October 2
Covington, KY (Excerpt)
Omaha World-Herald (Morning Edition), Omaha, NE, 3 October, 1896 and The
Evening News, Lincoln, NE, 3 October, 1896.
"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."
