President Andiews contends that he was mistaken in his views as to the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and that the reason for his error was the natural one of an un expected and unsuspected addition to the gold coinage of the world through the development of the Alaskan and African gold fields. It seems to us that this ground is reasonable enough for all lVmo erats to stand upon, who sincerely desire the reunion of the divided party and the defeat of Koosevell Kepnlilic.iuisin that will result from such reunion.
