VIM. Alden Smith. who replied (9) to
Towne last Thursday night, has been called
In by the congressional committee and
ordered to study the financial question for a
week. Reporter.
The above falsehood probably originated
from dispatch in Wednesdays Detroit
Tribune. 1t is effectively answered by the
following:
To the editor the Detroit Tribune: The
congressional committee are highly pleased
with the speeches of Congressman William
Alden Smith. Tim. Tarsney told me this
af ternoon that the young congressman from
the fifth confined his joint discussions close
ly to the financial question, and was one Of
the best speakers he had ever met.
If you have any free silver speakers
whom you desire to present against him,
send them over, they will be readily accom-
modated. The thousands of people who
hear Congressman Smith each day, are pre-.
pairing to vote down your candidate. Please
give this as much prominence as you did
the cheap falsehood this morning. Oblige.
l.. K. BISHOP.
Chairman republican congressional commit

Congressman Smiths address in Owosso
ratified the enemy badly.
