DENVER. July 1.-Senator Henry NJ
Teller, on arriving in Denver this after
noon, was met by great outpouring o
people from all parts of the state. The
demonstration was non partisan and il
is doubtful if the scenes of enthusiasm
have been parallclcd in western history
Senator Teller left Cheyenne this morn
ING and went to Greeley, so miles north
of here, on the Union Pacific, where he
remained until the arrival of a special
train from Denver bearing the reception
committee, which Was headed by Coy
crnor Mcintyre and Mayor McMurray.
AT Greeley the senator received his first
ovation, the farmers having driven in
from miles around, and the station be-
ing crowded with the enthusiastic agri-
culturalists. The run to Denver was
marked by succession of oYations at
small towns in the Platte valley.
The explosion of a bomb at the Union
depot at $ p m. announced the arrival
OF the special train in Denver. The
streets were jammed with people. I'm
mense flags and pennants, pictures of
the senator, and banners of welcome
were every where displayed Half the
individuals in the crowd waved small
white flags on which were printed por-
traits OF the senator. An immense pa
rade was already formed. Military and
civic and labor organizations made up
the procession and the Teller Silver club
1000 strong, was in line. As the sena-
tor stepped from the train there went up
mighty shout The roar of human
voices drowned the noise of the bombs.
Six hundred people from Gllpin county,
Senator Tcller's home, who had camped
at the station the greater part Of the aft
ernoon, rushed pellmel after him, wav-
ing flags and shouting vociferously.
A carriage was in waiting, and after
much effort the senator reached it, pre-
ceded by an escort of the Denver city
cavalry, Colorado national guards. The
carriage moved slowly up town, the
parade bringing up the rear. The car
riage was drawn by six white horses, but
had not proceeded four blocks before it |
was descended upon by about 800 young
men who detached the animals, tied long
ropes to the pole and dragged the
vehicle the remainder of the way them |
selves. Along the line Of procession
the senator WAS accorded continuous
ovation. At Seventeenth street and
Broadway, Senator Teller reviewed the
parade His appearance on the review
ing stand in company with the Colorado
delegates who bolted with him from the
convention al st. Louis was
made the occasion for general demon
stration among the 10000 people asaeu-
bled before him. After the parade had
passed, Gov. Mcintyre welcomed the
senator on behalf Of the state ard
Mayor McMurray on behalf of the city.
Judge f.. p. Bennett representing the
Colorado pioneers, who bad participated
N the street greeting. presented him
with a SILVER token.
Senator Teller y remarks 10 the crowd
we're brief and manly local. 81 have
'ccn your preventative in the senate
Tor 20 years." he said, 'anl it has been
ny great object and purpose to repre-
sent you honestly and conHcicntiouRly.
If ever the hour comes when ! cannot
10 that, will tell you so. | believe
lOW, that all the friends of nIvrr
lavc TO do, is TO get together. There
are frlrnds enough of silver to dominate
and control this country and adopt
system that is an American
system, and which is not adopted TO
suit Great Britain. IChccrs This
country is big enough to take care of
tsrIf and its affairs without the inter
ference Of any other nation. When we
arc united, all other sections of the
world will unite with us, and we will
nave true, honest and American sys-
EN- Of finance. Again thank you for
his magnificent honor"
