A Rolle Sentinel letter explains that despite no explicit law requiring silver dollars to be redeemed in gold, government policy maintains parity. It argues that token money and gold reserves create a de facto interchangeability, making silver and gold dollars equal in value and exchangeable for gold if needed.
The reemergence of Captain Tanner excites Republicans as he reenters active campaigning. His diplomatic leadership, sound judgment, and patriotism are praised, and his critique of Governor Altgeld is noted as clever and truthful.

He predicts a rising support for a balanced money policy and vows to lead Illinois to a decisive victory.
