They claimed out of the l 1 dis trict mcmhrrs uf the committee on rcSolu- tionS but the administration men claim that the committee stood to 3 originally against free silver, and as completed g tO f.
 The complexion of this committee could not have been ChanSvd by the appoint mrnt of both members at large from the silVCritrs, but when Judge William Beck ncr as temporary chairman, divided the members at largr giving one of tho two to each side, the silver men felt that they had been nutclas5cd, although they would not confess to being Outnumhcrcd.
 They claimed victory in the election pf B,vkncr over stone but after the for mcr divided the appointments equally on all the CommittVts and announced his con svrvatiNC views n0 claims were made on him. Stone would have appointed only sound money men on the committees. Judge BrcknCr iS a sound money man. but favored General Hardin for s-ovcrnur Although General Hardin favurs free coinage, he has been supported through out hy many who insist on a sound mon ry platform for him.

 Senator Blackburn aSpirvd tn the chair man>hip nf this committee and expected tO have a majority of it's members with him for free cunagr ard against ClCvc- land and Carlisle.
