Post vote on Sherman Act repeal disputed in Illinois letter
A Galenburg correspondent defends Gen. Post, stating he voted for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman Act and correcting misreports. The letter links Post to Republican platform stances on bimetallism and criticizes insinuations about Mr. Kern.
