In conversation with a Star reporter
General Warner sketched the intention of
the committee:
The object of the meeting" said Cen
eral Warner to Star reporter, is to out
line the work to be done the coming year,
especially with the view of meeting the
present situation brought about by the
proposed currency scheme of Mr.. Gage.
"Of course. all bimetallists are opposed
not only to the permanent establishment
of the single gold standard, but are equally
against the substitution of non-legal ten
der promises of banks to pay money in
place of United States legal tender notes,
We hold that the currency cannot be
mace better by such a process, and that
no other enlightened country would enter
tain. even for discussion, such a PROPOSE
ton as nov confrOntS the people of this
country.
and the gold trust, which embraces all
other monopolies, We're never SO well united
as now, and they are constantly increasing
In numbers. They will stay united in the
campaign this year and in 1900.
"Al attempts to repeat the tactics of
1872 and impose on the party another
Cleveland as it's leader viii utterly fail
That an attempt VIII be made TO depose
Bryan and elevate some man like Cleve-
land has been anticipated. and the people
are on to it, 1t will not work. The people
Will stay with Bryan and he with them.

much of late by overwork, and it was his
intention to spend the next few months
In Georgia. He did not at present feel
physically able to continue the work in
hand, and some time during the present
session he would ask the executive COM
mittee to name some one to take his place
temporarily at least, at the head of the
union.
