The recent letter of ex-President Cleveland
in opposition to the bill now pending in Con-
gress for the free coinage of silver has created
quite stir among our local politicians and led
to several interesting discussions on the SUBJ
ject. Since the agitation of the subject in Con-
gress the democratic party Of the county has
been somewhat divided, q portion justifying
the course OF Senator German in voting for the
free coinage bill and a very large number JUS
tifying the course of Senator Wilson in voting
against it. As general thing the bill is con-
demned by those who experienced the great
evils and hardships experienced during the late
war through an inflated currency and they are
loud in their denunciati0ns Of those who are
trying to again inaugurate such q state OF af-
fairs. large majority of the people of this
county are in favor of the dollar that will buy
dollar worth of anything they want.
