All Friends of Silver Urged to Rally to
the Standard of the Chicago Nomi-
nee-A High Tribute Paid to
Mr.. Bryan.

evening made public an address to the
silver Republicans of the cOuatry, setting
forth their views of the situation.
The silver Republicans, congressman
and senator's, have been in conference at
Mantou for several days over their state
ment.
In addition to those singing the adj
dress. Senator Pettigrew of South Da-
kota, and Senator Cannon of Utah, are
declared to be in sympathy with it, al
though Senator Cannon was not present
at the conference owing to business en-
gagements in Boston. The address is as
follows:
1--WE deem it fitting that we who have
heretofore affiliated with the national Re
publican party, and who have rejected
the financial platform adopted at St
Louis, and refused to support the nomi-
nees of the convention. should state our
position in the present campaign and give
briefly our reasons in support hereof.
when certain delegates to the nation
al Republican convention rrT Ldiated the
financial plank of the platform nd with
drew from the convention we determined
that we would give our support to such
candidates as should appear most will
ing and capable of aiding in the restora-
ton of silver to its rightful place as
standard money.
"The Democratic party in its Chicago
convention has taken Il position in its
,N1ntf al 70.
yer and has nominated candidates of
such unusual and unquestionable convic-
tons III favor of the bimetallic policy.
and of such personal character that we
have determined to give them our sup
port. We support such candidates be-
cause they represent the great principle
of bimetallism. which we believe to be
the cause of humanity and civilization
and the paramount questions How before
the American people. We therefore an
nounce that we shall by voice and vote
support Messrs. Bryan and Sewall Cor
president and vice president and we ap-
peal to all citizens, especially to the Re
publicans who feel as we do, that gold
recommendation should be of lasting in
jury to the country, to act with us in aid
ing their election. The Democrats who
believe in the gold standard are announc-
ing their intentions to support Mckinley
or proposing to put third candidate in
the field for the avOwed purpose of aiding
Mr.. McKinley's election. A great num-
Der of leading and influential Democratic
journals have declared that they will sup
port the Republican nominees. 1t is evil
dent there is to be Il union Of forces on
the part of the advocates and supporters
of the gold standard to elect Mr.. Nc
Kinley and IL congress favorable to him
which will support the financial policy
outlined in their platform.
"To those who believe in bimctallsm,
which means the equal treatment of both
gold and silver at the minis of the ma
ton, there is but one course to pursue.
and that is to unite all the silver forces
and to oppose with all our might the can
didate representing the policy which we
believe is fraught with disaster to the
nation and ruin to the people.
"Gold monometallism means the. shift
ing on gold alone. as primary money, of
all the burdens of commerce and credit
formerly borne by gold and silver, and as
the worlds stock of these metals has al
ways been about equal in amount. it
means the doubling of the burden upon
gold. Doubling the burden upon gold
means doubling the demand Of the same,
as doubling the demand for a necessity
doubles the value thereof This gradual
