GOLD OR SILVER, HE STAYS.
COLONEL TRUMBO WILL NOT BOLT THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY ANYHOW.

,,-rHFl1srRED HoTIFOR THE WHITE METAL AND
THINKS THE CAUSE OF PROTECTION is BOUND
UP WITH THE INTERESTS OF SILVER.
Colonel Isaac Trumbo. who led the fight for
silver In the late convention OF the Republican
League at Cleveland. in the city yesterday.
He is one Of the youngest Republican leaders In the
West but there Is none more active and few who
have accomplished more at his time Of life. He is
not yet forty. but he has made fortune and 1t
is generally agreed that he will be elected United
States Senator from Utah this winter Though a
vigorous advocate of unlimited silver coinage. the
Colonel has invariably refused to go outside party
lines In making the fight Threats Of boiling. in
the event OF a gold platform being adopted by the
coming Republican National Convention. he con-
siders most unwise THE Republican party is our
party" he SAID at Cleveland. "and we shall not
leave H. II is this answering loyalty that enables
him to WELD so much more influence than some
OF his brethren who constantly trying TO form
q distinctively silver party. and gives him hear
ing in all Republican assemblies.
"The East" he remarked yesterday. refuses
blindly to see two very serious things; First 1t
re.,,ses 10 acknowledge. despite all the evidences
a. nrove IT, that as the decentralization OF silver
brought on the hard times. so II will require re-
rnonetization Of silver to bring back good times.
Second 1t refuses TO understand how deepseated
and universal is the feeling in the West In favor
Of silver There are practically no gold monometal-
metalsts while beyond the Mississippi River all the
people especially determined that the contest
in 1896 shall be fought squarely on the recall OF
silver as a standard money. With us II is superior
10 the tariff. and have no fear OF the Re-
nublican National Convention next year making a
cold platform We are serene in the general faith
that a vast majority OF the American people are
In favor OF the restoration of silver standard
money and We also firm In the party faith tha'
the Republican party will have both the wisdom and
the patriotism settle correctly this great ques-
tion The papers that represent us as being Wiling
70 Dol, the party rule ruin do not know us.
The Republican party is party. and we shall
not leave IT, but will settle all contests WITHIN us
lines Besides that, We have the conhdent iaith
that comes 10 people who are In an actual ma
1or,ty and know IL. For We know we are IN a
majority in the Republican party. and therefore
know that whatever shall be done as 10 silver IN
the future will be a gain for u.s. We know tna'
the high-water mark for gold was reached al MIN
neapolis in 1892. The next PLATFORM II 1t chahee
from that will change toward silver ana not
toward gold. ,
The gold monometaliists everywhere may as well
understand that now. The East has many people
bankers and money dealers. who are really lot
gold currency There are many other Eastern peo-
ple manufacturers. merchants. etc. who think now
they are for IT, But when 1t comes 70 eieetne
