teller thinks 1here VIII be NO Les
organization of That Body.
WASHINGTON, Oct 2O.-"My own
opinion is that the Senate will move
along about as it is now so far as the
organization is concerned" said Senator
! Teller tonight. II do not profess &c
speak for anyone but myself, bat l am
quite certain that there will be no reor-
ganizatiOn unless the silver sentiment,
which predominstes that body. ia re-
! spected. Just what may be demanded
! by the friends OF silver / an not able to
say, but they will certainly insist that q
Tree coinage man be put upon the Com
niitlee on Finance 10 fill the existing va
cancy. That much will be demanded,
and 1t is pretty sure to be conceded for
there are not enough votes in the Senate
TO defeat it. Who will the man be? That
cannot be told to a certainty, but l would
not be surprised II Mr.. W olcott OF Colo
RADIO were selected"
"What about the talk to the effect that
the silver men contemplate joinder OF
interests in the matter of the organiza-
tion?"
II do not believe that any such combi-
nation will be seriously proposed" re-
piled Mr.. Teller. There are silver men
in all three of the parties that make UP
i
would DO unusual, TO say the least, for the
mem bers OF these parties. holding SINH
lar beliefs on the monetary question only,
to join Issues on the subject of reorgani-
zation. | do not think anything OF the
sort will be proposed"
"Will the fight for the free coinage oil
silver be kept up during the coming Con-
gress?" Mr.. Teller was asked.
Just so sure az that Congress meets"
! I'D
| thing that will bring US permanent pros
perisy, and we will not give up the con-
test until we secure IT,"
Mr.. Teller's attention was called to the
good reports concerning the " est, and
ne agreed that they were correct. "If il
| had not been for the unexpected develop
meuts of the gold mines OF Colorado,
do not know what our people would have
! DONE" he said. MANY of these mines
are producing very large quantities OF
| gold, and men who have been idle tor
! months are now at work, and things be-
| gin to look better. The silver mines are
! not paying, and VIII not pay until the
| price of silver raises considerably higher
! than il now Is and remains there. OF
! course, there is here and there a high
| class mine with plenty of lead mixed
| with the silver that can be worked at q
profit, but these are few and lar between.
| The development of the gold mines has
! been the salvation of our State and OF
many other places in the West"
When asked If the development OF 30
much gold-producing territory did not
create a change in the silver sentiment OF
the people, Mr.. Teller entered an en-
phatic negative. 1--WE are advocates OF
! the free coinage of silver, because we be-
lieye it Is right from principle" he said,
! and the men who own and operate the
! gold mines are just as much In earnest
/ on the financial question al are the men
who control the silver country. There
must be both metals, and no amount Of
| gold, however great, viii cause Us to
cease our struggle for the Tree coinage OF
silver"
! Mr.. Teller is here on his way home from
| Connecticut, whore he went to place his
son in Yale. He will remain until w ed
nesday, when he will return TO Colorado.
