paigns, Never IN my life have l hear'
him charged by hint, SQUIRT innuenao o
otherwise OF being tinctured with soid
nupism" or of being unfriendly TO tn

! he hna been on the very important an
; prorrjation committee. and has necessari'
given his time almost exclusively TO ina
particular branch OF the service. other
made a speciality OF the silver cause 70
this reason he has never been conspicuou
in tho debates on that iesne, but Ne ia
always with sterling Integrity. fidelity an
patriotic loyalty. supported and voted 70
every measure that tended to ESTABLISH
the unlimited free coinage OF silver an
gold at the ratio of 16 to l. In c-mpaign
