Legislative record ON that point has nntur'

stands. As amatter of fact he voted for
the original Bland free coinage bill Itself

accented the Allison amendments, MS
Bland himself and the other silver men
did, as the best they coud get for their
policy ut that time, The issue was as well
defined and understood then us il is nov,
and the effects of free coinage were just
as palpnble The major then did not act
in the dark; and besides he had General
Garfield in the house and Secretary Sher
man and President Hayes, all from his
own state and party, pointing out to him
the exact character of the legislation he
supported All this would of course be
overlooked had Mckinley, up "a the time
of the opening of the present campaign
ever done or said anything to indicate
change of view but his whole course
since then has only been cenfrmatory of
that position. He is therefore in no very
defensole position to maintain the none
