Towne's Letter Praises Kansas City Platform Amid Stir
In a collage of quotes from Joseph Flory and A A Towne, the Post-Dispatch reports Flory denying claims he worked in Wabash yard during the 1883 strike while Wagner asserts he saw Flory switch into an engine foreman role. Towne, nominated for vice president by the populists, declines the nomination and lauds the Kansas City platform and the Democratic ticket, praising Bryan's leadership and the platform's trust-busting tone.
