WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-General A. j.
Warner presiIsu at the conference of the
Bimetallic League which was held in
Willard's hall yesterday. There We're
about lC0 free coinage men present. The
first thing in order was a speech by Gen.
eral Warner, who said that silver men
should come together and organize re-
gardless OF the old parties, both of which
were dominated by gold. A complete
overturning OF those parties was the need
of the hour. Committees on resolutions
and organization were appointed as fol-
lows: Resolutions-Senator Jones, of
Nevada; James Sheldon, of Connecticut;
II. +. Bartine, of Nevada; John II. Lori
ner, of Philadelphia, and Hon. J. l.. Nc

POpulists Decline to Serve.
The committees will report today. A
committee on order of business was ap-
pointed, but members of the Populist COM
mittee appointed at st. Louis persstentiy
declined to serve on the body. Editor
Holden, Of the Cleveland Plaindealer, in
yited the silver men to hold their conven-
| ton in his city. In the course of some re-
marks Holden said he did not think it
| necessary to forsake his party, and added
that 'if this be treason make the most of
it" His speech gave rise to considerable
discussion, and Joseph Battcllc, a dele
gate from Vermont, in vigorous language
gave the editor to understand that nobody
was wanted in the conference who was
not for free silver first and last.
Going TO Show q Bolder Front.
Speeches were also made by Crawford,
of Indiana; Miles, of Ohio; Bradshaw, of
Montana, Porter, of Virginia, and Jo-
seph &. Sibley, Of Pennsylvania. Last
night another session was held at which
q large number of delegates made
speeches. Secretary Light says of the new
movement: This conference means that
the bimctallic movement is going to show
n bolder front than ever to the enemy.
1t means that the free silver sentiment,
so-callcd, is not dying ont. On the con-
trary it is stronger and more compact to-
day than it ever was We still believe
that the demonstration of silver has
caused the existing depression in trade,
and we purpose fighting until bimetallism
is fully recognized by our government
and our people. The organization will lie
strictly non-partisan and any person who
believes in bimetallism may become a
member Of the union"
