Winters-Good, sound money | principles should be maintained by the government as we'll as individuals. Not | in favor of free coinage. James A.

However, | believe business would soon be all right l if the agitation ceased Capt. T. J. Cornwell-I am in favor of | the free and unlimited coinage of silver on parity with gold. Silver has not de- preciated; the trouble is that gold has ap- ] preciated.

 | B. Clay Jones-Not in favor of free | coinage, believe in sound money. A. Wade-I am a Cleveland democrat l and believe in sound and honest money. l w B. Gere-I believe in silver being l coined as far as practicable, but not to such an extent as to depreciate our cur l rency.
 | w. T. Kennedy-I'm for silver, but I believe as President Cleveland does, that | a ratioof 16 to cannot be maintained. l l find there is general misunderstanding | among the people in regard to this ques- | tion.. The silver men imagine that every l one that is not in favor of free silver is | in favor of gold standard, which is not | true; and on the other hand those that l incline towards a gold basis, imagine all l the silver men want an exclusive silver l basis, which in most cases is also errone- ouS.
