Whitney Says He Won't Run and Warns on Silver
Boston June 9 ex Secretary of the Navy William C Whitney says he will not be a presidential candidate. He argues if the silver issue dominates the next Democratic convention the party will split over sound money alongside Western and Southern sentiment. He praises Secretary Carlisle's Memphis speech and calls for an organized educational movement to counter free silver. He believes Republicans avoid reopening the tariff and that money questions will dominate next year’s campaign unless sentiment shifts. Whitney expects a busy few days in Boston as political topics likely arise among locals.
