Mckinley and Hobart

Mckinley and Hobart are the noml-
ness Of the Republican convention. NC
kinlev has held his peace upon lne
currency question, but his nomination Is
var. satisfactory to free silver repuoh
cans. They will swallow the gold
nlatf.rm for the sake of the candidate
and the gold men will swallow ''e
candidate for the sake OF the platform =
The election of the ticket is reasonao'!
certain. unless the democrats by wise
connsels. at Chicago, abandon the free
silver doctrine so strongly enunciatea
bv the Virginia convention and adopt
resolutions upon the currency quesuo"
which will unite the party.
With a good platform and candidates
who aie in perfect harmony with 1t, the
democrats have the opportunity OF en-
tering upon a canvass with fa''erlns
promises of success.
The candidate for Nice-Preslueh'
npon the republican ticket stands
.ouarely upon the platform Of his party
His life has been closely identified with
many of the large corporations ana he
is very acceptable to the momed powers
OF the east.

The wrongs that have been heaped

The wrongs that have been heaped
upon silver since 1873 are enough TO
draw tears from wooden man. just
think of it. In 1873, there was no silver
I'm circulation. The government had
coined altogether about 100000 stand
ard dollars which for obvious reasons
were not in circulation. Since 1878,
the goverumest has coined over sl2S'-
OOo. 900, which are Unlimited legaltende
and OF which over 3S5, 900, 900, are in
circulation either in coin or by silver
certificates representing silver coin.
These are facts. At the time the alleg-
ed great crime was committed there was
no silver in circulation, now as appears
above there is nearly slOO, OOO,OOO OF
silver in circulation. Is it possible that
people can be deceived by such wac
die?
