Denver. July f.-Senator Henry NJ. Tel
Ter returned 10 Colorado today. and on
arriving in Denver this evening from
Cheyenne was met by a great outpouring
OF people from al parts OF the state. The
demonstration was participated in by all
classes OF persons and by persons Of al
political beliefs. and ii Is doubtful If the
scenes OF enthusiasm enacted on the
streets or Denver tonight have been par
alleled in Western history.
The explosion OF "a bomb at the Union
depot announced the arrival OF the spe-
clal train il Denver at exactly p. m.
Long before that hour the streets were
nmmed with people. The towns Of the
state had sent train loads of citizens 10
the capital and the delegations from the
counties Wed In the contest of cheering
and yelling Immense flags and pennants.
pictures OF the senator and banners OF
welcome and greeting were displayed ey-
erywhere. while sky-rockets wnizzed from
all the high buildings IN town. and the
booming Of the cannon made deafen-ng
noise. An immense parade had already
been formed on the arrival or the train.
composed of military and civic organiza-
tions. all the labor assemblies of the city,
wheelmen and many political CLUBS. The
Teller Silver Club. ZOO strong, formed an
interesting feature OF the parade. as did
the Colorado pioneers. the gray-headed
pathhnders being among the most enthu-
siastic in line.
AS Senator Teller stepped from the train
there went up a mighty howl The roar
OF human voices drowned out the noise OF
the bombs. The carriage was drawn by
six white horses and was occupied, in adj
dition 10 Senator Teller. by the mayor
and governor. Escorted by the Denver
troops of the Colorado National Guard and
followed by the cheering OF Gipinites. the
remainder Of the procession bringing up the
+.
teenth street. A continual ovation ios-
lowed its course. From windows flags
and handkerchiefs were waved, and from
the thousands on the pavements come lus-
ty cheers. The enthusiasm reached Its
climax az the corner OF Sixteenth and
Larimer streets, where 500 young men
unhitched the horses. tied long rope
to the pole and drew the carriage the re-
mainder of the way. This act set the
crowd wild, and along the route the young
men we're enthusiastically greeted.
Senator Teller reviewed the parade from
a stand which had been erected for that
purpose. Thirty thousand people stood In
the rain and watched the procession.
When the last club had passed the stand
Gov. Mcintyre and Mayor McMurray made
speeches OF welcome. After passing
through the business portion Of the city,
Senator Teller was taken to the Brown
Palace hotel. Senator Teller then came
forward, and In a short address thanked
the people for the honor they had done
him. He said:
II believe now that all the friends or
silver have 10 do In this country is TO get
together and when we get together be-
lleve the friends OF silver viii dominate
and control this country and place II upon
a monetary system that Is an American
system-a monetary system that We adopt
without asking the consent OF Great Brit
ain or any other land. Whatever the Re-
plTblicans may do in other sections, |
know that the Republicans OF this state
believe that the great American nation Is
big enough and strong enough and wise
enough TO promulgate a system OF Its own
that IS American without the approval OF
any nation on earth. (Applause) For
that. let all the people of Colorado be
united as one man. When we are united
the other sections of the country VIII be
united with US. and we will accomplish
that which 10 some OF us has seemed very
remote-the securing. 1 repeat. OF a true,
honest. American system OF finance"
