TIE GOLD DEMOCRATS.
They Favor ii Gail for an Independent
Party Convention.

CHICAGO, July 2i-The meeting of gold
standard Democrats called to consider the
advisability of issuing "a call for n national
convention was held last night at the
Auditorium annex. The meeting con
vened shortly after s O o'clock and was held
in secret, the public and press being ex-
cluded The chief cause for the secrecy
was that Comptroller Eckcls, who WAS
expected from Washington, was gen
orally understood to carry in his vest
pocket the wishes of the present admins
tration regarding u conventions and n
third ticket, and it was desired to give
him all possible opportunity to say what
Mr. Cleveland desired without it being too
extensively advertised
1t was generally admitted that the
wishes of the administration would go Tar
toward determining whether or not there
should be another ticket in the field, hut
many of the visiting Democrats had no
hesitation in saying hat "A ticket wouldbe
put up in spite of everything. H..
kilograms We're received and read at the
conference from prominent Democrats all
over the country, strongly indorsing the
movement for another ticket.
Comptroller Eckels did not appear, and
the meeting, after waiting some time for
him, went into session. General \. 5.
Bragg, of Wisconsin, was elected chair
man and c. A. Ewing, of Illinois, score
tary.
The conference definitely decided that
n convention should be called, the only
question being whether the meeting
should issue the call, and on this a lively
debate ensued.
g. NJ. Davis, of kentucky, presentedthe
principal reasons calling for a convention
to be held on Sept. /, in Detroit. IL 5.
Robbins, of Illinois, did not favor the issue
of % call by this meeting, and Il. X. Knott,
of Kentucky, spoke strongly in favor of
calling the convention at once. "a.
Senator Villas, of Wisconsin, violently
opposed the issuing of a call by the CON
ference. His speech was frequently cheernd,
although the general sentiment Of the
meeting seemed to incline the other way
He said:
III weare 20 have an organization which
shall represent the Democratic party W.
must recruit 1t from every state in the
Union. We must not issue n call from n
body too narrow to be potential. Lat 4
mass meeting be held in each state. and
let them nominate delegates to a national
convention. We want all the states rep.
resented when the call goes forth for the
convention. Then we are sure Of nuI
ground and of our strength"
After a long debate a resolution wa
adopted to the effect that it was the senSt

form enunciated and candidates for prast'

said convention should be held not Later

A committee of one from each state rep

orders to report to the general meeting

tired but for the strong Democratic
opposition to the Republican schemes
The Republicans elected a majority
in the 51st Congress and repealed the
Bland act and suspended the coinage
of the Bland dollars, In place of which
they required the Secretary OF che
Treasury TO purchase $4.500,000 worth
Of silver bullion each month and issue
treasury notes therfor 100000, 600
OF these notes are in circulation The
Republicans had tried to stop the cir
culation of these, too. but Democrats

amount reduced TO less than 100000

money. He was always willing to
vote for an increase of the circulating

81 600 100000 I'm circulation, and if the
people elect a Republican Congress and

The people are complaining of hard
