EVENING RECEPTION
A STREAM OF VISITORS COME
AND GO
Perfectly Informal in Character But
Several Brief Talks Were Made
by Visiting Delegates

The new club rooms Of the Silver Re-
publicans were made brilliant by the
decoration that served as background
for the throng of guests that kept coming g
and going throughout the evening.
Geraniums and roses, intertwined with
smilax, were wreathed around the pic
lures and walls of the reception parlors,
while sprays of flaming poinsettia in
combination with masses Of lilies lit up
the corners Of the rooms and also the
entrance hall. A large portrait of Hon.
William j. Bryan, backed by an i'm
mense American flag, faced every guest
upon entering the rooms, and from ii
was draped a small silken flag looped
with flowers.
The earlier part of the evening was
taken up by a musical program, and at
o'clock light refreshments were handed
around. Nathan Cole, jr., then called
upon Judge Phillips to say few words,
and that gentleman with worldly Wis
dom utilized the occasion by inviting
any friends present, who might not be
members of the club, to append their
signatures to the roll of membership.
Truth to tell, too, quite number ac-
cepted the invitation.
C. K. McClatchie, editor of the Sacra-
mento Bee, made quite spirited little
address "I think 1 may say" he re-
marked, "that this is most auspicious
night. In this club today was planted
the seed that is to develop into the tree
in whose shadow is to be worked out the
regeneration of the Republican party,
when it will be reformed to what it was
before it sacrificed itself to the gold
standard, to the party of Lincoln, of
Garfield and of McKinley-while he was
in congress up to the time Of the adop-
ton Of the St. Louis platform. 1t has
been a matter of common knowledge
that UP to that time William Mckinley
had been earnest in and out of congress
in behalf of silver reconciliation. In
this state also the Republican party has
always been pledged to silver, but the
The herald., 1897-09-10

trnates to such convention, and that
each member of all committees also be a
delegate to such convention, thus CIV
ing the party a convention of 808 dele
gates.
1--WE would authorize the administra-
ton committee to call such convention
at such time and at such place as they
may deem best.
I'VE heartily indorse the PLAN of Or
ganization adopted by the provisional
national committee of the Silver Repub-
lican party, and we pledge the national
committee our hearty sympathy and
support.
ENCOURAGING LETTERS
The several committee reports having
been adopted Secretary Cooper was
called upon by the chairman to read q
number Of letters from all parts of the
state. These communications were for
the most part from men occupying
prominent positions in business and the
professions in the several parts Of the
state where they have their homes.
They all conveyed assurances of sympa-
thy with the movement, and while re-
GREETING an inability to be present at the
conference gave assurance Of aiding i'll
the work in their own cities. AS a sam
pie of the letters received and read may
be given the one received from Juds 2
Van Dyke, who while from high sense
of duty refraining from taking an ac-

The silver question is dead, say some
Republicans friends. and the large wheat
crop Of this country has buried 1t out OF
sight; the enhanced value of this
crop, by the way. is so at the expense
of widespread distress in other countries
through the failure of their crops.
If the contention is true, then the post
mortem remains Of the silver question
needs attention in California, for like
some of the Cuban leaders who are re-
peatedly killed off and reported dead, it
won't stay dead, and at the present time
is just about as lively corpse as could
we'll be imagined.
From now on the Silver Republicans,
that most important wing of the vast
army of people who believe that the sill
yer question is not dead and never can
die until it is settled and settled right,
will have distinct standing as party
in the state through the perfecting of a
state organization. Yesterday was held
. conference of the provisional commit
The herald., 1897-09-10

tee Of the Silver Republica MS of the
state, and the result Of this conference
has been the formation of a state organi-
Dation.
The conference was called by Nathan
Cole, jr., national committeeman, and a
very gratifying response was made.
Some fifteen counties were represented
by delegates, while most of the remain
ing counties were represented by prox-
les. Throughout the day the proceed
ings of the conference were marked by
a most perfect unanimity Of sentiment,
the most perfect decorum and a most
earnest desire to advance the interests
Of the cause to which every one present
was pledged, with a total absence of any
wire-pulling for individual benefit. In
asmuch as the conference was of a polit-
ical cast, this was especially noteworthy.
"Great oaks from little acorns grow"
runs the proverb, and this infant organi-
cation from its birth gives promise of a
most vigorous and lusty manhood.
The delegates met in conference at the
headquarters of the Silver Republican
club, 533 South Main street, and were
called to order at 10 o'clock a. M by
National Committeeman Nathan Cole,

The applause that greeted the speak
er's remarks had scarce died away when
Col. ]. E. Messmore was introduced to
the assembled guests as one of the old
war horses of the Democratic party.
The colonel scanned his audience quiz
zically and remarked. This appears to

l have always thought that when one
is chosen to a responsible judicial Of
flee he should, for the time he occupies
the bench at least, abstain from taking
any active part in partisan politics. At
one time or another parties not only of
all creeds but of every shade in politics
appear before him in seeking redress for
wrongs or in defending their rights un-
der the law, and they should be made
to feel that the judge who is to hear and
decide their cause is not affected by the
bias or prejudice that a too active par
ticipation in political controversies
might engender.
For these reasons beg to request that

that all proxies be transferable.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
The committee on organization then
submitted the following report to the
provisional COMMITTEES:
'While we believe that the duty of
formulating full and complete declara
tion of principles properly devolves upon
the repre- sentatives of our party to be in
sta convention in due time assembled,
we nevertheless feel that we correctly
voice the sentiments of the Silver Re-
publicans of Southern California as so
happily expressed by the provisional ma
tional committee of the Silver Repub-
lican party at Chicago, June s, 1897 as
follows:
" Resolved, That the Silver Repub-
lican party of the United States favors
tn immediate esta blishment of bimetal
lsm by the independent action of the
United States through the free coinage
of both silver and gold at the ratio of
16 to 1, and the clothing of both metals
equally, giving the right to every debtor
to choose which coin shall be the basis
of payment, and,
Resolved. That the achievement of
this great object is deemed by us of par
amount political Importance, and shall
form the controlling motive Of our polit-
ical action until it is accomplished
I'VE recommend the following plan of
organization: The election, of chair
man, first second and third vice. chair
man and treasurer. A general commit
tee composed of eighty members, one
from each assembly district; an execu-
tive committee of twenty-one, three
from each congressional district; an ad-
ministration committee of seven, one
from each congressional district The
administration committee to be appoint
ed by the chairman of this body, and the
executive committee to be appointed at
the first meeting of the administratio ton
committee; then the general commit
tee to be appointed at the first meeting
of the executive committee.
1--WE would further suggest that when
ever it is found necessary to call state
convention that each member of the gen.
eral committee be requested and empow-
cred to appoint five delegates and five al

delegates to the last convention had
scarcely reached the Nevada line before
some of them went back upon their
pledges in favor of the gold standard.
1.-THE seed planted today is going to
result in such fruitage that the truth
will be enforced, if this country is going
to be a great nation. That money with
so 900 900 of people behind it is valid
money before the world, in contrast to
