Hon. James M. Turner, mayor of Lam
sing, who was defeated for governor some
years ago by the late Ex-Governor Winans,
spoke on Tuesday evening before the free

in other cities were working. He believes
it is the duty of the present generation to
fright the wrong of '73" by remonitzng
silver, and thinks it will be brought about
in 1896 but not by either of the old parties.

the speech and will probably have another
