that the appropriation was made as: reported. A meeting of the California delegation was held and I endeavored to secure

then in case the engineers, after .a careful

strongly combatted this, claiming that the
dams thould be used for the purpose of

would be better not to express the purpose

Pasapgwa (Cal.), April 13, 1896.
To the Editor of the Beo—Sir: In reply
to youre of March 13th and.of April 7th,
will say that I am favorable to the f
coinage of silver, Yet I must view
point, If I understand your question cor~
views “upon the policy of pledging the
vention to a silver man on a silver platform.” saan
To this proposition, all things considered,
I am constrained to say that I sincerely
doubt the propriety of such a pledge, and
by way of explanation, will further say
that, according to my judgment, protection
is now and should be the paramount issue
of the coming campaign. Upon this great
subject our party ia practically a unit.
With that fact in view, we who differ from
our brother Republicans on the silver question should: be willing to accept the situation after doing our best in thas regard, but
without going so far that our acts may
jeopardize the main chances of sevuring &
Republican adminstration.
Even though we-had the power, would it
be wise for us to force this isene upon our
party at this time, knowing that) a large
percentage of them are so strongly opposed
to 11? In other words, should we, if we
had the power, attempt to force upon
members of our party a proposition abnoxious ‘to-them, which would compel them to
atultify themselves or bolt the ticket ?
Undoubtedly Congress is the proper
brauch of our Government to deal with this
important question and should be left anttammelled by the Chief Executive.in that
respect, and it should be compelled to
assume the responsibility, Therefore, 1
would suggest thata plank be inserted in
the National ‘platform, pledging our candidates to sccept the verdict uf Congress,
and also that he will neither directly nor indirectly interfere nor attempt to influence
its acts upon this particular question,
It ‘we could be sure-of this fact, I would
willingly trust its fate to that body and accept the result without a murmur, and if
our candidate will give our people that
pledge, it is all we ought: to ask of him;
and, it does seem to.me that our opponents
should be willing to trust and accept the
mentioned. Certain it is that if this course
could be adopted, it would relieve our candidate from all embarrassment so far as he is
officially. concerned, and put this well understood issue where it belongs, to wit; In
the legislative branch of our Government,
through which our people are compelled to
Again, if the people of this State are in
favor of the free coinage proposition, it
seems to me that strong resolutions on that
line would serve to guide our delegates, as
well as serving notice on the convention
that the Republicans of California are in
favor.of that doctrine. Yours very truly,
