Silver question and political shifts noted in 1893
The issue of silver policy is discussed with A M Waddell's exposition cited. Judge Connor resigns, Jacob Battle to succeed, and Robeson Court will be his last. Bladen will be the first for his successor. A compromise on the Sherman law is outlined, including monthly silver purchases and bonding for gold, met with presidential opposition. Grover Cleveland's letter supports repeal and a stable currency while favoring some silver use under proper legislation.
