Railroad Men Form Sound Money Club in Kankakee
The Kankakee Gazette notes over 500 railroad workers formed a sound money club in Kankakee signaling a near end to free silver in the city. About 400 of these men voted for Cleveland in 1892, and the parade showed the party’s marching presence. With German and Democratic business defection, Bryan may win fewer than 400 votes if the election were held now, as free silver support wanes toward mine owners in the West.
