SUSPECTED OF FREE-CoINAGE TENDENCIES.
Among the members of the New-York Stock Ex-
change and the men who operate largely In stocks
without actually going the floor Of the Exchange
as members. the money question Is made almost a
supreme issue in their choice of Presidential
candidate. Many of them declare that they do not
much care who the candidates are, so long they
are outspoken and pronounced hard-money men. A
number of stock brokers who usually have voted the
Democratic ticket declared that they would surely
vote for a sound-money Republican candidate
against q Democratic candidate who could be sus-
pected Of leaning toward free-sver coinage.
number Of the members Of the Stock Exchange said
that they favored Governor Morton a Presi-
Dental candidate because he had been outspoken on
