The state herald., 1898-09-02
That we affirm the desirability of n


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
ed 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, indi-
vidually and collectively, use all honorn-
BILE means to bring about the result de-
sired by the heads Of our several organ
izhtions.
We are, severally and collectively, OF
the opinion that the question Of FREQ
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 beneiicent change in our
monetary system 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 the esuc-
cessful ISSUE of the struggle in which
our forces are all engaged.
The question of which party and what
individual should hold any particular Of
flee 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 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-
ole of this state should be truly repre-
sented IN both houses OF congress, and in
the state government, and that these
views should be authoratively expressed
in a single platform to be promulgated
by our respective party conventions.
Resolved, further. That as an impor-
tant step III the direction of making ef.
fective the foregoing declarations, the
conventions OF said parties should be
held u, tho same time nnd place, and
that the views OF the majority of the as
sembled committees ms to the proper
time and place for holding said conven
tions should be decisive and acc, pied
by all three committee. Be it further
Resolved, That We pledge our best ef.
forts rs individuals, committees and par
~ officials to effect fusion OF our res
pective parties on legislative and other
candidates, In order that we may present
a solid front in the support OF state, con
gress'onal, legislative and county tickets
in the coming election"
Now, therefore, pursuantjto the recon-
mendations OF said JOINT committee, and
by virtue OF the power vested in me as
chairman OF the state central committee.
