The Republicans can make history repeat
itself this year. Bland, as a later Pendleton,
will go to the national Democratic conven-
ton as the advocate of free silver coinage.
and will have a large element OF his party
with him in this later movement for repudia-
ton. The masses OF tie Republican party
are sound on this issue. They are sick of
'straddles' and lodges" They are tired
of the deceptive talk about "bimetallism."
They are ready &c welcome as clear and
emphatic a declaration for national honesty
as was adopted by their party In 1865. Upon
such q declaration. and with a candidate
who can be trusted upon this issue as Inn
p,icitly as Grant showed that he could be
trusted. the Republicans can sweep the
country. The road 10. prosperity for party
and for country is a plain one. HE serves
his party best who serves his country BEST
The Republicans found this TO be the case
in 1868. 1t viii prove. as true in 1896.
