uncalled for suspicion. Nor has this
criticism and suspicion been confined to
me, but it has been extended to all the
members of the committee and of the ex-
ecutive, who heretofore have opposed the
free coinage of silver. This unremitting
fault-finding has so handicapped and
crippled the committee as almost to dis
qualify it from doing efficient work. Per-

Mr.. Holt also read the resignation of

that he could not bring himself to the

dent to resign as a member of the COM
