Free silver triumph at Missouri convention in 1895
The Missouri Democratic state convention adopted a platform endorsing free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1, electing delegates to back silver at the national convention. Speeches by Hatch and Benton criticized gold advocates as office seekers, with resolutions condemning a single gold standard and urging bimetallism. Delegates were chosen, and the convention sent greetings to other state conventions supporting silver.
