Washington Letter from 1898 Reflects Currency Debate and Party Tactics
The Washington letter notes Democrats and rival reformers distorting Republican quotes to inflame tensions over tariff and currency bills. It reports Springer’s shifting stance on a currency bill, hearings planned with Carlisle Eckels and bankers, and the role of Speaker Crisp. It mentions Arizona New Mexico admission, Nicaragua canal, bankruptcy, and Indian Territory bills, plus ship bill uncertainty and political maneuvering by Cleveland’s administration. Randall Jones, claimed as the nation’s oldest resident at 114, recounts Revolutionary War memories.
