The plan of organization recommended by the committee whs then outlined to thecon-f'-nmce as follows: "Ldh-viug that a large majorty of the D-tiio-ratf voters of the United Htates are n harmony with tho sentiments expressed in the foregoing address, and knowing that a full and fre expression of their views can b" ascertained and effective through proper organized effort?, wo recommend the fol lowing as a plan of organization: 'Tird.

"Third. That said national committee shall have full control and direction of the pat i lot ie effort of tho Li metallic Demo crats ot the nation to secure in the next Deuio' iatic convention the maintenance of the tim-'-honorcd principles and policies of the Democratic parly, and when the nation al committee herein provided for is not in s" , jon the executive committee shall have a I the authority and discharge all the duties hereby conferred upon the national com mit "Fouith. It shall be the duty of the na tional committeeman from each State, im mediately after his appointment, to take steps as he may deem best to organize thebi meta'di" forces in his State, and it is earnest ly recommended that in each county and el". tin precinct of each State bi-metallic Democratic clubs be organized, and for the purpose he may appoint such committees and canvassers as he may deem best. "Fifih. That fully realizing the faot that this nor any other plan of organization can be successful without the hea rty co-opera -tion of th 1 voter: themselves, we urge upon every voter in every State in the union who is ia sympathy with this movement, and who wishes to restore permanent prosperity to his home and country, to lend his aid and influence to perfecting this organization, and that each of thern shall enrol! himself io such clubs." OUTLOOK FOR TKADIO. Kevicw of the Speculative and Staple Markets for the Week. It. (i. Dun A Co., of New York, say in tln ir review of trade: U is a belated season; a frozen May set everything back. The heavy business whi'-h ought to have Leen done in May and June was pushed into July, so that tic mid-summer deebne in July comes in Acgu-.f. With this in mind, one isi ot supriscd to find the shrinkage from July to August rather more eonsnicuous than usual. The disappointing oop reports -ot last Saturday, thocgh evidently distrusted, lessen confidence in rera'd to the finife f trade, 'ven whi'e some specu'a'or.s gain bv them.

N. SENATOR TILLMAN AT CONCORD. FISKE SILVER HIS TIIE3IK . ON THAT OCCASION. There Must He a Free Silver Preel dent, and If He Cannot Oet a Dem ocrat a I'opulist Will Do. Tiilmm nnd Mirioa Lutler rpoke to a crowl of about 3.000 Topulis's at Concord, N. C, on Tuesday. Tillman sai 1 he wanted : a free siivr I'r. sident, from the Democratic i part v if Ie co-.l.J g. t him, but if not, ev-n ' from tie' r i iksof PopulL-tn . in ppito of its : craf.y ba l-rs an J cra.;y notiou-J. Lutlersaid ; patriotism i::u.,t be pl.f-ed above partisan- ship- . v' ii aoove I'opulh rn in placing aa ! hon-r t fr " . iher man in tic White H-jn.se. ! A't'T an introduction by Mr. M. II. Cald- j well Tdlman was gre t d with ioud cheer- I mu'. I he S..'uth Carolinian said he was glad to cn.e from the North, reeking with' slav -ry and corruption, to be with his people in the South, poor but honest. ."We down her - an- locally free, hut nationally slaves."' The D ii-o rati" party so long held together in the South by tho fear ot negro domina tion, w.i.i disintegrating, because there was no loii ..er apprehension from that cause, but !imv i.-sues were coming to the front. Tho great livid ahead i. how to keep down pov erty and that oppression w hich consist-I in making money f'r some other man to enjoy. 'Jh" financial conditions were such s to favor the Northca.-tcrn section of tic coun try. Th" Democratic party stood pledged to right "the ( rim-of 1K73," the demoneti zation of silver, and pledged to free silver, LiU when we had a map rity in both bouses there was a President's veto in tho way, and so !!" crime of 1S73 remains unrighb.il. Th Ii pnbbcnn party was the tool of the money po-r. The DMi . ratio party had always I--ii committed to Mm.'talli.sm, but when it did not fulfil its pIclKcs the Alliance amo along and taught that we Would no longer stand by Democracy unless it did some thing. Tne speaker blarn"d the free silver "re form"' lenient in the other Southern Stat' .i for not capturing the D'.'ino'-ratic machinery in the Stat", as was done in South Carolina. Th" Alliance and polk had the Democratic, party in North Carolina in their bree. hes pocket, but you went out and lost. Dut th s. li ! South was broken up in the last elec tion. JarVis and Hansom went over the Slate trying to catch the Snatorship, but this young man ("pointing to Butler) cooned up a tree, ot the persimmon and away ho went. (Great applause.) But with the breaking of the solid South came the break ing of the solid North. I ll stand by tho Democracy if it purifies itself, but I II never follow thieves and rascals. It is the duty of the people to consider carefully the financiail issue and to follow where their interests lead them. Tho el l Puritans and their descendants, acting on the principle that the wotl 1 was created for the saints, and we are the saints, had gov erned this country long enough. Mr. Tillman then went into a long discus sion of what money is. Carlisle says that law cannot affect the value of a metal. That statement is absurd. Talk about fiat money, liol l isa.-i much Hat money as any other, and because the law makes it so, aud silver bullion can t be carried to the mint and coiued i ius gold, simply because the law for bids it. The old arguments of the silver men were gone over, that prices fell because of striking down silver, that silver was demonetized by a sneaking legislation in 1873, that the panic of '73 was th" result. Tho national bank question was discussed. The speaker asked if Government bonds were so good, why was not a little fiat paper good too? The bonds themselves were fiat, he said, nothing but a promise to pay. Paper is not a desirable in vest ment , say the gold bugs. Ah, that is where the shoe pinches. Cleveland and Carlisle came in for abuse for arranging the last bond issue aud letting L'ugl and dictate the terms of it. There is ic t enough money in the country. Metallic money has been stricken down and until we get it ba-k we will suck the hind teat that has got ne milk in it. ( Laughter and ap plause.) Democratic politicians howled for a long time about the tariff iniquity. Did Cleveland call Congress together to repeal tic high tariff or to repeal the Sherman law? What is to be done? Can tho Democrats of the South and the populists of tho West get together? Will they let hvgones be by gones and light together against Wall street? W" have only eighteen months to work, and if desirable men of all parties don't como t -getherin that time we will have our hands fa-ie.i'd in sha.klcs. We wiU have gold l oiids force! on us, aud be ti'l hand aud toot for a generation. Id w'mld work to have hi- State put out an election ticket wlii- h would cast its vote for a dyed-in-the-wool silver man. A man east of the Missis sippi would .!. Western Republicans hate the nun" of Democrats. Southern Demo crats hateth.enanie of Republican. Wcan't join the populist party because you have too many cranks at your head. We are here to con.-ider how to g'd to gether. If we in South Carolina cauT get a silver man for President in the Democratic I arty, w may have to take one from the P.'pubt party. I would rather have l'opu 1 -in with its cranky leaders than to follow th" fa!"" leaders in the old party, who have proved traitors. North Carolina is over win liiiingly for silver as South Carolina is. They must stand together. Their interests are i.b'iiti 'al. Tillman spoke about two hours and was followed by Senator Butler, of North Car olina who ma le a free silver speech of the same length. For Women and Children. The Connecticut Legislature, which re cently adjourned, passd s"vera pis in the inten-st of women and children. Th age limit for the employment of children isra:.-e.J from 13 to It years, and compulsory edti na tion to the age of 11 is pre n,d . Children under lrt must not be admitted to dance houses, concert saloons, roller-skating rinks or variety halls unb-.-s accompanied by parents or guardians. Tho inVrert of a sur vivingj husband or wife ia the etat of the other (there Iteiiig no children) is ma !e r 2. f00 absolutely :il one h ilf the remainder. I It is made unlawful for imbeciles ,,r insane i or feeble-minded jcrsons to a-sum-or maiu I lain' martial relations, but thfs docs not aj I ply to x rsons already married. An effort j. to'oxtend woman suffrage t all l--al elec tions failed, as did the s lit me to deprive I women of tho right to vote ia chool dis I trict meetings. The Lookout IVes.

The Auditor Declines to Approve Gen. Ransom's Account. Hon. Matt W. Ransom, of North Carolina, Is no longer minister of the United fjtato to Mexico. That office was practically declarel Tacant Friday by a decision reudered by Mr. Holmes Conrad, Solicitor General of the United States and Acting Altorny General Mr. Ransom's inenrubeney was deiared tu bo contrary to the Federal constitution, and tba- ling Attorney tlenral sustained the ac tion of Mr. Thomas Holeomb, Auditor of tha Treasury for tli State Department, In de clining to pass fav raMyupon M-. llansoin'i vouchers for salary and expenses. The decision of the acting Attorney Gen end was based on a question raised by Auditor Holcomb as to to the legality of Mr. Ransom appoinsmeut to the Mexican mission, m iew of the exittence of section 2, article 6, of the constitution, which declares thaf'no Henaioror Repiesentative shall, during tha time for whc!i he was eleete.1, be appointed to auy civil ofllco under the authority of tho United States which shall have been created, or the emoluments whereof shall bay b"en inerea-ed during such time." This jrovision apparently fitted the case of Mr. Ransom for he was nomi nated by President Cleveland and con firmed by the Senate before his term of office as Senator of North Carolina had expired, and during that term the salary of the Mexi- "" miMdou had been increased 5,000 a year. Soon after Mr. Hansom's appointment to the Mexican mission there was considerable discussion in tho newspapers and among public men as to whether his incumbency of the office was legal. The matter was con sidered informally by the President and members of the cabinet, but as no formal question on the subject whs raised by any officer of the government, the status of Mr. Ransom was not impaired. So far as can be ascertained Mr. Ransom continued to draw his salary of $17,500 a year, but it was only recently that Auditor Holcomb, when he came to pass upon the accounts, found him self unable to decide whether he could ap prove tho payment of Mr. Ransom's salary, in view of the fact that be had been a mem ber of the Senate when it was increased. The matter was accordingly submitted to th attorney general for an opin'on. The decision rendered to-day by the acting Attorney General also disposes of another matter in which Mr. Ransom was pecuniarily interested. Nearly thre months ago he re turned to the United States quite ill, having obtained sixty days leave of absence. lie spent most of the time recuperating In tho North Carolina mountains and then obtained an additional leave of thirty days. Under the regulations of the diplomatic service, Mr. Ransom was entitled to sixty davs an nual leave and to thirty days sick leave ad ditional, a total of ninety days. There is no provision for a further extension for any reason and diplomatic or consular oflkers who have exceeded this quota, have not re ceived pay for the period they remained away from their posts. Mr. Ransom's nine ty days are nearly up and Iat week fie cam" to Washington to ascertain if bis continued ill health would secure for him a further extension with pay. That question was not disposed of and there is now no necessity for an opinion on it, in Mr. Ransom's case, at least, .as the acting Attorney General's decis ion disposes of everything relating to his emoluments. Mr. Ransom was elected to the Senate in 1872, and served continuously from April 24th of that year until February 23rd. 185, when his nomination to the Mexican misaiou was sent to the Senate and iimnediatelv con firmed by that body, and until the 4th of March, when his term expired and his com mission as minister to Mexico wass:trned by the President. He was a memter of the Sen ate when the diplomatic and consular appro priation bill was passed, which contained a provision raising the por-t of minister to Mex ico from a mission of the second class to a mission of the first chiss. and increasinir the salary of the office from 1 12,500 to 17,500 a year. It is due to Mr. Ransom's occupancy of a seat in the Senate ehamler at that time that he if to-day without an office and that he is technically a debtor to the government for the amount of salary he has drawn since assuming his diplomatic post. Whether or not he voted in favor of the increase is of no consequence-, the fa.-t that he was a mmlir of the Senate when it parsed the diplomatic and consular bill as stated, operated against him in holding in a leal rrannr any Federal civil office "which shall have en" treated, or the emoluments whereof shall have "w.en inerc.-wd" during th tim for which b was He-ted S-maior.
