In this vb-w, I am happy to say thnt my colleague and I agree, although, ns you are well aware, s ,o not agree upon the 'sliver question.' I am very glad Indeed to have your asiuranre that my friends and many other thoughtful Re publicans throughout the stab -.pprovn the position I hive Ink m on the silver question, a position which I believe will te- sustain.-.! by the national Republlcnn party.
