sign of the fear that lay upon the ma

platform was threat against the pros

The free coinage sentiment was so
strong at that time and for a few
weeks Immediately following the con-

as the people learned the danger that
threatened under free coinage, there
was wave of opinion tending away
from the craze. The campaign was
conducted upon educational lines. The

doctrines espoused by Mr.. Bryan. There
never was a time when the people
sought the light with such fervor and
doctrines of sound money are so sim

many converts. That has been my ex-
per1eernce all through the campaign. In
Indiana we had very large and atten-

assured there was very strong free

larger and more enthusiastic than in
the states farther East If the people
IN Minnesota will turn out to hear the
sound money talks we shall give them
l have no doubt we shall be as suc
cessful as in the other states visited in
convincing them that free silver Is a
harmful hobby and one that this coun-
try will never ride.
