CHICAGO, July 10. = Illinois sound
money Democrats demand that another
Democratic convention be called and an
independent national ticket be nominated
on sound money platform. The sound
money Democrats of this state repudiate
and disown the recent convention here
They say it was not Democratic. They
accuse II and those composing IL Of politi-
cal high crimes and misdemeanors, and
they call on their fellow Democrats
throughout the nation to assist them I'm
their assault on Candidate Bryan and his
cohorts.
III the Democrats Of the nation shall re-
spond to the appeal OF the Illinois sound
money men, we'll and good II not, the
Illinois men will fight thoir own battles
and will run an independent campaign in
this state. The position taken by the Illi-

ing are set forth in an address to their fell
low Democrats of the nation, issued Mon
day night by the state advisory commit
tee Of the sound money Democracy.
Logical Course to Pursue.
The call declares that the nomination Of
new ticket IL the logical course for tho
sound money Democrats TO pursue under
the circumstances. 1t declares that the
sincerity of the Republican party on tho
sound money question is doubted by tho
mass OF Democrats and the belief ex-
pressed that the tariff will be pushed to
the front, thing which true Democrats
could not tolerate.
lt points ont that the time has come for
a clear-cut separation between the genu-
Inc Democrats and the Democrats who
are drifting into Populism, and unless
this is done there is no chance for tho
party to regain public confidence. The
call concludes as follows:
Democrats who believe i'm Democratic
principles must have n party. They will
have a party sooner or later The sooner
the better. They have now an opportun-
ity To reorganize and keep the Democratic
party, and the interests of the nation inn
peratively demands that the great Demo-
cratic party shall be rescued ont of Popu-
lism and kept on its historic foundations.
Organized In Illinois.
"The sound money Democrats are al
ready sufficiently organized in this state to-
be able to meet their fellow Democrats iu
a new convention, and are anxious to con-
fer with representatives of other states
whenever n representative conference can
be brought about. We hope that out of.
the responses to this public statement of
the views Of the Illinois Democracy thcre
can be gathered so much of the Judgment
of the leading sound money Democrats of
the United States as can be formulated
into plan of action. Communications
should be addressed to Charles A. Ewing,
chairman"
