undcr the hanners of Colorado, Idaho,
Utah. Nevada California, and Montana,
and some of those from Tennessee and

lows:
We the undersigned members of the COM
mittee on resolutions. being unable TO agree
with that portion of the majority report
which treats OF the subject of coinage and
finance, respectfully submit the Following
paragraph as a substitute therefor:
"'Tbe Republican party favors the use OF both
GOLD and silver as equal standard money, ana
pledges its power TO secu the free uhre,
| stricted and independent coinage OF gold anu
silver at United States mints at the ratio OF
| Ii parts of silver TO of gold"
| Remarks of Teller.
| Teller said he contended for silver not be-
cause he comes from silver state Dut pe-
cause the progress Of the country depends
upon it. He declared that this Is the nrst
| time Republican convention was ever
held whose platform declared its inabiiity
| To control its own affairs. He said II the
gold standard was adopted he must sever
his connection with the Republican party.
| This remark was greeted with cheers ana
misses. He would not dare take this step
alone. but others believed with him. he
would be false to his state II he did not
sever his connection with the hepupiican
marty IL the gold standard was adopteo'
Teller denied that the silver men were
taking this step for personal advantage
Teller became personal In the last par'
| of his speech, but said 1t was necessary
when Americans would bring on mn
abuse. He also said it was propaDly tn'
last time he would ever address hepuo
| lican convention.
