placed himself on record against
free coinage. The third party
would then be confronted by the
horns Of a dilemma. Probably
they would have ticket Of their

S 'nator Carlisle expressed the
opinion that free silver bill
would pass the next Congress,
and that President Harrison will
be greatly embarrassed by it. ''As
regards the Democratic candidate,
Mr.. Cleveland, in my judgment, is
still the strongest. He may have
offended the extreme pro silver
