PLAN OF ORGANIZATIONS:
Believing large majority OF the Dem
ocratic voters of the United States are in
harmony with the sentiments expressed
by this conference and knowing a
full and free expression of their views
can only be ascertained and made effect
i've through properly organized efforts, we
recommend the following as plan for
such organizations:
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 terri
tory and the District of Columbia, and
an executive committee hereinafter pro-
vided for.
Second-That until otherwise ordered
by the national committee, Senator Isham
G. Harris, of Tennessee, James R. Jones,
of Arkansas, and David Turpie, of In
diana, and Hons. WI. Stone, of Missouri,
W. II. Hinrichsen, of Illinois, and Casey
Young, of Tennessee, be, and they are
hereby constituted an executive COM
mittee and shall have full power and
authority, and it shall be their duty at as
early a day as possible to appoint mem-
bers of the national committee herein
provided for and to fill vacancies in
same.
Third--That said national committee
shall have full control and direction Of
the patriotic efforts of the bimetalllc
Democracy of the nation to secure in the
soko
of the time-honored principles and poll
cies of the Democratic party, and when
the national committee herein provided
for is not in session the legislative COM
mittee shall have authority and discharge
all duties hereby conferred upon the ma
tional committee.
Fourth-It shall be the duty of the
member of the national committee from
each state Immediately after his appoint
ment to take such steps as he may deem
best to organize the bimetallic forces of
his state, and it is earnestly recommend
ed that in each county and election pre-
cinct in each state bimetallic clubs be or
ganized, and for this purpose he may ap-
point such committees and canvassers as
he may deem best.
Fifth-That fully realizing the fact
that neither this nor any other plan of
organization can be successful without the
hearty cooperation of the voters them
selves, we urge every voter in every
state in the Union who is in sympathy with
this movement and who wishes to restore
permanent prosperity to his home and
country, to lend his aid and influence in
perfecting this organization and to that
end he shall enroll himself in some
club.
PERMANENT ORGANIZATION NOT COMPLETED.
The executive committee, appointed
by the Democratic silver conference to
effect permanent organization, met at
the Metropolitan hotel to-day, and decid-
ed not to attempt to complete the ma
tional committee for the present. The
postponement was deemed necessary ow
ing to the fact that the committee had
received the names of the proper organi-
zation from only the states represented
at the conference. They consider it de-
should be had in the SELECTION of the
committee and adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman.
Col. Young said to-day that it was the
purpose of the executive committee to
complete the national organization as
soon as practicable. It is probable that
an adjourned meeting of the national
conference will soon be held in some
western city, and st. Louis has been scg-
gested as the place most convenient. It
is also expected that permanent head.
quarters will be chosen at this meeting.
Some members of the committee advo-
cate locating headquarters at Washington,
while others believe western city would
be preferable.
