 CHICAGO, July 15.-The executive com. mittee of the gold standard Democrats of Illinois has prepared an address to the Democracy of the other states in tho Union. It was the unanimous opinion of the committee that a second Democratic national convention should be called to nominate candidates for president and vice president. The address is as follows: ITO Our Fellow Democrats of othor
 States;
 "A national convention convened un- der the constituted authority of our par ty has just closed It's session in the oity of Chicago. It entered upon its work by vio. lating all party precedents In the rejection of a distinguished Democrat as its tempo rary presiding officer.
 Ut deprived sovereign state of voice In It's deliberations by unseatinR without cause or legal justification delegates olect- cd with all the regularity known to party organization.
 Ut refused to indorse the honesty and fidelity of the present Democratic national administration.
 ''It adopted a platform which favors the free and unlimited coinage of silver by this country alone at the ratio of I6 to |, and thereby 1t repudisted a time honorod Democratic principle, which demands the strictest maintenance of a sound and sta. ble currency.
 Finally, to make 1t still plainer that although in name 1t was not In fact a Ia.. tlr. sl~sx Gs H.w president one who Is not in his politics and has not always beon even in professions a Democrat This has made such a crisis both for the nation and the Democratic party that sound money Democrats must at onoe 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 Democrats of Illinois have fully made up their minds that new Democratic national convention should be called for the earliest feasible day to nom- inato Democratic candidates for president and vioe president and to adopt platform of Democratic principles, and they dosir~s to state to the Democrats of the other states their reasons as follows:
 Reasons For tho Call.
 "First.-Sound money Democrats owe 1t to the country to make it certain at once that their revolt against free silver Is de- termlned and will be organized. It Is un- fair to oblige the credit of the nation and the business and industrial interests of the people to merely guess what the sound money Democrats will do in November and walt until November to find out "Second.-The nomination of a new ticket Is the logical course Without it and a sound money Democratic campaign the whole educational force of sound money Democratic sentiment would be paralyzed from the beginning. Republicans cannot argue the sound money question to Dem- oorato voters. Republican sincerity on that question is doubted by the mass of Democrats The tariff question will be put to the front and insisted upon by Repub- lican speakers and the Republican press ms it has consistently been by Mir MoKin- ley himself. Democrats will not listen to lessons on finance whom accompanied by abuse of the Democratic party. The most effective force af this time for campaign is the force resting in the sound monoy Democrats, for they arc profoundly In oar nest and can get a hearing from Demoornts tha the Republicans cannot possibly get.
 "Third.-A new convention would also preserve for the future the opportunities of the Democratic party. Unless clear out separation is made between the genu- inc Democrats and Democrats who are drifting to Populism or are already In Populism, and unless a clear cut separa- ton is supported by organization, the par. ty has no chance of regaininR public con tdenoe for years to come The sound mon ey Democrats in tho different states must either mnke 1t clear that they have DO as- sociation with the Bryan party or they must accept association and entanRlement with 1t, and all state organizations will in the public mind be for 1t that do not make it absolutely clear thnt they are against it. The sound money Democrats are already sufficiently organized In this state to be able to meet their fellow Dem oorats in new convention and aro anx. ious to confer with representatives of oth. CT states whenever a representative confer. enoe can be brought about.
 Communication should be addressed Co Mir. Charles K. Ewing, chairman, Palmer House, Chicago"
