We concluded that tho best way 20 do this was
to first organize q national central committee
OF silver democrats. consisting OF one or more
members for each state. and let these
members look after the organization OF
their own states. To SOLICIT gentlemen
for membership OF this COMMITTEE by cor

concluded TO invite one or more gentlemen OF
