satisfied Elements of All Parties.
Topeka, Kan, Dec. 29.-Walter N. AL
len, former democrat, who has been act
ing with the populists since the Farmers
Alliance took hand in Kansas politics,
is out with proposition for the populist
national convention to make no nominal
ton for president or vice president, but to
adjourn and appoint committee to con-
fer with the dissatisfied elements of all
parties and go to the country with candi-
dates pledged for free silver, revenue re-
form and repeal of the exception clause
of the Bland-Allison act of 1878, which per-
mits parties to a contract to stipulate
against any amount of silver.
He suggests conference of anti-Cleve-
land men and of reform forces, and that
all the former party prejudices be laid
aside. He says he has been assured that
such conference would be largely at
tended. Allen has written numerous let
tiers to politicians throughout the coun-
try on the subject.
SILVER CLUBS CONSOLIDATED
Chicago, Dec. 29.-For some time past
negotiations have been pending for a
complete consolidation of the American
Bimetallic League, National Bimetallic
Union and the National Silver Committee,
the three principal silver organizations in
the United States, representing all Sec
tions of the country. Yesterday these ne
gotiations eliminated in an agreement by
the representatives of the organizations
by which consolidation has been substan-
TALLY perfected. Nothing now remains to
be done but ratification by the executive
committees of these organizations, each
acting separately, which will speedily fol-
low.
The consolidation organization will be
known as the American Bimetallic Union.
Its principal and general headquarters
will be in Chicago, at No. 1874 Monroe
street, in the office occupied by the Ma
tional Bimetallic Union, with branch Off
ces in Washington, San Francisco and
perhaps other cities, both north and
south.
1t is the purpose of the united organiza-
lions to press the campaign of education
on behalf of bimetallism with the utmost
vigor in all parts of the country.
A conference of pronounced silver men
will be held at Washington on the 22d
Of january, where plan of action will
be outlined, which it is said will have
an important bearing upon the political
events of next year.
