IarIy Trite Letter, which He Ad-
dresses Chiefly 10 His Repub-
ncan Free silver Frieuds.
7 Mr.. Editor: / see through the press f
the state that there is a disposition on the
part Of some disgruntlgd individuals
who term themselves Free Silver. Ru-
publican s." to put up an independent
state ticket What for? Can anybody
tsnY Have not the Democrats In ohio
endorsed the Chicago Tl.tf1ru2 Do
they net now advocate exactly the same
principles that MIR Bryan advocated on5
year agoP In short, was there ev5r a
convention held in Ohio or any other
state so thorough ly and unanimously N
bued with any principle as was this
Democratic state convention with the free
and unlimited coinage Of both gold and
silver at tie ratio Of 10 TO /?
Why did you leave your CID party and
join the party Of reform uulsss i5 was
for the object of reform?
If the national Democratic party was
right last fall then the Democratic party
in Ohii is right this fall.
You know, nv Silver Republican,
that you can gain nothing for the cause
of bimesallism by separating from the
party that has espoused the cause, and
setting up housekeeping for yourself.
You can at best only weaken the cause
and give encouragement to party that
you ignored last fall because Of its mono
metallism. Now be oandid did you
join the new party for the sake Of enolu-
ments only? And are you not little sick
because the "losvss and fishes" did not
fall in your back yard:
II not, why not?
When you left the cid Whig and Demo
crstio parties in 1860 and j'ir ed tne re-
form party under tte leadership Of the
Immortal Lincoln, did you in 1861 turn
around and form a ticket for Demo
cratic Fr5s SJil ticket, because in the
short space of one year the slaves Of the
south we're not set free? No you gave
your money and your time, and many of
you Tiskei your lives that o free and in
dependent government might he main
taired.
Yet this would have been Ist Gs con-
sistent as to desert the Democratic ship
at this time.
Great reforms are not accomplished in
a day, but there never has been re-
form NOV ement that bas grow with such
rapidity aud made such gigantic strides
as this reform of our currency and that,
too, in a peaceable way, without the she'd
ding Of blood
No one WIS 3 more ardent partisan
than have been ever sinc3 cast my first
presidential vote for Abraham Lin
coin, and l never left the old ship until
it got so completely under the control of
pirates tnat l could no longer live
in her hull, and last fall Joined the rev
feet under the leadership OF that gallant
captain, william Jennings Bryan, and
intend to remsin with it so long as he or
any Of his tried lieutenants are at the
helm. never asked for promotion in
the old ship and never received it., yet
1 was al ways on deck and at nv post.
Now 1T me say to all my Frte Silver
Republicans friends, stand by the cause
which you so heroically espouse7, ana
this year of our Lord, 1897, will see free
silver governor ard legislature elected
in Ohio and in 1900 we will elect Mr..
Bryan by the most over 8heIming major
ity ever received By any prasident since
the republic begon.
NATHAN HOLLOWAY.
