Continued from first page.)

lican national committee, will refuse to
support the ticket under such circum-
Stances?'
Yes; he will, and so will Dubois,
Mantle and Cannon"
do you believe the Democrats will
go for silver?"
1T looks very strongly that way"
Would you support a free-silver
Democrat as against a gold Republi-
can?"
Really I do not wish to be inter-
viewed on that point now. I go to ST.
Louis as Republican, representing the
Republicans of my state. The Republi-
can party has not as yet put itself on
record as a gold-standard party, and
until that time 1 have nothing to say
further than my record before the Colo
rado state convention"
The inevitable conclusion drawn from
the talk with Senator Teller is that he
will bolt if a gold-standard ticket and
platform is named.
He was asked further: What figure
Will the tariff question cut in the cam
paign?"
mot much. All the tariff in the world
won't help this country without the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. If the
Republicans should elect Mckinley on a
tariff platform, the times would not i'm
prove, and in two years the discomfort
of the people would wipe the party out of
existence"
Among the callers on Senator Teller
was ex-senator Henry w. Blair and
Hon. w. D. Wilson, the Indiana Repub-
lican who is advocating free silver.
WILL MAKE A FIGHT.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Dubois of Idaho, who is Senator Tel
ler's chief lieutenant in the fight for
free silver, will leave tomorrow for st.
Louis, where he will join the Colorado
senator and the other Republican free
silver men.
said Mr. Dubois tonight 'in the COM
mittee on resolutions, and on the floor
of the convention. We believe a ma
jority of the Republicans of the coun-
try believe in the coinage of silver on the
same terms as gold, and that should
have been the Interpretation of the plat
form adopted at Minneapolis. If we
fail we shall go down with our colors
flying"
would a compromise be acceptable
to you?"
replied Mr. Dubois. There can be no
compromise in the issue. 1t is plain and
clear cut"
In the event the convention adopts
platform unsatisfactory to you and the
other silver Republicans, what will be
your course?"
What we will do if the platform does
not declare for silver" responded Mr..
Dubois, "is a matter for the future to
determine We will battle for our con-
victions to the bitter end. If the ma
iority is against us, we will act as our
best judgment dictates"

THE SECOND PLACE
1t Is Still Anybody's Race for the vice.Presi-
dencY

ST. LOUIS, June 12-There is some
difficulty about the selection of vice
presidential candidate, and it is by no
means a settled question. Garrett H.
Hobart of New Jersey and II. Clay Ev-
ans of Tennessee are the most promi-
nent candidates at the present time. A
man who mas been made more promi-
nent in affairs than Mr.. Hobart is
wanted.
While there is q feeling that Mr.. Ev-
ans would make a stronger run as can
didate for governor of Tennessee than
he would as vice president many people
believe Evans was elected governor of
Tennessee and think Democrats would
vote for him for governor who would
not vote for him as a candidate for vice
president.
The question of giving the second
place to New York has been considered
and Governor Morton, 3. L. Tracy and
j. Sloat Fassett have been considered,
but it is very apparent that any nominee
in New York would have to be dictated
by Platt or an anti-Platt man selected.
Either selection might widen instead of
close the breach in the party and the
conclusion is that the vice president
must come from outside of New York,
and as the case now stands Hobart ap-
pears to be in the most advantageous
position.

Marcus Hanna so stated today. He
said Mr.. Fairbanks would be acceptable.
and that was ALL
II wish it distincly understood" said
Mr.. Hanna, that at no time nor in any
place have / stated that it was the wish
of the Mckinley management that Mr..
Fairbanks should be selected as tenn
porary chairman. The suggestion of Mr..
Fairbanks as temporary chairman of
the convention came from various Sec
tions of the country, whose attention to
Indiana had been called by its financial
plank in the platform adopted by the
state convention some weeks since.
That plank met with so much approval
that 1t was believed to be wise to choose
a chairman from Indiana, and Mr.. Fair
banks had been the recognized author of
the financial plank of the Indiana plat
form, and his name naturally came into
tn minds of those memebrs of the COM
mittee and others who read it, and it
thus occurred to suggest Mr. Fairbanks
for the position. When we were approch-
ed on the subject we simply said Mr..
Fairbanks would be acceptable. He has
been urged for the honor by those who
thought the speech of the temporary
chairman should partake largely Of the
financial question:
