CHE CALL FOR A CoNvENTru., .

A political party has always been de
fined to be an association Of voters 10
promote the success of political principles
held in common. The Democratic party,
during its whole history has been pledged
to promote the liberty Of the individual,
the security OF private rights and prop
erty. and the supremacy of the law. Ii
has always insisted upon a safe and stable
money for the peoples use. II has insist
ed upon the maintenance Of the financial
honor Of the nation, as well as upon the
= preservation inviolate of the institutions
as established by the Constitution.
These, its principles, were abandoned by
the supposed representatives, OF a party
at a national convention recently assem-
bled at Chicago. The Democratic party
Will, therefore. cease 10 exist, unless il
be preserved by the voluntary action OF
such of its members as still adhere 10
Its fundamental principles. No majority
OF members Of That convention, however
large, had any right or power 10 surren-
der those principles When they under
took to do so, that assemblage ceased 10
be Democratic.
For the first time since national parties
were formed. there Is mot now before
the American people platform declaring
the principles Of tie Democratic party. as
recognized and most courageously and
consistently administered by Jefferson,
Jackson. and Cleveland. nor are there
nominees for the Offices Of President and
vicePre5ldent Of the United States,
pledged TO carry those principles into
practical effect. The faithful and true
Democrats of tho United States are de
termined that their principles shall not
be ruthlessly surrendered. nor the people
be deprived OF an opportunity 10 vote
for candidates in accord herewith
Therefore, tie National Democratic
party OF the United States. through its
regularly constituted committee. hereby
calls a national convention OF that party
for announcement OF its platform and the
nomination OF candidates for the Offices Of
President and Vice,President Of the
United States. and the TRANSACTION Of
such business as is incidental thereto. to
be held In
indianapolis on Wednesday, the ed Day
of September, 1896. at IL Noon,
and hereby requests that the members
of the party in the several States. who
believe in sound money. and the preserva-
ton OF law and oder. and who are
unalteraDiy opposed TO tho platform
adopted and candidates nominated AZ
Chicago. VIII select Ia such manner as
TO them shall seem best, number OF
delegates 20 the Same equal 10 twice the
number or electoral votes 10 which such
States are respectively entitled.
Such delegates are 10 be duly accredited.

party. Their credentials shall be for
