come out fatty for Mckinley
The Democratic papers Of this city also
divided on this question Some Of them held
that the duty Of sound-money Democrats was to
surrender party allegiance for principles of such
paramount Importance. fearing lest the d.
vision of strength might :mperil the cause Of
honest money.
