VI course MS pOllcV. Only some OF
the states will declare for free silver.
Therefore it will be argued that the
party is committed to what all in
dorsed-that is, single gold stand

states where trouble about securing
such Endorsement is anticipated

that but in many places they are in
open revolt against such unwarrsnted
assumption of power by the local
bosses. In many places independent

into the republican camp in 1872, by
their support of Horace Greedy. Thai
