Letter from Senator Teller.
| Chicago, July Ain view of the many
| conflicting statements put in circulation
respecting Senator Teller's attitude and
the Intention of his friends who walked
with him out of the St. Louis convention
fortnight ago, Senator Dubois Friday
afternoon gave out the following letter
from his associate. the only one, he said,
that had been received from Senator Tell
er since the adjournment OF the repub-
lican national convention:
Morrison, ILL.,, June "a, 1896. Hon Fred
Dubois, Springfield. ILL.,, Dear Sir: I
reached this place yesterday and will re-
main here until the last of the week, when
will leave for Denver.
II notice that the gold standard demo-
Gratis have declared their intention to con-
troll the Chicago convention. do not think
they can do 1t. If our silver friends control
the convention and give us a good silver
man. as think they will, think he should
have the active support of all who believe
the money question is the great question
before the American people. We must, for
lnlS campaign at ledSt overlook all minor
differences and put the country on sound
financial system, that recognizes that gold
and silver are the money Of the conStitu-
ton.
II believe this can be done, and to that
end we must bend all our energies. A little
more patriotism and a little less partisan
ship Is what our country needs at this time
The friends of silver made no mistake at
st. Louis and we must not make mistake
as to our future alliance with other silver
advocates. The cause is Of too much i'm
portance to admit of carping or criticism
We must all get together and act together
until the battle Is won. 1t will be royal
battle with justice on our side. We must
win.
LET me hear from you soon.
"Yours truly,
"(Signed) H. NJ. TELLER"
Would Not Refuse Second Honors.
Louisville, KY, July Awhile it Is gen.
orally believed that Blackburn's name will
be presented for first place on the ticket,
the Kentuckians will keep an eye out for
combinations by which they may receive
second honor. 1t Is known the senator
would be content with this recognition, and
not only that, but would be glad to have
it. 1t may be expected that the bulk Of
effort by his friends in Chicago will be d.
rected to this end
