A meeting of the ST. Paul Bimetallic
union was held last evening at A. o.
U. W. temple. About 100 members were
present, Vice President George G. Lam
bert presiding, and S. M. Badger act
ing as secretary.
The committee Of fifteen. appointed
at the regular meeting of the union
March IA. for the purpose of uniting
the forces for the coming municipal
election, submitted a report Of It's work
so far performed. The report went on
to ask the sense of the bimetallic union
as to the propriety Of its continuance
in service, saying:
The committee begs leave to say that IN
its opinion, the union or capitalization Of
all the reform forces of the city into prac-
ucally one force in the coming municipal
campaign is consummation devoutly to
be wished, and one that ought to be un-
selhshly and unweariedly labored for by
every voter who has the cause of finan-
cial reform and of good municipal govern
ment earnestly at heart. That the op
ponents of the party controlling the pres
ent city administration are largely in The
majority In the city Is universally con-
ceded If that party succeeds in continu-
ing itself in power at the coming election,
it will be because of the division and dis
traction of the hosts Of voters opposed to
1t. Upon this division and distraction is
based its hope of success. There ought to
be, therefore, intelligence enough among
the reform forces, who are united upon the
essential question, to discern the situation,
and patriotism and public spirit enough to
prompt them to rise to the occasion.
The universal sentiment, as expressed at
both meetings Of the committee among it's
members and its conference, was that The
city Of st. Paul, in common with the whole
country, is suffering from the effects of
the financial system known the single gold
standard. And that this Ill condition can
not be permanently removed until, with
other reforms, there shall be established
and maintained by the United States the
free and unlimited coinage of both gold
and silver at the ratio or 16 to l, without
waiting for the aid or consent of any other
mlttee and the conference who met with 1t
were decidedly of opinion that no candi-
date ought to be nominated for any mu-
nicipal office to be voted for at the COM
ing city election who is not unreservcdly
Tor the free coinage of gold and silver at
16 to L; and his record at the last general
election must be consistant in that respect.
For the results of the benefcent effects
that will follow upon the retirement of the
present Republican administration of the
city from place and power, and Its substi-
tuition by an administration really and
honestly reformatory in character and for
the good effect that such action will have
upon the future political contests in this
city, state and nation; Your committee
In the coming city campaign a fair and en-
thusiastic union and cooperation of all the
reform forces of our goodly city, for whose
interests and welfare we will ever labor.
and for whose prosperity we will ever pray
The report was approved and the
motion Of E. M. Card, that the COM
mfttee of fifteen should be continued,
was adopted. The committee will act
as the executive head of the union and
confer with other committees, etc.
