tioaal republican administration or any
other man who supports that party cr
who is not committed 10 the support Of
the financial policy Of the platform OF
the silver pa,tirs in 1896, aud to this end
we recommend that tho conventions OF
our respective parties adopt resolu p
tions protesting against nny fusion be-

the national republican party in any SEN
atorial or representative district or coun.
ty in this state, aud that SAID conventions
authorize and empower the state chair
man of each party to take such action na
will prevent any fusion between any of
those supporting the silver cause, and

tions OF the fusion committee to Tho con.
yentlons. or course the resolutions OF
the joint committee are simply in the
nature Of recommendation TO the stale
conventions but, II a fusion 10 accom-
plishod, 1t is very probable that these OF
similar resolutions viii b. made part
OF the terms Of the fusion. The mem-
