Senator Teller's Bitter Speech MAY bfing
About Another Party.
Virginia City New dispatch says: There
has been good deal more Of response than Is
generally known 10 the suggestions con-
taiped in Senator Telltrs bitter speech on
the silver question recently. IL has oeen
taken upin Nevada with great zeal. People
OF both parties here. as well a. ~ many parts
OF Idaho. Colorado and Montana nave gone
absolutely silver mad.
The form this madness takes IS IN the
organization Of clubs or leagues everywhere
The members pledge themselves not TO vote
for any candidate for President who - not
"uneaulvocally ia favor OF the free ana IN
limited coinage Of silver" n some OF the
mining towns Of this state at least nne-tenths
OF the voters have Joined these leagues. lhey
avow Il 49, their purpose TO run tnlTd tlec-
floral ticket either solely upon the silver issue
or by a coalition with the Farmers Alliance.
The programme OF the disafected Democrats
is 10 elect delegates 20 the Chicago COhFeh-
ton instructed TO vote for no candidate not a
free-cOinage man. and ID case such man IS
not nominated they say they VIII DOT the
convention.
The leader q this element Of the Demo
cratic party is eI-Congressman Cassidy, who

ministraton Cassidy Is candidate Tor
nomination for Congress this year. ana is Also
anxious 20 90 as a delegate to the convention
The prospect at the present time is that TINS
latter ambition will be gratlied, and II must
be confessed that unless something occurs
between this and the time the convention IS
held he and others IN sympathy with the
Third party project will be elected. and WITH
instructins - insist upon the policy already
outlined. and also TO carry into eject the
threats these people have made.
IL is not unlikely, therefore. that the Dem
ocrats Of Nevada will send two delegations
10 the Chicago Convention. as there are here
a large number Of Democrats who will see 10
IL that the party Is not thus swallowed up by
the Third party movement. II this should be
the case the contestng element will also NOM
mate another Electoral ticket, 50 that the true
Democrats OF the State may have an opportu-
nifty TO express their opinions when they re-
cord their votes.
The Third party leaders Of both parties
that is, the members OF the leagues already
mentioned profess 10 believe that IN cOnnec-
ton with the Farmers Alliance party their
candidates have more than an even chance IN
the Electoral College with the certainty OF
election by the united votes OF the silver mem
bers Of the House. who, II IS assumed. would
hold the balance OF power II no candidate
should have a majority IN the Electoral Col
lege. IL may seem strange 10 persons IN other
States that these men have fairly succeeded IN
making large majority Of the voters OF the
State believe III the possibility Of one or both
OF these events Advices received here lndl-
cate that the Third party feeling IS almost as
intense IN some parts Of Colorado as IT IS IN
Nevada. and that u prevails IN somewhat
less degree in Idaho and Montana. There
can be no doubt that decided movement Is
under discussion by the extreme silver peO-
pie TO bring about the very result that Sena-
tor Teller threatened on tho floor OF the
Senate
