plause.g George Stone, W. E. Fisher and

B. Fehnemann, under the head of the
good of the party, called attention to the

gold to pay off their Indebtedness. Thus
the burden will fall on the debtor class.
There will be two prices to everything one
wants to buy-one in gold and another in
silver"
Judge Waymire denied that the Repub-
