Gedge Firm Opposes Free Silver and Chicago Nominees
Spectators at the St Louis convention recall Mr Gedge wearing a McKinley badge and carrying a McKinley cane. He declares he will not support Chicago convention nominees if they back free silver, calling it disastrous to industry. He notes the firm’s leaders share his view and that the Gedges Garveys and Bluffingtons are top Indiana manufacturers employing 800 plus workers at the plant. The firm leased the Premier steel plant in Indianapolis, plans $50,000 repairs, and will hire about 1,000 there for steel billets.
