Show BYNUM NOT IN IT. THE INDIANA MAN OUT IN A CARD IN SUPPORT OF MILLS. He Says the Man from Texas Represents the 1'osition of the Democrats on the Tariff and That the Tariff is the Issue Just Now Involved. Washington, Nov. 24. Bynuui, of Indiana, Indi-ana, has come out in a card withdrawing from the speakership contest. In his card Mr. By num. says: "I never pressed my candidacy, and consented con-sented to the use of my name only uutil it became evident that the contest was narrowed nar-rowed down between Mills and Crisp. "I shall heartily support Mills. While many of the candidates are strong tariff ' reformers, none so prominently represent the position of the party on this question as Mills. He is known to the people as a prominent figure in the house on this question, and his defeat would in a great measure be accepted as the abandonment of the issue. The tariff is the issue upon which we must win in 1892, aud there should be no scmblaucc of wavering or halting at this critical period. "Unless the party stands firmly and aggressively ag-gressively in favor of this issue, the farmers of the nortuwest who gave us such a sweeping sweep-ing victory in 1890 will become discouraged and may abandon the hope of success through the organization of our party." |
