Keeling It duo to the members of thp people's rxirty to outline the objects of this call , we submit the following : We recommend the -holding of a na tional nominating convention on the first Wednesday In April , 1893. Wo recommend the holding of state conventions , at which delegates to the na tional convention shall be chosen , on the third Wednesday In March , 1S9S. We recommend that the platform on congressmen bo delayed until niter the holding of the national convention. "We recommend that the platforms on which the contest for 1E9S nnd 1900 be waged should embody the folowlng propo sitions : 1.

SATISFIED WITH 1..YTE ni Gold Democratic Xutlniinl Committee INVIICM an AiliIrcHH. NEW YORK , Nov. . 24. W. D. "Byniim " , chairman of the national democratic commlt- tee , has Issued the following address : To the National Democracy : The re sults of tbe recent * election jyere In no wise discouraging to the suc cess of the principles for which the na tional democratic party has been battling. The silver organisations lost the states of Ohio and Maryland , with the legislatures , which will choose United States senators. In Kentucky the silver .candidate hud n majority of only 123 , with 0,000 electors , n majority of whom were unquestionably for sound money , not voting' . " The national democratic vote of the state was twice as large aa It was last year , while the loss In the free silver vote was 10,000. In Iowa the democratic sound money vote was doubled , notwithstanding the candi dates abandoned that issue nnd pleaded for support on state matters. The sound money vote in both Kentucky and 'Iowa would undoubtedly have been much larger had it not been for the facts that all the local candidates for county offices appeared on the ballots under the free silver state tickets and emblems , thereby compelling sound money electors to scratch their tick ets or vote the free silver state ticket , in order to vote for local ofllrers. In Massachusetts our vote was Increased 25 per cent , whllo that of the free silver candidate was reduced the same ratio. In Nebraska the free silver majority was reduced , while South Dakota deserted the cause. The efforts of the national democratic or- ennlzfltlon last year were to aid in the Rav ing of the credit of the nation from dis honor. Its mission In the future will be , If possible , to preserve the true principles of democracy until Judgment nnd reason shall asaln dominate the councils of the party and Its ancient creed be restored to Its plat form. Then , nnd not until then , will the work of the national democracy bo accom plished , and Its organization cease to be an Independent one. The firmer the convictions , and the bolder the courage , of tlia national damocrats , the sooner will the country be free from the blighting Influences of Impending disaster. No compromise with dishonor , no surrender of principle to expediency is the shibbo leth of the national democracy , and each and every member of the party should stand by hi * convictions and redouble Ills efforts to uphold the principles he believes to bo Indispensable to the preservation of the rights and properties of the people.
