The New Party.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The meeting of the members of the American Bimctallic league, which has been in progress here during the last two weeks, will very soon issue an address to the American people asking their support for a new party hay. ing for the principal blanks of its plat. form the free and unlimited coinage of sill yer at the ratio of 16 to 1 and demand that tho money of the country shall be is. sued by the government itself.
 Tho address will inaugurato a new fea- ture in American politics by doing away with the old system of nominating con- ventions. but will call upon the people themselves to nominate candidates for the office of president and vice president of the United States by petition. It is ar gued that delegates to nominating conven- tions do not always represent tho views and wishes of the people sending them, and 1t has therefore been decided that the people themselves in their own names shall for once name their candidates. The address will also place in nomination Jo- seph c. Bibley of Franklin, Pa. whose term as representative in congress from the Twenty-sixth district expired yester- day
