More Money in Circulation.
The Republican party, with what
faults it may have, cannot be accused
OF being insincere. and, furthermore, the
Republican party has come to where we
wanted them. What we wanted in re-
gard to money was more of it, and the
Republicans came to it in different

votes from the American people by abus-

they do, he will be elected by the largest

he has done nothing but what was right,
