At a Boston meeting dated July 31 1896 leaders of Massachusetts Democrats issued an address opposing the Chicago convention platform for free coinage of silver. They warn of severe wage losses and a financial panic from silver depreciation and call for delegates to the state convention who will uphold the gold standard and the Massachusetts platform of April 21 1896. They urge coordination to prevent Populist alignment and to send honest money delegates, naming a lengthy Democrat committee slate and inviting all sympathizing Democrats to contact John C. Lane.
