That We affirm the desirability Of a
thorough union between the silver par
ties Of the state of Colorado, in accord
ance with and upon the lines proposed
by the chairmen OF our respective m.
tional organizations, in their addresses
issued in February last, and that we con-
gratulate the silver forces Of the nation
that the good work outlined and suggest
ed in those addresses has already borne
fruit in many states OF the Union.
We pledge our individual faith ono to
the other, and our respective party COM
mittees each to each, that We will, indi-
vidually and collectively, use all honora-
BILE means to bring about the result de-
sired by the heads OF our several organ.
izations.
We are, severally and collectively, OF
the opinion that the question Of free
coinage OF silver Is the paramount issue
in the politics OF this nation, that there
can be no compromise between the advo-
Gates OF this beneticent change in our
monetary systom and those who support
or favor the gold standard, and that
there should be no division among those
who labor to bring to our people the
great blessings which will follow tho sue
cessful issue OF the struggle in which
our forces are oil engaged.
The question Of which party md wha,
individual should hold any particular Of.
hce is trivial and insignificant while the
right OF our citizen. to freely enjoy the
fruits Of their own labor and toll is de-
med, and We will not let differences as
to non essentials divide us when we are
united upon the essentials OF our coun-
try's welfare.
We believe that there should be fu-
SION, union and cooperation OF the par.
ties which We represent, IN support Of
joint state, congressional and Legislative
tickets, to the end that the views enter
tanned by the vast majority Of the peo.
pie OF this state should be truly rcpre.
ssnted IN both houses OF congress, and in
the state government, and that these
Vows should be authoraiively expressed
in single platform to be promulgated
by our respective party conventions.
Resolved, further, That Us an impor-
tant step In the direction OF making si.
fec,ivs tho foregoing declarations, the
conventions OF said parties should be
hold ut tho same time and place, and
that the views OF the majority Of the as-
sembled committees M TO the proper
time and place for holding said conyen.
tions should be dccisiye and acc, ptod
by all three committee. Be IL further
Resolved, 1hat'wo pledge our best o..
forts as individuals, committees aud par
fy officials TO effect fusion OF our res.
peetive parties on legislative asd other
