The Democratic party is the traditional
friend and champion Of bimetalism. Its
strength and power and popularity has
been largely built up on its steadfast op-
position to the demonstration OF silver
and its record of unwearied efforts to re-
store il TO its historic place as full
money metal equal with gold The EFFORT
OF this late day to make that party par
excellence, the champion or gold mono
metallism, the enemy Of the policy IL has
upheld and the defender Of the crime II
has denounced, is an effort to dishonor its
record, its promises, and its principles
The moment the Democratic party is
| forced into this position II heaps obloquy
on its own past and crowns its great ad-
versary with glory and honor.
Duty to the people requires that the
| party of the people continue the battle
for bimetallism until its efforts are crown

Resolved, That the Democratic party IN
national convention assem- led, should de-
clare for the free and unnmited coinage

ton money at the ratio Of i6 TO l without
waiting for the action or approval OF any
| other nation.

! With a view to securing the adherence
| to a readoption of the democratic finan-
cial policy above set forth by the demo-
cratic national convention to be assem-

1
to be in hearty sympathy Herewith, we
| hereby pledge our mutual cooperation,
and urgently recommend to democratic
| brethren in all the states 10 act at once,
! vigorously and simultaneously 20 prosa-
cute the work OF a thorough organization
and to this end adopt the plan of organi-
cation herewith submitted.
The plan of organization recommended
| by the committee was then outlined to the
conference as follows: believing that a
large majority of the democratic voters
| of the United States are in harmony with
the sentiments expressed in the forego-
ing address, and knowing that full and
| free expression of their views can only be
| ascertained and made effective through
| proper organized efforts, we recommend
the following a plan Of organization
! l. There should be a national commit
| tee 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 an
| executive committee hereinafter provided
| for
2 That until otherwise ordered by the
national committee, Senators Harris Of
| Tenn essee, Jones of Arkansas, Purple of
Indiana. Hon. S. W. j. Stone of Mis-
souri, and w. Fl. Henrichson of Illinois be
| and are hereby constituted the executive
committee and shall have full power and
authority and 1t shall be their duty at
! as early day as possible to appoint mem
| bers of the national compittee herein
provided for and to fill vacancies in same
g. That the said national committee
| shall have full control and direction of
| the patriotic effort of the bimetallc dem
ocrats of the nation to secure in the next
| democratic convention the maintenance
| of the -honored principles and poll
cies of the Democratic party, and when the
national committee herein provided for
| is not in session the executive committee
shall have all authority and discharge all
| duties hereby conferred upon the national
committee
4. 1t shall be the duty OF each national
committeeman from each state, imme
| diateIy after his appointment, to take
! such steps as he may deem best to or
ganize the bimetallic forces of his state,
and it is earnestly recommended that
| IN each county and election precinct Of
| each state bimetallic democratic clubs
be organized. and for this purpose he
may appoint such committees and can
vassers as he may deem best.
s. That fully realizing the fact that
this, nor any other plan of organization
can be successful without the 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 restore per-
| manent prosperity to his home and coun-
| try, to lend his aid and influence to per-
| fecting this organization, and that each
! of them shall enroll himself in such club.
BY unanimous vote approval was given
to the plan proposed, and the confer
| ence then, at 12:45 O'Clock, on motion of
Senator Harris. adjourned sine die.
After the adjournment OF the confer
ence the executive committee provided for
IN the plan of organization held two
hour session, at which means Of obtain
ing an efficient national committee were
fully discussed It was finally decided to
divide the country into sections and to
give each member OF the executive COM
rnittee a section in which to correspond
with a view to getting the best men to ad-
| vance the cause outlined by the conven-
| ton. 1t was found necessary to take this
step as all the states were not represent
ed at the conference, and the delegates
| of many of those represented did not
wish to name men for the national COM
nittee before consulting their friends at
| home.
The executive committee before separat-
ing named the following members Of the
committee. Ex-senator Walsh Of Angus
