tair. We also met Frank Kecshan,

substantial buildings and well kept

the boys think it a nice place to
live. Our friend Treacv informed
us that while he was a demrcrat
he was strongly opposed to free
silver and four years ago lost no

the error of their way. John says

reason why he hhotild not continue
to oppose free silver.
