This elaborate club organization scheme
quickly and clearly blossomed into fur
ther completeness. Secretary Gavigan
displayed full sets of printed matter ready
for the work and ready for the committees
who were systematically asked in success
sion to step out to a front room and get
their supplies, while Secretary Gavigan
explained them.
There were enrolment blanks headed
Proposed Association of Democratic Free
Coinage of Silver Clubs" which are to be
signed in each precinct. Then followed a
blank application from the precinct clubs
for enrolment in the proposed associa-
ton.
There was also even q printed form of
constitution for the clubs all ready for
prompt consideration on organization. As
the proposed clubs are expected to evil
dence the general party patriotism of the
Buckleyites for one thing and to indirectly
re-enforce their showing of number and
power. the declaration OF principles offered
is interesting and as follows:
The objects of this club are as follows;

both gold and silver at the present ratio Of I6

States, the autonomy OF States, local self-gov-
ernment and freedom of elections
To resist revolutionary changes and the CEN

To oppose class legislation; which despoils
labor and builds up MONOPOLY;
To cooperate with the regular organization
of the Democratic party in support of honest
men and honest measures.
The new club organization enterprise
being started on its way, Chairman Roths-
child named the following as commit
