Chicago, Sept. 19.-Ex-Gov. William
j. Stone, of Missouri, vice chairman of
the Democratic national committee, in
troduced this resolution at Mondays
meeting of the national executive COM
mittee and it was adopted by rising
vote:
The national committee of the demo-
cratic party, in session at Chicago to con-
slider the work of party organization pre-
paratory TO the campaign o. 1900, sends
greeting to the democracy of the nation
with the assurace that the prospect of
democratic success next year grows
brighter every day We have every rea-
son for confidence To the outcome.
tborousb orea nization ;.b r1itta anu anu
peals, therefore, to our party friends in
all states, and especially if states where
elections are to be held this year, to put
aside all local differences wherever they
exist, and support the regular tickets earn
estly and enthusiastically. keeping al
ways in view the great struggle of next
year, and remembering that in unity there
Ii strength, and in division weakness.
Especially do We appeal TO the Ken
lucky democracy to give loyal support to
the regular ticket in that state headed by
Mr.. Goebel, and thereby make sure of a
democratic victory in the state, and the
return of Senator Blackburn to the senate
of the United States.
Chairman J. G. johnson of the execu-
tive committee was vested with extra
ordinary powers and will be at the
head of the permanent executive head
quarters to be opened in this city with
in 80 days.
Chairman johnson is equally ac-
ceptable TO the Harrison and Altgeld
forces.
The three national subccnmittees-
ways and means, executive and press
were in session alternately from $50
o'clock in the morning until nearly
re o'clock in the afternoon. The fol-
lowing members were in attendance:
Executive Committee. G. Johnson,
Of Kansas; ". J. Stone, of St. Louis;
Thomas Gahan. of Illinois; J. NJ. Guff,y,
of Pennsylvania; J. NJ. Head, of Ten
nessee; III. d. Clayton, of Alabama; ".
II. Thompson, of Nebraska; George
Fred Williams, of Massachusetts,, and
I. ID. O'Brien, of Minnesota.
Ways and Means Committee-John
r. Mclean, of Ohio; Urey Woodson, of
Kentucky; Adair Wilson, of Colorado,
snd j. g. johnson, of Kansas.
Press Committee-Clark Howell, of
Georgia; J. G. Johnson, of Kansas, and
C. y. Walsh, of Iowa.
chusetts, said the annual democratic
convention at Boston, Thursday, would
elect delegates to the next national
convention.
John II. Mclean, chairman of the
ways and means committee and demo-
cratic candidate for governor of Ohio,
sharply questioned the propriety of
any state naming its delegation to the
national convention nine months be-
fore the convention is to be held. at
s;lvors too much of snap Judgment he
said.
The business transacted by the three
committees consisted almost exclusive
ly of investing Chairman Johnson with
power to assume command of all the
departments of the national organiza-
ton. The executive committee en-
powered him to establish headquarters
in the Unity building and set on foot
such schemes of organization, manage
ment and supervision as may, in his
Judgment, appear feasible and neces-
sary.
The press committee authorized Mr.
johnson to assume immediate control
of the press bureau and National Bull
Ietin. This places Editor Devlin under
Mr. Johnson's orders, and eventually
will enable him to select Devlin's sue
cessor.
Chairman Johnson's present inten-
ton is to call frequent meetings of the
executive committee and meetings c.
the other committees whenever lie
thinks they ought to gather for the
transaction Of business. The executive
committee will meet at least once ev-
cry 80 days.
The first work the new chairman
will undertake will be the unifying OF
party organizations in localities where
there are divisions.
The report of General Manager Cook
showed that the subscriptions to tie
ways and means committee amount to
about S1oO, 600, most of which probably
will be collected before March 1. 1900
The actual cash BALI nee of the commit
tee. bcVeveT, is sms II.
