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.
