ROTHSCHILDS' ALLIES
THEY MEET AT DALLAS IN SOL
EMN CONCLAVE.
After the Most Elaborate Exchange of
of Views, They Finally Agree Upon n
Forces and Adj dJourn.

recently that was named at Waco,
the following transpired;
Mr.. Paddock said: 1.-The great
trouble is to find somebody to say
what Democratic principles are.
Judge Alexander knows them, but
Dick Wynne and Jim Swayne do not
know a cussed thing about them
Col. w. W. Lang said he saw no
objection in the plan OF organ
ization, but he apprehended that il it
was exetended too far the vantage
ground of the state and national plat
forms declaring for sound currency
might be lost. He said: ''Go to
work and organize complete machin-
cry and you may be looked upon as Il
new party. You would be told that
you were going to organize outside OF
the party already organized. Would
it not be better to organize clubs
based on sound money and try to cap
ture the Democratic party? 1t is i'm
portant that there should be a reor-
ganization of the Democratic party all
along the line, as the party is going
away from Democratic principles. A
move OF agrarianism is passing
over the country seizing all
portions of our population and
the official families are catching
onto it. This agrarianism exist
in foreign countries, but they have
strong arm to deal with it. | think
it is due in this country to the de-
parture from Democratic principles
through such institutions as the pro-
tective tariff, which has given rise to
expected privileges in every direction.
"A privilege cannot be granted one
man without depressing others.
There should be an organization of
the Democrat on these questions,
but at present | think the canvass
shoulp be made on sound money. Ii
we cannot carry that principle at the
next election my advice would be to
pick our flints and start again. We
should strive for government that
would take its hands off the people
and leave the race 10 life free to all"
Judge George Clark said: What
right have We to assume TO work in
conjunction with the present Demo-
cratic organization? 1t would put US
in the attitude OF being repudiated.
There is an implication on the pres
ent organization that they will resent.
As Democrats we have the right to
organize within the party. A hun
dred. "a thousand, ten thousand Dem
ocrats may organize, provided they
keep within the proper party limita-
tious, but we ought not to assume
here that We will work with any
body. We act for ourselves, feeling
that We are in perfect harmony with
the party for the purpose of keeping
alive the true principles OF party
faith
Judge W. l.. Crawford said: 1.-The
expression. sound money Democrats
is as we'll understood as due process
OF law 1t means the single gold
standard. Cleveland's idea of sound
money. The issue in this matter has
been rendered by Rocky mountain
silver men who were silver Democrats
and by men in the south who were in
the Democratic party These men
are now, as they confessedly have
been, in open revolt against the DEM
ocratic party. As result there has
not been l6 to / convention called
in Texas or anywhere else that has
not thrown open its doors to Popu-
lists, Repu blicans communists and ev-
cry other faction that aims to ruin the
country. We stand in line with the
Democratic conventions of Texas on
every occasion, except the Houston
convention, when over 100. 900 Demo-
Gratis bolted because that convention
i'm its money plank was in opposition
to the national platform. There is no
reason why we should rot organize
on sound currency. We have Or
ganized on it in Dallas without
and we see no cause to ap-
prehend defeat or disaster. The
SCUM money sentiment of this state.
If drawn in the party, would not be
in danger; there will be no danger,
except by an unholy alliance with
Populists and niggers. Whenever 16
to becomes the declaration of the
Democratic party l am against
it and will not vote with it because /
think it will mean the desolation OF
my country greater desolation
than than that OF 1887. In grave
matters like this think for myself
and vote for my country, as Wash |
Jones says. think we ought to go |
no further than organize democratic
clubs. think if the 100000 Demo-
Gratis who bolted the convention at
Houston would give out to ofiicc-hold-
ers that they would not vote for them
on platform of l6 20 / Office holders |
would revamp their pla;sorm.
Billy, dear the ..Populists aud mig |
gers" will take care OF themselves.
The following amended report was
by the executive committee:
/. That Judge Rufus Hardy OF Cor
sicana be selected as permanent
chairman OF the committee, with |
power to appoint secretary. subject |
