needed; but 1 can ask you to advance
and exalt the spirit Of patriotism, even
at the sacrifice of partisanship. The
President has said the ignorant people
Of Colorado have got to be educated on
the money Question, ana / wish he were
here TO see whom he proposes TO educate.
The silver sentiment is steadily grow
ing and even in Boston aud Aiassachu-
sets il is crystalliZtng. II is spreading

MIR. Sibley was frequently interrupted
with applause from the vast assembly
of men and women, and expressed HIM
self as more than gratihed with the earn
estness OF the people IN the cause of
silver.
Gen. Warner followed Mr. S.bley in a
practical, business-like discussion of the
subject, which has been his life study.
He also read extracts from a letter which
he received this morning from Senator
Jones explaining the cause of his absence
and failure to be with the party at this
time. The letter stated that Senator Jones
had fully intended to make the western
tour with Messrs. Sibley and Warner, but
on the day that he was to start from New
York his physician positively forbade him
70 attempt II. Senator Jones is suffering
from heart disease and spells of great
physical depression. The letter also stated
that ne had telegraphed Gen. Warner be-
forc the party left Chicago, but the tele-
gram was never received by Mr. Warner.
Senator Stewards S name was heartily
chcered. As TO the future movements of
the party in this state, the comIoittee haV-
ing the matter IN charge have arranged for

Washington, April 16-Secretary Clarke
of the American Bimetallic League refer
ring to reports that Senators Stewart
and Jones of Nevada were indifferently
disposed towards the new silver move

man Sibley and Mr.. Warner on their Den
Yer tour, said tonight: The simple truth
IS, Gen. Warner Mr.. Sibley and Senator
Jones arranged to meet at Chicago last
Saturday and proceeded thence to Denver.
Senator Jones had been in New York and
started in advance of the party, but
was taken sick and is now detained i'll at
the Astor house. 1t was well understood
that Senator Stewart could not leave
Washington at once, but he expects to
start for the west on Thursday, reaching
Denver on Monday next. Meanwhile he
has evinced what L should name pretty
lively interest in silver by writing
'Junius letter TO President Cleveland.
The Big Four of the American Bimetal-
lie party. Messrs. Jones, Warner. Sibley
and Stewart, will meet at the west as
soon as possible and take that section
by storm. Later, so to speak, they will
carry the war into Africa. The south
and the east, as well as the west, will
near from them before long"
