 Democrats at Washington.

tions and programme being unable to report when the meeting was first called to order, it was suggested that the conference should listen to speeches by those present. c F. Coch- rane, editor of the St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette, addressed the conference. He said it seemed anomalous that meeting such as the present should be called, for he knew of no doctrine of the party which was not in consonance with the purposes of this conference. Representative Neill, of Arkansas; ex-Representative Fithian, of Illinois; Representative Livingston, of Georgia; Col. Casey Young, of Mem- phis, and ex-Representative Turner, of New York; Senator Call, A. A. Lips combe, Representative Jones, of Vir- ginia; Mir. Bodine and J. NJ. Hall, of Missouri, also made addresses It was almost 12 o'clock when the committee on resolutions filed into the conference room and Senator Daniel was recognized to make the report of the committees proceedings. This was divided into two sections, one con- sisting of an address to democrats and the other of the plan of organi- zation. The address was read by Gov. Stone, of Missouri. It dis claims speaking with party authority, the assemblage being a voluntary one, but strongly represents the opinion of the conference, that the party should declare for free coinage of silver. It concludes as follows:
 Duty to the people requires that the party of the people continue the battle for bimetallism until its efforts are crowned with success; therefore be it
 Resolved. That the democratic party in na- tional convention assembled, should demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold into primary or redemption money at the ratio of Is to without waiting for the action or approval of any other nation.
 Resolved second. That it should declare its irrevocable opposition to the substitution for a metallic money of panic breeding, corpora tion creating currency, based on single metal, the supply of which is so limited that it can be cornered at any time by few banking institu- tions in Europe and America
 Resolved, thiHd That 1t should declare its opposition to the policy and practice of sur rendering to the holders of the obligations of the United States the option reserved by the law to redeemlnR such obligation either In silver coin or gold coin.
 Resolved, fourth, That 1t should declare It's opposition to the issuing of est-bearing bonds of the United States in time of peace and especially to placing the treasury of the government under the control of any syndicate of bankers and the issuance of bonds to be sold by them at an enormous profit Tor the purpose of supplying the federal treasury with gold to maintain the policy of gold monometallism.
 Nyia ta rfpy tha Ahara toa md re-adoption of the democratic financial policy. above set forth by the democratic national convention to be assembled in 1898 and of the nomination ot a candidate for the presi- dency we'll known to be in hearty sympathy herewith, we hereby pledge our mutual cooperation and ur- gently recommend to our democratic brethren in all the states to at once begin and vigorous ly and systematically prosecute the work of thorough organization, and to this end the adoption of the plan of organization herewith submitted is recommended
 The part of the report dealing with the plan of organization was read by ex-Senator Jarvis, of North Carolina, as follows:
 Believing that large majority of the demo- cratic voters of the United States are in har- mony with the sentiments expressed in the foregoing address, and knowing that full and free expression of their views can only be as- certained and made effective through proper organized efforts, we recommend the following as a plan of such organization
 First-There shall be national committee of democrats who are in favor of both silver and gold as the money Of the constitution, which shall be composed of one democrat from each state and territory and the District of COlum- bia and the executive committee hereinafter provided for.
 Second-That until otherwise ordered by the national committee, Senators Isham C. Harris, of Tennessee; James R. Jones, of Arkansas, and David Turpie, of Indiana, and Hons W. J. Stone, of Missouri; w. H. Hinrishsen. of Illinois, and Casey Young of Tennessee, be- and they are hereby constituted, the executive committee, and shall have full power and au- thority, and it shall be their duty at as early day as possible to appoint the members of the national committee herein provided for and to fill vacancies in the same
 Third-That said national committee shall have full control and direction of the patriotic effort of the bimetallic democracy of the na- tion to secure in the next national democratic convention the maintenance of the time-hon- ored principles and policies of the democratic party, and when the national committee here- in provided for is not in session the executive committee shall have all the authority and dis charge all the duties hereby conferred upon the national committee.
 Fourth-It shall be the duty of the members of the national committee from each state i'm mediately after his appointment to take such steps as he may deem best to organize the bi- metallic forces of his state, and 1t 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 subcommit- tees and canvassers as he may deem best.
 Fifth-That, fully realizing the fact that this nor any other plan of organization cannot be successful without the hearty Cooperation 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 permanent prosperity to his home and country, to lend his aid and influence to perfecting this organization, and that each of them shall enroll himself in some club.
 The report of the committee was adopted without opposition, and, after listening to some speeches, the confer- ence adjourned sine die.
