William v. Allen. Chairman, and Others
of the Notification Committee of the Peo-

the peoples party for the presidency of the

such generous spirit and upon such hon.

same without departing from the platform
adopted by the democratic national con-

the peoples party, who, in order to CONSOLE
date the sentiment in favor of bimetallism,
have been willing to go outside of party
lines and support as their candidate one
already nominated by the democratic party
and also by the free silver party.

they will be able to devise some means
by which the free silver vote may be con-
