They are not the usual blanket petition , but

In order to have ttiis allowing saved from

names taken from each potltlon and printed
on a slip , winch bo lias laid before each of tlio

it is an autograph letter from Wlm.in urging
that the ponding1 struggle In Canada U ono
having as many interests for tbo United

tbat the success of the liberals will nie.in tlio

it has Just began to dawn upon congress that
tlieru nro too many copies of the eovornmont's

makes an eimal division of all documents
among all senators and remvsuiitwtivoa is
unjust ami foolish , as many of the documents

silver for this congress. Colonel Taylor
suggested that the silver men bad made a

the opnoncnU of silver would have yielded
