10000 PEOPLE GREET TELLER.
Denver.-Senator' Teller's reception
on his arrivalin Denver was magnificent
ovation, participated in by 10000 people.
The demonstration was non bipartisan and
it is doubtful if the scenes of enthusiasm
enacted on the leading streets of the Col
orado capital have been paralleled in west
ern history. From Senator Teler's home
town, Central City, 600 people came to
greet him in Denver. Military, civic and
labor organizations made up the parade,
and the Teller silver club, 1900 strong,
was in line.
The carriage in readiness for the sena-
tor was drawn by six white horses and
was occupied, in addition to Teller, by
the mayor and the governor. It was es-
corted by the Denver City troop of the
Colorado national guards and was fol-
lowed by the cheering Gilpinites. the re.
mainder of the procession bringing mp
the rear. continual ovation followed
its course. From the windows flags and
handkerchiefs we're waved and from the
thousands on the pavements came lusty
cheers.
The enthusiasm reached climax at
the corner of Sixteenth and Larimer
streets, where 500 men descended upon
the carriage, unhitohed the horses, tied a
long rope to the pole and drew the car
riage the remainder of the way. This act
set the crowd wild. After passing through
the business portion of the city Senator
Teller was taken to the Brown Palace
hotel, where at one end of the hotel re-
viewing stand had been erected. Folly
10000 people had gathered in the three
streets intersecting at this corner. Gov.
made speeches. After thanking the crowd
for his reception Senator Teller said in
the course of his speech:
II believe now that all the friends of
silver have to do is to get together. There
are friends enough of silver to dominate
and control this country and adopt a
monetary system that is an American sys-
tenn and which is not adopted by the con-
sent of Great Britain. Cheers. This
country is big enough to take care of
itself and its affairs without the interfer-
ence of any other nation. When we are
united all other sections of the country
will unite with US and we will have true,
honest and American system of finance"
Avo1oE FROM CHICAGO.
Chicago.-Secretary of State Hinrich-
sen, when asked about the presidential
outlook, said:
1--WE silver men are going to run that
convention. We have got control now
and we ask no odds from anybody. l
don't care whether you quote me as say
ing so or not. We are not going to be
satisfied with dickering on the platform"
"How about Tellerw
"Not in 1000 years." replied Mr.. Hin
richsen. "We want Democrat and a
man who will get the support of the
Populists and the western men,"
"How about Boies?"
"Well, We want man who is friend Of
labor"
"How about Bland!"
sit is early yet tn talk of presidential
possibilities, but will say that Illinois is
going to have the casting vote in this
convention. She will 90 for some one
man, and 20 as unit, and the west and
south are going to fall in line. The man
that Illinois supports will get the nomi-
nation, and it will be settled before we 20
into the convention"
MARYLAND FOR SILVER, TOO.
Baltimore, Md.-The Maryland delega-
ton to the Chicago convention met at
the Carrolton yesterday to effect final ar
rangements for their journey. A number
of prominent Democrats, including Sem
ator German, Col. Victor Brughman, ex-
Representative Fred Talbot and others,
we're on hand, and, prior to the meeting
of the delegates, the party situation was
thoroughly discussed.
The steady growth of the silver senti-
ment since the state convention is sub
| iect of general amazement and concern
to the sound money element, and the ex-
pressl ons Of number of the delegates
| 70. day indicate that when Maryland an
swers the roll call at the convention a
surprising detection from the gold ranks
is more than possible. Four of the dele
gates -Messrs. Pattison and Lewis, of
the 1st district, and Claggett and Jones,
of the 5th-are avowedly silver men, and
the indications point toward a substan-
tial gain of others, who are now on the
fence.
| Senator Crothers, of Cecil county, told
the correspondent that he was astounded
to see the strength of the free coinage
element in his county. He said:
"Numbers Of Republicans are now i'm.
bued with the silver sentiment, and l
should not be in the least surprised to
see a big defectior from their ranks in
the fall. The county has been food cd
with free coinage literature, which the
farmers read and regard as gospel. In
fact, no statements are too extravagant
to find some believers, and had the silver
men realized their strength they could
easily have dominated the recent state
convention"
Delegate Jones, of Calvert, said that
nine out of every ten voters In his county
we're silver men, regardless Of party
sfiliations. Delegate Clsggett, of Prince
Georges, is an enthusiastic silver man,
and looks for a trium phant Democratic
victory on that issue in the fall. There
is some talk Of bringing Mr.. Claggett
forward ss contestant for the Demo
cratic congressional nomination from the
5th district.
The Maryland delegation, at its meet.
ing, selected Mr.. John 3. Hurst as chair.
man Of the delegation. The delegates
and majority Of the Marylanders who
will attend the convention leave for Chi.
cago Saturday morning.
