MR. pou NOT A CANDIDATE.
He Speaks Out Vigorously and ForciblY
against Gold MonometalIism

A News and Observer reporter called
the attention of Solicitor Pou, at the
Park Hotel yesterday, to the fact that
his name was being prominently spo-
ken of in connection with the nomina-
ton for Congress from the Fourth dis
trict. II have never thought of being
a candidate for the nomination" said
Mr.. Pou II am not in any sense can
didate now, and positively do not de-
sire the nomination, while thank my
friends for the kind words they have
said. / shall be content to strive to
elect the nominee of our party. With
a National Democratic platform, that
is true to bi-metallism, / con-
fidently believe we win carry the State.
A gold plank in thep latform, as con-
ceiye. would be just as undemocratic
as to include a high protective tariff
plank therein. The proposed gold
recommendation is a complete reversal
Of Democratic policy, and an utter
change in Democratic doctrine as l
have understood it.
These are my views, because 1 be-
lieve them to be Democratic and be-
cause / believe our only hope Of sue
cess in the State and nation subsists
i'm an honest and faithful adherence
to Democratic principles. The Nat
ional Convention is the place to make
the fight. The records of the past bear
me out in the assertion I have repeat
eddy made that the only hope of silver
is through the regular organization
of the Democratic party.

Senator TeIIer's speech.

1t was in reply to speech ma 1e
by Senator Sherman in which he
ridiculed the silver craze, and
said that the Republican party
would declare for the gold stand
ard and nominate man opposed
to free coinage for president.
Senator Teller, in replying, took
occasion to review to some ex-
tent the record of the Republi-
can party. He showed how,
under the leadership of Sherman
and the other gold men, it had
drifted from the great principles
of Abraham Lincoln until it had
become the party of the bond
holders and monopolists. Mr..
Teller gave out some party sec
rets. He told how the western
Republicans had determined not
to support the Mckinley bill in
1890, and how at last they allow
ed it to pass in return for the
passage of the Sherman silver
which provided for monthly in
crease of the money of the
country. Mr.. Teller then bitter
ly erraigned Sherman and the
other gold Republicans in break
ing their compact with the west
ern Republicans in joining with
the gold Democrats in 1893 to
repeal the silver law at the die
tation of Grover Cleveland. He
said that Mr.. Sherman and the
other gold Republicans were now
openly advocating the gold
standard, and were trying to get
into power to force upon the
country another Mckinley bill
ond keep upon them the gold
standard at the same time. He
said that every sane man knew
that the Mckinley bill, if re-
enacted. would not give the
people prosperity while we. were
under the gold standard.
Proceeding, Mr.. Teller said /:
''Traversing the country and
shouting, there is now a band of
men who have labeled their
candidate for the presidency
Mckinley the Advanced Agent
of Prosperity The people who
look to this man as their savior
will find that they have been
again deceived. The agent OF
prosperity is not yet in sight,
and will not be in sight until we
have a candidate for the presi-
dency who will stand for chang
ing this odious and infamous sys-
tenn of finance.
Senator Teller proceeding,
said: 81 do not intend to remain
quiet and allow the senator from
Ohio and others who agree with
him to fool the people any long
er. The issue between the people
and the gold trust must be drawn
squarely in the coming campaign.
Dodging and straddling will not
fool the people longer. I look
with fear and trembling upon
the action of my party conven
ton at st. Louis. If it shall de
clare against the people and fol
the gold standard, then 1 shall
not act with it further. Wher
the party to which l belong ceas
es to represent my deep-seateo
and long-established convictions
l shall cease to act with it.
shall stand by my convictions.
should despise myself if, holding
the views l do, l should lift my
hand to put in power as presi
dent a man who would exercise
from the White House the slight
est influence to continue the pres
ent ruinous system of finance
The time has come for the peopl,
to take stand. AS for myself
I will vote this year as 1 speak.
