was composed OF the Hardware Mems Sound
Money club OF Reading, Pa. for whom Major
J. II. Kenny az rrading served as Spokes-
man and railroa3 mon and others frcm the
Rock Island country in Illinois, for whom
u ID. Sweeny spoke. In reply, Major Nc
Kinley recalled the first platform OF the re-
publican part written in 1855 and said that
every promise Of that platform had been
kept rom that day to this.

acted as Spokesman. In his address to the
Louisville delegation, Major Mckinley said:
II cannot refrain from congratuating the
men here assembled, republicans and dem
ocrats, on the signal victory they achieved

upon the lines of the present national cam

question of whether the free and unlimited
coinage of silver should receive the approval
Of the people OF Kentucky or whether the
present monetary standard and financial sys-

rendered in that memorable campaign will be
repeated this year with even greater and

OF the government commands almost uni.
Versal praise. II Is a singular fact, gentle

make no assault against the republican doc.
