of history. You will recollect that in youH
speeches at the market house in Columbus. 10
1910, in a debate with Gov. CegVin, when
speaking of bank reform, you said that the evils
Of the present system were SO deep and so ex-
tensve that any reform to be perfect, must be
long in its accompshment-you said, possibly
twenty years. In your third epistle, now un-
der consideration, you say that from 1885 to
to 184l, the democratic party have gone into
every eectoneerng campaign with bank re-
form on their lips space ofseven years. and
that is t.oo more than truth and correct history
would warrant Five years is the true period
when bank reform fairly opened, and yet you
