The permanent union OF the fac.
tons OF the republican party is
now a ioregone conclusion. The
differences on the silver question
will vanish with the progress OF
republican rule before two wears
have passed The silver cause OF
the world was advanced by the
election Of Mckinley on a platform
tlvoring an international standard.
