now understands it, and the honest men
Of both parties are lining up in support
of the cause of sound money This is
the feature of the campaign at present.
EK-Secretary of the Treasury Car
isle has accepted the presidency of
the Lawyers Sound Money Campaign
club of New York city. The club was
formed on Friday, Sept %, and its
membership embraces most of the
leading lawyers of the city of both
parties. Mr.. Carlisle's action in this
matter is very gratifying to all the
friends of good money and good gov
eminent. Desperate efforts had been
made by the Bryanites TO win MIN over
to their side. The influence of his de-
cision to support. Mckinley will be
very wide and great.
Mr. Wheeler HI. Peckham, another
eminent Democrat, who was nominal
ed for the supreme court by President
Cleveland, presided at the meeting of
the lawyers, and among the signers of
the call for the meeting were Messrs.
Charles @. Beaman, William A. Duer,
Ex-Governor George Hoadly Of Ohio,
George L. Rives, Francis l.. Stetson,
James NJ Varnum, Edmund Wetmore,
ex-Congressman Franklin Bartlett and
many other distinguished names. The
call included the statement that 1--WE
believe that sound money is again the
vital issue at the coming election"
and this phrase gives what may be
called the text of the campaign or its
keynote From this time on the Demo
Gratis will be compelled to confront
this vital issue. They have tried to
evade it from the first and to conceal
their purpose of degrading the money
standard and the commercial honor Of
this country, but they must now face
the music"

all the similar organizations that will
now be formed in the different states.
