CHICAGO, July 1.-THE executive
committee of the gold standard dem
ocrsts of Illinois met in session today
and prepared an address to the dem
ocrscy of other states in the union. 1,
was the unanimous opinion Of the com
mittee that second national conven-
ton should be called to nominate candi-
| dades for president and vice-president.
The address says:
"To our fellow democrats of other
states: A national convention, oonven-
ed under the constituted authority of
our party has just closed its session in
the city of Chicago. 1t entered upon
the work by violating all party proceed
ents IN the rejection of distinguished
democrat as its temporary presiding
officer. 1t deprived q sovereign state
of q voice in it's deliberations by IN
seating without cause or legal iustifica-
ton delegates elected with all the regul-
arity known to party organization. 1t
fidelity of thu present democratic
national administration. 1t adopted q
platform which adopted the free and un-
limited coinage of silver by this country
alone to the ratio of Is to l, and there
by repudiates time honored democratic
principles which demand the strictest
msintainence of q sound national
currency.
Finally to make it still palmer that,
although in name it was not in fact
democratic convention, it nominated
for president one who is not in his
political convictions and has not always
been even in hio professions, q demo-
crst. This has made such crisis, both
for the nation and the democratic party,
that the sound money democrats must
at once decide what political action they
will take for the protection OF the honor
OF the nation, the prosperity OF the
people, and the life and usefulness of
the party. The sound money dem
ocrats owe it to the country to make
il certain at once that their revolt
against free silver is determined and
will be organized.
"The nomination OF q new ticket is the
logical course. Without it and q sound
money democratic campaign the whole
educational force of the sound money
democratic sentiment would be parsly-
zed from the beginning. Republicans
cannot argue the SQUAD money question
to the democratic voters. Repu blican
sincerity on that question is doubted by
the MISS OF democrats.
"The tariff question will be put to the
front and insisted upon by republican
speakers and the republican press, az it
has persistently been done by Mckinley
himself. The democrats will not listen
to lessons on finance when accompanied |
by abuse OF the democratic party.
"a new convention would preserve for |
the future the opportunities of the dem
ocratic party. Sound money democrats
are all sufficiently organized in this |
state to be able to meet their fellow |
democrats in new convention, and |
eoxlous to confer with representatives |
Of other states whenever a representa-
tive conference can be brought about.
