PASADENA

r. w. Green-I stand on the declara-
tfon of the Republican platform, the
same that we've had for the past tWen-
ty-five years.
Charles A. Smith, am for the single
gold standard.
w. H. Wiley-I don't think the money
question will split the Republican party.
Judge Weed-I am a thorough Repub-
lican, and approve the platform with
the single exception of the gold plank.
That cannot approve.
H. J. Vail am in favor of a gold
dollar worth 100 cents, and no more-a
silver dollar worth 100 cents,and no less;
a paper currency equivalent to both and
in lieu of both. All money to be issued
by the government, and legal tender
in all sums receivable and payable for
all debts, public and private; except
duties on imports. The reason of this
exemption is that our Indebtedness
abroad is payable in gold, therefore COM
pei them to pay their import duties IN
gold; then hand them back their gold
to pay our Indebtedness. If 1t were made
reasonable to discriminate between
gold and silver or any other kind of
money there would be a tendency to ap-
preciate or depreciate any kind of gov
ernment currency. / am in favor Of the
free coinage of gold and silver, but linn
tied to American product.
Col Hartwell-I am not in favor of
free coinage of silver. but do believe
in coming a certain amount per month.
w. r. Staats-In am in favor Of the
gold standard
C. ]. Willett-I was a member Of the
last Democratic county convention
which adopted free silver plank and
voted for the same.
T. p. Lukens-I am silver man, but
don't think we can afford to force the is
sue by adopting free coinage Of silver
on the basis of 16 to !.
John McDonald-I think the stand
taken by the Republican party as stated
in it's platform is the right statement of
the money question.
John s. Cox-I am willing to abide by
the decision Of congress on the money
question, and don't think Mckinley
would veto whatever legislation con-
.gress might enact on the money question
even though it might be free silver.
George f. Kernaghan-I am heartily
in favor of the st. Louis platform.
H. r. Hertel-There ought to be an
international agreement on the money
question.
]. r. Greer-Both metals should be
used, but l am decidedly against free
silver
G. C. Brown-Free silver confined to
the United States expresses my idea.
Samuel Weight-Free silver
Joe Simons-This is not what would be
termed political fight, but the great
southern and western country against
the gold plutocracy of the east. 1 am
for free silver
Webster Wotkyns-1 am for the DEM
ocratic ticket.
T. c. Lynch-Free and unlimited COIN
age of silver and the Democratic ticket

age Of silver.
David Reynolds-Free coinage Of sill
yer.
T. c. Bolt-I am in favor of the double
standard just as soon as we can adopt
1t safely.
Judge Hester-I don't believe in free
silver. 1 think it would only run all the
gold out of the country.
Edwin Stearns-The stand taken on
the money question is, in my opinion,
the only defect in the Republican plat
form. At the same time don't believe
in free silver.
w. S. Gilmore-Free silver is all right

at large. Any party that adopts it will
get left.

country will be better served by main

free silver, unless with an International

money platform with sufficient amount
of silver for the needs of the country.
A Munger-I have always been Re-
publican, but I favor free coinage of sill
yer.
George w. Marshall-Have been a Re-
publican all my life but favor free COIN
age of silver.
Conrad & Hotaling-We are bimetal-
lists. Free coinage of silver If confined
to the productions of the mines of our
own country would be all right, in our
judgment.
M. H. Wright have favored free
coinage of silver for THE past seven years
and do still, although am Republican
