President Cleveland has done ev-
erything in his power to prevent the
passage of a bill for the free coinage
of silver. He has admitted that the
coinage of 100000 silver dollars
per month for twelve years did not
drive gold out of the country, and
put us on a silver basis as he feared.
Now, what has been the effect of re-
pealing the Bland law, substituting
the Sherman law, and afterward re-

This law required the government
to buy 100000 ounces of silver and

TELLER WOULD ACCEPT.
He Says if the Democrats Nominate
HIM He Will Accept.

Denver, July 4.-"There is not a word
of truth in it," said Senator Teller
when asked regarding the report at
Chicago that he had written Governor
Altgeld that he would not permit his
name to go before the Democratic con-
ventfOn. I have not changed my at
titude from what it was at st. Louis
in the least" continued the senator.
There, at the earnest solicitation of
many gentleInen-silVer Republicans
and Democrats and PUpulists--I con-
scented that my name might be used in
connection with the presidency at Chi
cago- 1 told them frankly that I had
no claims upon the Democratic party
and that I did not consider my NOM
ination by its convention as possible
nevertheless if. as my more than par
tial friends thought, the Democratic
delegates might believe that my can
didacy would more likely bring to the
ticket the necessary electoral votes
than would that Of one of the life
members of the party, I would leave
the matter in their hands and trust
wholly to their discretion and patFi-
otism."
Speaking of the Chicago convention
he said: Its majority is a body of
magnificent and patriotic. mem There
is no doubt but they will issue a new
declaration of independence and norni=
nate candidates about whose devotion
to the plain people there will be no room
for doubt. The great majority for BIZ
metallism which the convention con-
tains is overwhelming proof of the
power and virtue of our free institu-
tons, and is a certain guaranty that,
whatever the emergency, they will
prove equal to the strain and meet the
| most sanguine expectations of their
founders. I believe that the money and
| chicanery of the gold power will prove
utterly futile in such a body and that
its ernissaries will retreat dismayed
