A five or six year old free silver club in the city planned discussions on free silver without forming a party. Republicans who signed the petition now see fusionists peddling it as campaign literature to claim Pettigrew’s consistency on free silver. The point made is Pettigrew was whipped four years ago and clings to the idea, while Republicans pursued other solutions to the hard times.

It highlights Geo Schlund as a Populist who introduced one bill and one resolution in 1895 and served on two committees in 1897.
