convention sees fit to adopt that plank it will simply obliterate tho the words worda ac to V 1 that will place it squarely against the free coinage of stiver silver at any ratio whether the indiana plank is 19 adopted w not you can rest assured the convention Is going to pronounce in no do uncertain manner on the Jin financial ancial question there will be no straddle or anything approaching is a straddle it will be a plain statement ono one which lie he who runs may read in favor of oc sound money will the tariff or the money ques lion be the issue of the campaign both but I 1 expect to see
