added TO that, they would have the
still further question OF maintain,

and insisting that the stamp Of the govern

maintained in all its integrity, and that
every dollar of the white metal, which has
the stamp of the government upon 1t, shall
be the equivalent of 100 cents in coin of any
country with which we have commercial
relations.
Finally Mr. Hopkins predicted a sweep
ing Republican victory, spoke OF that diplo-
matte genius of Blaine, and declared that
whoever was named at Minneapolis would
be the next President of the nation.

dent Harrison and Secretary Blaine. The
remaining temporary officers were then
selected. Various committees were also
selected and it was decided to refer all res
olutions and communications affecting the
