From Challis: Ohio speaker Abbott stalls in a heated political night
Last Tuesday in Challis, Ohio’s John Abbott spoke from a Republican stance with Reese of Lemhi County supporting the party. Abbott attacked silver and trusts, criticized McKinley era policy, and urged voters to choose Bryan or face imperialist outcomes. The crowd, orderly but unenthusiastic, heard claims of nationwide prosperity amid growing strikes and rising prices. The evening highlighted contrasts between parties and the fate of the republic versus empire.
