the democratic, peoples and silver re.
publican parties, in conference assem-
bled:
That we affirm the desirnbility OF q
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 ma
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
cd in those addresses has already borne
fruit in many states OF the Union.
We pledge our individual faith one to
the other, and our respective party COM
mittees each TO each, that We will, inji-
viduaily and collectively, use all honora-
BILE means TO bring about the result de-
sired 10y 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 bsnelicent change in our
monetary system and tlose who support
or favor the gold standard, and that
there should be no division among thosC
who labor 10 bring TO our people tho
great blessings which will follow thesuc-
cessful Issue OF the struggle in which
our forces are all engaged
The question OF which party and whni
Individual should hold any particular Of
lice is trivial and insignificant while the
right OF our citizens to freely enjoy the
fruits Of their own labor and toll IS de-
med. and we will not le; differences as
10 non essentials divide us when we are
united upon the essentials OF our coun-
ty'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 aud Legislative
tickets, TO the end that the views enter
tanned by the vast majority OF tho peo'
pie OF this state should be truly repre-
sented IN both houses OF congress, and in
tho state government, nnd that these
views should be authoraiiyely expressed
in single platform to be promulgated
by our respective party conventions.
Resolved, further, That as an impor-
tant stop III the direction OF making ei
feetye the foregoing declarations, tn,
conventions OF Enid pnrties should /,
held Ht the same time aud place, and
that the Views u the majority Of the as
sembled committees as TO the propol
time and place for holding said conyen

Resolved, Tint We pledge our best et
