ing tour in Ohio yesterday. He tray
eled in private car. The first meeting
was at Montpelier, where an audience
of 5000 persons. from all parts of the

Ohio last year and then took up the
silver question. He said:
II wish TO submit some propositions
for Republicans to talk about for the
Democrats are with us 1t is only
necessary to talk 10 Republicans who
were wrong last fall, in my Judgment.
The gold standard is a bad thing for
the United States and we should not
submit to it because the fnanciers Of
Europe want it.
He said the Republican party up to

gold standard was a good thing. 1t
promised last year, he said, to do what
it could to get rid of the gold stand

dent Mckinley sent to Europe, and
said its mission had failed because the
money changers were opposed to it.

suited in the loss of thousands of lives.
