We are sincerely DESTROYS of effect.ng
some arrangement by which a compact
and satisfactory union of all silver forces
may be contaminated. Among these
forces three distinct organizations are
represented in this state, namely: demo-

named purpose in view, and to that end
we beg to submit the following PROPOSE
ton, to-wit:
That the democrats name one elector-
at-large and four district electors; the
populists one elector-at-large and four
district electors; 1t one elector be given

commend this proposition to your favor
able consideration and sincerely hope it
may meet you approval and adoption
If it shall we are ready to confer with
you concerning details of the arrange
ment.
