of Stewards amendments for free coinage He
was not willing TO have it go to the country
and the world that the amendment was sim
ply an effort by representatives of the silver
States, and that the rest Of the country was
Indifferent to the result. There was not q sill
yer mine within the limits Of tho great COM
monwealth of kentucky, and yet he ventured
to assert that her people were as united, earn
est, as honest, and as clamorous in their
demand for the free coinage OF silver as were
the people of Colorado, California, Idaho or
Nevada. The opponents OF free coinage might
rely ON the veto power of the President but

nounced the anti-silver policy of every ad-
ministration for the past twenty years. It did
not matter to him that his own party was, for
