pleas of economy have been put

schools have never had the support
they deserved; they have never stood

good work. They have had good
officials, who have secured results
far beyond the expense incurred.

There is some probability that the

why it should shirk this matter now

The country will now proceed to
get down to business after several
years of silver panic for which the
Republicans had no small share in
bringing about. 1t was only by
strenuous efforts that gold plank
was inserted i'm the st. Louis plat
form, though Mckinley was ready
to stand upon whatever was put up,
and the party has avoided decisive
action on the silver question more
than once. But the free silver
issue is out of the way and in the
general restoration of confidence al
ready felt there seems to be nothing
to prevent an unparalleled industrial
revival. This is what the people
voted for and it is coming.
