ADDRESS TO ONO DEMOCRATS.
Silver Leaders Advise the People as to
Electing Legislators

Columbus, o. Oct. THE Silver Dem
ocratic state central committee, of
which Senator Washburn is chairman
and w. w. Durbin secretary, tonight
issued an address to the Democrats of
Ohio, urging concentrated action look
ing TO the control Of the next national
Democratic convention. The address
concludes as follows:
1.-THE functions of the United States
are distinct and separate from those Of
the states. NJ alters of tariff, taxation
and coinage are functions of the Unit
ed States with which the states have
nothing directly TO do. The support of
every Democrat is due to the state
ticket. But the members of the legis-
lature who are TO be chosen and who
elect member of the United States
senate who win have to vote directly
upon the monetary question, and at
very critical stage of il, would be I'M
compromisingly pledged, if they are
elected as members of the general as
sembly, to vote: First, in favor of an
open party caucus; second, against a
secret ballot in caucus, and. third.
against the selection of any man who
is not in favor of the free and unlimited
coinage of Both gold and silver into full
legal tender money by the United
States alone without regard to the ac-
ton of any other country To this end
we ask your cordial cooperation and
assistance"
