of bimetallism. The repeal OF the SHEER
man act two years ago. he said. had ac-
complished more than any other infiu-

for silver. We are now observed the
world over. Mr.. Grosvenor's speech pre-
cipitated a stir among the silver men
who all rushed forward and appealed
for recognition. Mr.. Bryan OF Nebras
