OF His Course In Standing
by Silver


DENVER, Col, July 1.-Senator Henry
M. Teller could have aroused the West to
no greater demonstrations of approval
had he been sovereign of an empire or
President of republic. All last night
his progress west from Omaha along the
line of the Union Pacific was marked by
noisy demonstrations at every stopping
point in Nebraska. Bands met him with
energetic martial and patriotic airs.
crowds cheered and demanded a speech.
and at many places the Senator was fairly
dragged from the train and mounted upon
boxes, where he could be seen as he
thanked the people for their good feelings
toward him and the cause he has been
championing. 1t was long after midnight
before his party or any other passengers
on the train could take any comfort or
rest.
at an early hour this morning the Sem
ator and his wife stepped from the train
at Greeley, where Lieutenant-G Governor
Jud Brush met him and drove the guests
to his comfortable ranch home, where a.
quiet day was passed.

early hour. There Senator Teller was met
and taken under their escort. Governor
McIntire, Mayor McMurray, 1. N. Stevens,
Z. 5. Thomas, Irving Howbert, Alva
Adams, I. M. Patterson, j. B. Grant and
other prominent citiZs ms of all political
parties were included in this committee.
The explosion of a bomb at the Union
depot at 7:45 o'clock announced the ar
rival of the Greeley train; a second bomb
gave notice that Senator Teller was in the
carriage, and a third bomb at 8 o'clock
was the signal for the parade to move.
The streets at that hour along the line of
march were densely crowded with enthu-
siastic voters of both sexes, and Senator
Teller's progress at the head of the parade
was easily marked by the roars of cheers
that rapidly rolled up Seventeenth street
and thence along devious line of march,
formally passing in review before the
grand stand erected in front of the Brown
Palace Hotel.
The parade was a great affair. Many
bands were in the procession. Gilpin
County citizens were given the place of
honor, just behind Senator Teller's car
riage. The Colorado National Guards, the
several cadet companies and the artillery
made up the military part of the parade.
Old pioneers came next, women marching
with men; then great line of civic,
social, political, benevolent and trades
societies followed.
During the progress OF the paraoe fire.
works were touched off all over the city,
and the streets resounded with the noise
of cheering and of explosives.
Arriving at the hotel, Senator Teller met
the entire delegation from st. Louis, which
had SO manfully stood by his side, and ac-
companied by the ladies of the party and
the reception mittee. he proceeded to
the reviewing stand. His appearance
there was the signal for one mighty and
prolonged shout of welcome from great
crush of people who filled Broadway,
Court place and Seventeenth street for a
distance of block in five directions from
the reviewing stand. There Governor Nc
Intire made brief address of welcome on
behalf of the people of the State, and Sena-
tor Teller replied. Neither address was
set speech. but was the result of the in
splrstion of the occasion.
