OF the currency question. between the Sound
Money Democratic State Convention of Wednes-
day and the Republican State Convention on
the following day. From both meetings Will go
out facts and arguments illustrating the si'ua-
ton in such way to appeal TO every think

perament. He is always exceedingly cautious
about making statements that may not be porhe
