A SILVER PARTY.
The Boilers Will Form On, and Run Tel
ler for President

The silver leaders who bolted from the
National Republican Convention have issued
an address 10 the people, which indicates
their determination to secure the nomination
II possible OF Senator Henry VI. Teller, OF
Colorado, for President on a limited silver
coinage platform.
The address reviews the arguments In
favor Of free silver, and then continues:
1--WE invoke the union OF all men and all
parties who believe that the time has come
for the triumph Of justice. IL Is an hour
when the people may speak for themselves
as individuals and through conventions yet

to indicate his preference.
with this in view, we o ffer TO the forth
coming conventions and to the peo pie the
name Of man for tho Presidendy Of tho
United States whose life In public and private
represents those distinguished virtues which
adorned the days and the deeds Of the earlier
times Of this republic; u return TO which vir-
tues Is requisite for the prosperity and con
tentment Of the people and the perpetuity
and commanding example Of free institu-
tions, That man is Henry NJ. Teller--a man
OF the people and for the people.
"lt Il not merely as the exponent Of mon
etary reform that we present this man to the
people IL Is true he has waged u mighty
war for the restoration OF the money OF the

fled as that OF no other living man with this
great cause, But had his services been less
demanded and less noticed In this direction,
the people would still have recognized in
him for other labors. "a statesman OF the
purest type. His only poverty has been that
Of purse; In all things else-in the gener-
Osities OF man to man-iE kindliness OF
deeds for his fellows, and in the study and
dongs OF mighty career-he has been one
OF the most oppulent American citizens Of
any age.
"In submitting his name to the people we
remind YOU that just generation ago, from
the heart Of tho boundless, as though touched
by the finger OF God, there arose an emancl-
pator who was powerful in the work of hu-
man deliyerance. BY his wisdom and cour-
age, providentially directed, millions were
set free, and the Nation kept In its holy un-
ion. II others shall see this opportunity as
We see it, II our fellow citizens shall SEQ this
duty as we see 1t, that sublime history may
be repeated. and another man. clothed In the
majesty Of devotion TO the race. will be lifted
TO power, where, by his wisdom and courage
proyidentially directed, more millions may
be made free from chains as CALLING as those
OF actual slavery, and the Nation may be
preserved in the unity OF It's mission to the
