Mr.. Wharton Barker Of Philadelphia
was invited to make an address and
said the battle ground was in the east.
Pennsylvania now seems ready to de-
clare for free coinage, but the adjoining
states stood sorely in need of the gospel

coinage within the ranks of the republi-
can party and in case of failure would
use his influence in favor of it, for the
party that favored free silver prospect

of the Manufacturers Club of Philadel-
phia declared for silver and gold. If
