 ''The democratic party is the tradition al friend and champion of bimetallism- It's strength and power and popularity has been largely built up on it's stead- fast opposition to the demonstration or silver and it's record of unwearied effort to restore it to it's historic place as full money metal, equal with gold. The eff fort at this late day to make it par ex- cellence the champion of gold monomet- allism, the enemy of the policy 1t has upheld, and the defender of the crime 1t has denounced, is an effort to dishenor it's record, it's promises and its prlncl- pies. The moment the democratic party is forced into this position it heaps ob- loquy on it's own past and crowns it's great adversary with glory and honor.
 Duty to the people requests that the party of the people continue the battle for bimetallism until its efforts are crowned with success, therefore be it

 With a view of securing the adher- ence to a readoption of the democratic financial policy set above by the dem ocratic national convention to be assem- bed in 1896, and the nomination of can didate for the presidency well known to be in hearty sympathy herewith, We hereby pledge our mutual cooperation and urgently recommend 10 democratic brethren in all the states to act at once, begin and vigorously prosecute the work of a thorough organization, and to this end the adoption of plan of organlza- tion herewith submitted. is submitted
 The plan of reorganization recommend ed by the committee was then outlined to the conference as follows:
 "Believing that large majority of the democratic voters of the United States are in harmony with the senti- monts expressed in the foregoing address, and knowing that a full and free express sion of their views can only be ascer- tained and made effective through proper organized efforts, we recommend the fol- lowing as a plan of organizations:
 '1 There shall be a national committee of democrats who are favor of both gold and silver as money of the constitution, which shall be composed of one democrat from each state and executive committee hereinafter provided for.
 "2 That until otherwise ordered by the national committee Senators Harris of Tennessee Jones of Arkansas, Turpie of Indiana and Hons. w. J. Stone of Mis- souri and w. Fl. E. Henreichson shall be the committee and shall have full power and authority, and it shall be their duty at as early a day as possible to appoint members of the national committee here in provided for, and to fill vacancies in same
 g. That said national committee shall have full control and direction of the pa triotic effort of the bimetallic democrats of the nation to secure in the next dem ocratic convention the maintenance Of the time-honored principles and policies of the democratic party, and when the national committee herein provided for is not in session the executive committee shall have all the authority and dis charge all duties conferred upon the na- tional committee.
 A. It shall be the duty of every mem Der of the national committee from each state immediately after his appointment to take such steps as he may deem best to organize the bimetallic forces of his state, and it is earnestly recommended that in each county ana election pre- cinct of each state bimetallic democratic clubs be organized; and for the purpose he may appoint such committees and canyassers as he may deem best
 ..5. That fully realizing the fact that this nor any other plan Of organization can not be successful without hearty CO., operation of the voters themselves, we urge upon every voter in every state in the union who is in sympathy with this movement and who wishes to re- store permanent prosperity to ms nome and country to lend his aid and influence to perfecting this organization, and that each of them shall enroll himself in such club"
 Rv unanimous vote approval was given to the plan proposed and the conference then. at 12:45 o'clock, on motion of Sena- tor Harris. adjourned sine die.
 After the adjournment of the confer ence the executive committee provided for in the plan of organization held two hours session, at which means of ob- taining an efficient national committee was fully discussed. It was finally de- ciaed to divide the country into sections and to give each member of the eXecu- tive committee section in which to cor respond, with a view of getting the best man to advance the cause outlined by the convention. It was necessary to take this step, as all the states were not represented at the conference and the delegates of many of those reported did not wish to name men for the national convention before consulting their friends at home.
 The executive committee before sepa- rating named the following as members of the national committee: Ex-senator Patrck Walsh of Augusta, Ga; J. H. Dennis of Reno. New; c. s. Thomas of Colorado; G. A. Lee of Idaho; J. H. Head of Nashville and c. Armstrong of Ar
