CONGRESSMAN HARTMAN.
Representative Charles s. Hartman
Of Montana was asked by a reporter
what effect he thought the action Of
the bimetalhst delegation in reDud.at-
ing the gold standard plank of the Re
publican platform would have upon the
coming campaign.
He replied as follows:
IF adj the bimetallist forces OF the
country can be conferred upon one can
didate there will be no difficulty. in my
judgment, in having bimetllist presi-
dent and a bimetalllist congress elect
ed this fall. The end and aim of all the
supporters Of bimetallism should be 10
promote the nomination OF the strong
est candidate that can be obtained II
should not be question simply Of indi-
vidual preference OF any citizen. But
the prominent question which every BIZ
metallist in all parts and all sections
ought 10 ask himself is: What viii
bring 10 that ticket the greatest num-
Der Of electoral votes?
AS the result OF very careful and
extensive examination OF the question
through personal interviews and by cor
respondence, 1 am convinced that Mr..
Teller above all others Is infinitely the
strongest man we can nominate. The
action OF the retiring delegates from the
Republican convention was the proper
course 10 pursue, and should he be
made the standsrd-bearer Of the b.
metalist forces, his election would fol-
low by an overwhelming majority. II
has been conceded by large number OF
Democratic bimetalllists both IN and ont
Of congress, with whom / have con
versed. that Mr.. Teller, by reason Of his
bold. coUra geous and patient stand
against the force bill, would carry every
southern state with the exception ~
Maryland and West Virginia. and with
that concession an content The peo-
pie OF the south have not forgotten the
ringing sentences 10 which Senator Tel
Ter gave uttsrance when the force bin
