October 2

Covington, KY (Excerpt)

"Let me suggest to you, my friends, a reason for the opposition for some of those railroad presidents which they themselves do not suggest. They oppose our platform not so much because it declares for free coinage—they can stand free coinage—they object to it because we demand that instead of summoning an army to settle labor troubles that we shall have arbitration to settle them."
