was is,.:.s. and Bryan had 1862. The
campaign was ably conducted on both
sides. There was entire harmony and i'm

while the conditions of fusion among the
pemo- Populists could not have been i'm
proved. The issue was squarely between
the Republicans and the free silverites.
and 1t may fairly be said that neither had
a vote for which they did not work and
TO wa.ach they were not entitled. The
