Feel badIy?'' said he in reply to a
question. ''Of course. The situation is
not one calculated to develop over
cheerfulness. but what was to be done?
One cannot sacrifice the convictions of
a life time to
MEET THE PALTRY PURPOSE
Of maintaining party name"
Further than this the Colorado sena-
tor declined to say anything, remark
ing that he had given full expression to
his feelings in the convention.
During the aftecnon a number Of
modest white badges made their ap-
pearance at Colorado quarters bearing
the inscription:
-..--.-.-.--. -......--....-.--.
We are as solid fer Teller as
Teller is solid for silver" :.

twerty-'three were, from scattering
STAKES and territories.
1t was we'll understood among the
boiling delegates that, while only one
delegate from Montana, Congressman
Hartman, went out in the bolt. the
full delegation was in perfect sympathy
with the movement, Including Sena-
tors Carter and Mantle They had
differences OF opinion about the necss-
sity Of going bodily out of the hall.
some of them taking the position that
II would be just as effective for the
delegates to remain in their seats silent,
ard without participating in the pro-
eeedings, as it would to walk out. II
IS confidently expected that the Mon

with their boiling colleagues.
Counting Senator's Carter and Mantle
and the four senators, Teller Dubois,
Cannon and Pettigrew, who went out
there are six United States senators
who participated in the protest against
the gold plank. They constitute almost
one-ssVenth OF the Republican
strength in the senate
Their detection reduces the Republi-
can representation in the senate to 3S,
and makes the Republican vote one
less than that Of the Democrats. All
this, of course, depends upon the ex-
tent to which Carter and Mantle join
IN the independent movement. The
silver men regard this as one of the
strongest grounds of vantage occupied
by them.
During the afternoon. an informal
conference of the disaffected delegates
was hello at Senator Dubois rooms. at
which there were about twenty pres
ent The conference was held behind
closed doors, but the proceedings were
given out TIE essential feature was
a decision to place Senator Teller in
the field as
4 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
At o'clock it was officially an
nounced to the members of the press
IN waiting that the conference could
not give out its appeal to the people
until tomorrow.
In this appeal it is known that the
nomination Of Senator Teller. will be
recommended for president and a de-
claration OF Principles will b. made.
II was stated that no temporary or
Sanization had been effected: that the
conference was informal and for the
purpose Of an exchange of views.
Senators Cannon and Dubois and
others outlined celebrations of indie
pendence which differed only in form
except on enc point The point of
dIlference was as 10 where the twenty
three delegates who withdrew from
the convention had final jurisdiction of
the course to be pursued Senator
cannon led those who held that the
convention that selected them as dele
gai'as gave them the power to do as
was done in Withdrawing from the con-
vention, and proceeding in accordance
with the well known
WISHES OF THEIR CONsTTT11-
ENTS.
Others argued that they should not
proceed TO nominate an independent
ticket till they had submitted the pro-
pos ton TO the people by calling other
district and state conventions
An exception was conceded by all in
the case of Colorado, where the state
convention instructed its delegates 70
be governed by the views and action of
Senator Teller. While this action gave
the Colorado delegates general jurisdic-
uoa as TO their course. the1.s was a
h1rch because Senator Teller had been
requested not to be present, owing to
the desire of his associates 10 make
him their presidential candidate.
II was stated in the conference that
lhere were about one hundred other
C,slegates in the convention. who
wanted to cooperate with the silver
men, but who did not believe in only
boiling. and that they would cooperate
IN the independent movement on The
pan Of resubmission to the people. 1t
Is expected that the address viii be
signed BY about twenty-five or thirty
delegates. After
DISCUSSING THE ISSUE
as to the form OF proceeding and other
minor differences it was decided not
to make public the official declarations
OF the silver men till tomorrow. The
leaders viii meantime draft q daelars
ton for hime;allism that viii meet the 4
views Of all and at the same time out
line an agreed statement in justifca-
ton OF those who withdrew from the
convention.
During the conference all those dele
gates who had withdrawn from the ,
convention took of their badges. These
badges and the delegates tickets were 3.
