A call, signed by well-known Anti-Monopolists from all parts of the country, for a Delegate Conference for the formation of a new party, was issued at Chicago on Friday last. The conference will be held on the 4th of July, on the basis of four representatives from each Congressional District, four from each Territory and four from the District of Columbia. The principles enunciated in the call are opposition to confederated monopoly, public lands for actual settlers, suppression of corners in the necessaries of life, opposition to the protective tariff, and to favor the election of President, Vice President and Senators by a direct vote. The call is signed by the following Californians: F. W. Hamilton, President of the Anti-Monopoly Club of San Francisco; John T. Doyle, Menlo Park, Cal.; Dr. George Houston, President Anti-Monopoly League of California; Almarin G. Paul, Horace Adams, Moses G. Cobb, Robert Wilson, Alvin C. Turner, San Francisco, and 70 others.

The following declaration, the endorsement of which will be very general, accompanies the call:
"Believing that a crisis, forced by the power of organized greed, is approaching, not alone in our national affairs, but in civilization itself, we appeal to the freemen of America to organize themselves anew to stand again as they and their fathers have stood before, for the rights of man and the dignity of human nature."
