any Question, wantto ask you not to take
the word Of Republican, advocates of-the
gold standard OF ex-Democratic advocates
oi the gold standard frr my record upon the
Soldier question. ! was in Congress four
years, and want you to read the Com
Sressional Record
You VIII not find in that record n
single evidence OF hostility To those who.
| having served their country and saved their
country thirty years ago. are ready to save
1t from foreign domination. There is no
| reason why soldier who belie.es with
| us on this paramount issue OF the cam
| paign, there is no reason why a soldier who
believes in The policy set forth In our plat
| form, should not act with us because Tn @
! interests OF the soldiers are safer with those
| who believe in "A government such as Lin
| coin desired "a government for the people
| and by the people than the interests OF
those soldiers are with those who believe
! Ia government OF syndicates, by syIdi-
| Gates and for syndicates."

"At Toledo, in thiS State. in the spring

about and is supporting the financial policy
| of Grover Cleveland. If Mr.. Cleveland was
wrong then, Mr.. Mckinley is wrong today.
| If Mr. Cleveland was right i'll 1891, then
We are right today in standing by our
| position
