On Record for Gold.

Chicago, April 24.—Members of the Iroquois club, the leading democratic organization of Chicago, last night repudiated the monetary planks of the democratic national platform of 1892. They also refused to support the financial plank of the state convention of 1894. This action was taken in the face of the declarations by a number of members of the club that those voting against the monetary planks of the conventions were voting themselves out of the party. This action was taken at a special meeting of the democratic organization which had been called by those members who believed that the issuance of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 was inexpedient and for the purpose of putting the club on record on the money question.
