velOpment Of the political situation

sort to reason and cool judgment IN

srise To place 10 nomination gen
tleman whose name was not mentioned
10 the caucus. He 10 a Republican, tired
and true. and the veteran of veterans
among the RspubIIcan bimetallists OF
the Pacific coast. II bimetallism is an
issue iD TIE Republication Of today the
man who has eontended for seventeen
years for free silver as money for pur'
poses Of ultimate redemption is entitled
70 our consideration.
The candidate present is DOT bali
way, gold-plated silver man, but a man
who believes ia silver through and
through. and Furthermore q man who
believes the Republican party Is the
only party that can and will give the
pecp OF this country a safe, sound and
conservative financial system on q bi-
metallic basis. a man who has be-
lieved and advocated bimetallism from
the Republican standpoint for seven
teen years.
The gentleman presented for your
favorable consideration, and 1t is done
entirely without bis knowledge, Is a
Republican who was nominated and
elected to a position Of great honor and
political importance without the en-
ployment Of q particle Of machinery to
bring It about, and he was elected by

date e'fOr that office-I refer TO our hon
orsble secretary Of state, Harrison r.

PrOhibitionists, a man who has won
the esteem and confidence of his neigh

disinierested service has endeared him
self 10 the people Of this entire state.
He Is "a man whose very presence In
our state government is a guaranty
that no corruption nor iobbery shall be
practIced Ia any public matter 10
which he represents the people.
