CHICAGO, I'LL, Nov. 1.-THE continu-
ance of the National Democratic party's
organization in Illinois for all political
purposes was unanimously decided upon
to-day at an enthusiastic conference at
tended by most of the members OF the
State Central Committee. those who were
candidates on the State ticket and half a
hundred other prominent gold Democrats,
representing a score OF cities throughout
this State. The decision took the form of
an address TO the Democrats OF Illinois
declaring that the National Democrats
party is the only Democratic party and
that its permanence was therefore fixed
ami obligatory.
The address states that the party's
transient antagonist is the free silver
party, but its permanent antagonist is the
Republican party, and concludes by claim
ing that conservative estimate of the
Illinois election returns shows over 100, 900
Democrats voted against free silver.
Permanent State headquarters will be
kept here, and the party intends to take
an active part in the municipal election of
Chicago, in the hope of crushing the Dem
ocratic machine dominated by Governor
Altgeld, especially If the Governor is
nominated for Mayor. d. A. Goodrich of
Chicago was elected chairman OF the State
Committee to succeed the late Charles A.
Ewing OF Decatur.

Bynum has been oonspicuously mentioned
for that Office, but Secretary Herbert de-

Navy will be nominated. Mr.. Herbert
was an original gold Democrat. In Con-

opposed to free coinage. Men of his none
tary predictions are not popular with
Alabama Democrats now, and the Secre-
tary OF the Navy has no desire to return
there. Cleveland is anxious to relieve his

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov 1.-THE con-

Women will open tomorrow in the
Tuxedo Hotel and will continue until
Friday. 1t is the first convention OF
Jewish women to be held in America.
The labors of the council are along the

work in religion includes Lectures and a
study of the Bible, while that in philan-

alienation of suffering and want. and the
organization of charities. One purpose of
the organization is to root out the spirit
of skepticism which is spreading among
