.'TIMES" FOR TELLER.
The Kansas City Democratic Daily
Says He'll Sweep the Country.

The Kansas City Democratic Daily
Says He'll Sweep the Country.
The Kansas City Times under the
caption a True American has this
to say Of Senator Teller:
"The one central figure of the Repub-
Iican convention to really rejecting
minds is not the man who is exercising
more autocratic political powers than
were ever before concentrated in one
mans grasp in a supposedly popular
assembly the trust president, Mark
Hanna, nor is it his political protege,
Mckinley.
But the man who has lowered above
all the rest at st. Louis, like another
Saul. has been Senator Henry NJ. Teller
Of Colorado.
For years a distinguished figure in
American politics by virtue OF his clear
intellect and strong, although conserva-
tive views on all public questions, it
has remained for defeat to bring out
the true greatness and moral worth of
the man, like a star that shines from a
setting Of midnight blackness The
sweet uses of adversely are as prOverb-
ial as the fact that flower sheds its
sweetest. perfume only When bruised or
crushed. But there is generally more
poetry than truth in the idea when its
application is made to imperfect hu-
manity
"a man of Senator Teller's earnest
ness and sincerity of character, and
strength and breadth of Intellectual
grasp, can not long remain in obscur-
ity, even if he voluntarily resigns his
position as a political leader. He is un-
doubtedly one of the few really great
leaders of the west, and his services are
too valuable, and his type of manhood
in politics too rare to permit him to re-
main long in retirement.
Senator Teller would command the
confidence of the business classes and
would sweep the country like a prairie
fire if it We're possible for the Demo
cratic party to do for him what the Lib
erals of England did for Mr.. Gladstone
when he embraced their cause, that is,
to offer him the post of leadership by
making him its presidential nominee"

flowers from a half dozen beds which
were the work of Florist Brown, an
old family employe Of Mrs McKinley's
family, and who had taken great pride
in the beauty of the premises. The
fences did not escape.

charged fraud in the primaries. Later
separate conventions were held by each
faction.

A NEW PARTY ALIGNMENT.
Is Predicted by the Rocky Mountain
News of Denver.

Denver. June 19.-The Rock Mountain
News says
THE Withdrawal of Senator Teller
and the delegations of the silver states
from the national Republican conven-
tion at st. Louis is the first step to
ward a new alignment of parties in
this country. The action of the Colo
rado senator and those who followed
his lead has been dictated by an alb
solute devotion to principle.
mo eulogium can be passed on Mr..
Teller's speech which viii do it justice.
Such impassioned words dictated by
such unquestioned motives and COM
ing from so true a heart have never
been before heard in an American con-
ventiOn. They fell upon ears dear to
anything but the dictation of the money
power and upon cOnsciences besotted
in the worship of the golden calf. Rut
their effect viii not be confined to walls
of the convention hall. They will ring
through the whole land and give hope
and inspiration to the common people.
They win make the name of Teller
O hero in the FIGHT now openly begun.
the result of which viii determine
whether the people or the money power
is to rule the destinies of the nation"

distant from Kansas. There is but lit
tie wind this afternoon. and the tenn
perature remains about the same. At
o'clock this afternoon the thermomet-
ter registered 81.
Tomorrow we are to have fair wealth
er with stationary temperature.
Throughout the state today the
weather is reported generally cloudy
and warm, the temperature ranging
from IS to 95. Light scattered showers
fell over the central and southern por-
