the state. While conscious of the fact
that in many respects have been far from
infallible, and may have erred in judg-
ment, yet can truly say that have
always aimed to be fair and Just, and to
snbserve what eofceiyeu tb BE for the
highest public good have aimed to be
conservative, to keep within the beaten
paths of law and precedent, and to avoid
all that savors of jingoism. Il have felt
that if any radical change, any new line of
public policy was to be inaugurated, it
should come from the people, through the
Legislative departmeliti and NIT through
the executive. If am again elected gov
efnor, shall be guided by these principles
and shall aim to serve the state to the

The demonstration of silver in 1873 is
an obsolete fact, too remote to have any
bearing on present conditions. When sill
yer was demonetized in 1878, it was, and
for nearly half a century had been, >prac-
tically out OF circulation. Our only eiEcu-
lating medium from 1862 up to the time
we resumed specie payment in 1879 was
paper, and nearly year before such re
sumption, silver was duly remonetized
under the act of 1873 Since 1872 silver has
gradually deprecated in value, chiefly
from two causes: The almost unanimous
demonstration of the same in Europe,
and the largely increased production
thereof Throughout the world. During all
these years. since 1878, aside from India,
the United States have been the best
friend the silver has had From 1878 I'm.
til 1890, we purchased and coined silver
bullion to the extent of over S24, OOO. 900 an
nually, and from 1880 to 1893 we pur-
chased silver bullion and issued paper cur
rency thereon, to the extent of 100000
ounces annually. And today we are car
rying upwards of s525, OOO, 600 of silver in
our circulation, as against s66O, OOOO Of
