CHICAGO, July IA The executive COM
mittee Of the gold standard Democrats Of
Illinois has prepared an address TO the
democracy Of the other states in the
Union. Ii was the unanimous opinion OF
the committee that a second Democratic
national convention should DO called to
nominate candidates for president and
vice president The address is as follows;
ITO Our Fellow Democrats of Other
States:
"A national convention convened I'M
der the constituted authority Of our par
ty has Just closed its session in the city of
Chicago. 1t entered upon its work by yio-
lating all party precedents in the rejection
of distinguished Democrat as its tempo
rary presiding officer.
1T deprived sovereign state of a voice
in Its deliberations by unseating without
cause or legnl justification delegates elect
cd with all the regularity known TO party
organization.
ut refused to indorse the honesty and
fidelity of the present Democratic national
administration
1T adopted platform which favors
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver by
this country alone at the ratio of 10 to ],
and thereby it repudiated time honored
Democratic principle which, demands the
strictest maintenance Of a sound and sta
bio 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 politics and
has not always been 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 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
Tho 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
mate Democratic candidates for president
and vice president and to adopt platform
of Democratic principles, and they desire
TO state to the Democrats of the other
states their reasons, as follows:
Reasons For the Call.
"First.-Sound money Democrats owe
1t to the country to make it certain at once
that their revolt against free silver is de-
termined and will be organized. 1t 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 wait until November TO find out.
Second. nomination of new
4oI~r 4 kl., Il. a.
a sound money Democratic campaign the
whole educational force Of sound money
Democratic sentiment would be paralyzed
from the beginning Republicans oannoi
argue the sound money question to Dem
ocratic voters. Republican sincerity OF
that question is doubted by the mass o.
Democrats. The tariff question will be put
to tho front and insisted upon by Repub
lican speakers and the Republican press al
it has persistently been by Mr. McKin
ley himself. Democrats will not listen t
lessons on finance when accompanied by
abuse Of the Democratic party. The mos
effective force at this time for campaign
is the force resting In the sound meney
Democrats, for they are profoundly in ear
most and can get a hearing from Democrat,
that tho Republicans cannot possibly get
''Third-A new convention would alsC
preserve for the future the opportunities
of the Democratic party. Unless a cleai
cut separation is made between the genu
inc Democrats and Democrats who ar,
drifting to Populism, OF are already II
Populism, and unless clear cut separa
tion is supported by organization, tho par
ty has no chance Of regaining public con
fidence for years to como. The sound mon
ey Democrats an the different states mus
either make 10 clear that they have no as
sociation with the Bryan party or the,
must accept association and entanglemen
with it, and all state organizations vii
in the public mind be for it that do no
make It absolutely olear that they ar
against It. The sound money Democrat
are already sufficiently organized in thi
state to be able to meet their fellow Dom
ocrats In a new convention and arc anx
ious TO confer with representatives Of 9th
er states whenever "A representative confer
enoe can be brought about
Communications should be addressed
to Mr.. Charles e. Ewing, chairman
Palmer House, Chicago" +"
