The applause that greeted the Gov
ernor when he stepped forward was
prolonged, and his remarks through

said, should there be free coinage of
silver at the ratio of Is to 1. or should

amended and adopted by a unanimous

Speaker to Washington as the express

1871 Sherman had written that he fa-

bonds had ever been made payable in
gold coin alone, and the speaker would
