VEST FOR FREE SILVER.

Thinks the West and the South WUI Win. New York, April 17.—Senator Vest, talking on the issues of 1896, said: “It has been evident for a long time that the radical difference of opinion on the tariff and money questions between the democrats of the northeast and the west and south could not be compromised. National conventions have equivocated and straddled in order to get votes, but the time has come when this is no longer possible. Many leading democrats of the northeast advocate what they call moderate tariff protection and the single gold standard. We of the west and south believe in a tariff for revenue only and the free coinage of silver. We propose to frame a platform unequivocally declaring pur opinions and to nominate for the presidency a candidate about whose loyalty to this platform there can be no suspicion.”
