CHICAGO, July 13.-The executive
committee of the gold standard Demo-
Gratis of Illinois met in protracted ses.
ion today and prepared an address to
the Democracy of other states in the
union. 1t was the unanimous opinion
OF the committee that second national
convention should be called to nominate
candidates for president and vice presi-
dent. The address is as follows:

states: A national convention, conven-
ed under the constituted authority of

the city of Chicago, entered upon its

voice In It's deliberations by unseating
without cause or legal justification dele
gates elected with all the regularity
known to party organization.

hdelity OF the present Democratic ma
tional administration, adopted q plat
form which favors the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver by this country
alone at the ratio of 16 to 1, and therebv
it repudiated -honored Democrat

maintenance of sound and stable ma
tional currency.

although in name it was not in fact. a
Democratic convention, it nominated

been even in his professions Democrat
This has made such a crisis, both for the
nation and the Democratic party that
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 par
