Outhwaite, of Ohio, as chairman of the committee on call for the national convention and plan of organization, reported the following, which was re- peatedly interrupted by applause in its req ling, and adopted unanimously:
 To the democrats of the United States:
 political party has always been defined to be an association of voters to promote the suc- cess of political principle held in common. The democratic party, during it's whole his- ory has been pledged to promote the liberty Oithe individual the security of private rights and property and the supremacy of the law. Il has always insisted upon q safe and stable money for the peoples use. It has insisted up- on the maintenance Of the financial honor of the nation. as we'll as upon the preservation nyiOate Of the institutions established by the constitution. These, its principles. were aban- iOned by the supposed representatives of the party at national convention recently as- sembled at Chicago.
 The democratic party will, therefore, cease to exist unless it be preserved by the vol ultary action of such of its members as still adhere to the fundamental principles. No ma Ory Ot the members of that convention, how ever large. had any right or power to surrender hOse principles When they undertook to do 80, that asSemblage ceased to be . de nocratic convention The action taken. the irregular proceedings and the platform enunciated by that body were and are utterly and indefensi- Revolutionary and constitute such radical departures from the principles of trre democ- racy which should ch2r>ctsrize sound and patriotic administration of our country's af- hlrSthat it's results are not entitled to the con- ttence or support of true democrats
 For the first time since national parties were formed there is not before the American peo- pie platform declaring the principles of the democratic party, as recognized and most couraseously and consistently administered by Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland, nor are there nominees for the ofi.es of president 'at wee pre- ?ident of the United States p!edscd to carry those principles into practical effect. The faithful and true democrats of the United States are determined that their principles shall not be uthlessly surrendered, nor the people be de- prlyed of an opportunity to vote for candidates in accord herewith
 Therefore, the national democratic party of 'he United States, through itS regularly con- Hltuted committee, hereby calls national convention of that party, for the announce aeht Of its platform and the nomination of eandldates for president and vice president of ne United States, and the transaction of sach business as is incidental thereto, to be aed at Indianapolis on Wednesday, the 2d aay ot September, i896, at 12 o'clock noon, and hereby request that the members of the party n the several states who believe in sound money and the preservation of law and @uer and who are unalterably opposed "lhe platform adopted and candidates nomi- aa'ed at Chicago, will select, in such manner to them shall seem best, a number of dele- n'es to the same, equal to twice the number electoral votes to which such states are NSpeetiyely entitled Such delegates shall be Suy accredited, according to the usages of tho @ulocratic party. Their credentials shall be awarded or delivered to the secretary of this "nmlttee with all convenient speed, and this wamittee will make up and announce the roll ~tne delegates entitled to participate in the
 f''mlnary organization of the convention.
