by insane
and contemptible methods to destroy us
and build up movement OF his own.
'By resolution sprung at meeting in
San Francisco, he asked Governor Budd
to disorganize the Democratic party that
honored Budd with tho Governorship
in vain effort to get the Governor COM
mitted to the Sibley movement. Failing
to so gain his point, he denounces us as
cranks and anarchists. as every gold bug
cuckoo and corporation hireling names
every person who criticises dishonest
methods. Our report and resolution
speak for themselves, and brand his
epithets as tissue OF talsehoods. We
deal with principles and not with men.
We speak we'll of Mr.. Sibley. but Warner
is beneath our official notice. When he
resorts to personal abuse of mon whose
cooperation he has solicited, he brands
himself as failure in the conduct Of the
national campaign. No man is safe who
