Free Silver Row Roils United States Monetary League
Kansas City July 8 General A J Warner of Ohio sparked a ruckus at a Monetary League meeting by insisting on getting silver restored before discussing any ratio changes. He said 16 to 1 may be irrelevant and urged automatic silver regulation to settle the issue. Harvey and St John challenged him as supporters pressed for the 16 to 1 ratio in the party platform. The clash drew loud applause and later outside protests.

Democratic leaders agree Towne's strength lies in the West, with little appeal in the East if the platform is moderated.
