parts of the state. The demonstration
was nonpartisan and il is doubtful if

he remained until the arrival of the
special train from Denver bearing the
reception committee, headed by Cover
nor McIntire and Mayor Murray. At
Greeley the senator received the first
ovation, the farmers having driven in
from miles around and the station be-
ing crowded with enthusiastic agricul-
turalists. The senator remained in
Greeley until 5 o'clock, when the re-
/, ception train arrived. AS he stepped
into the car he was repeatedly cheered
and in response to the enthusiasm
made a brief speech.
The run to Denver was marked by a
succession Of o%vations. AT the small
towns in the Platte valley crowds
gathered around the stations. An ex-
plosive bomb at the Union depot at s
p. m, announced the arrival of the spe-
cial train in Denver. Long before that
hour the streets of the city were jam
need with people. The towns of the
state had sent train loads of citizens
into Denver and the delegations from
the different counties WED in the con-
test Of cheering and yelling. Immense
flags and %pennants, pictures of the SEN
ator and banners of welcome were ev-
erywhere displayed and half the indi-
viduals in the crowd waved aloft small
white flags on which were printed por-
traits of the senator. An immense
parade already formed on the arrival
Of the train extending up Seventeenth
street for several blocks, military, civic
and labor organizations made up the
parade and the Teller Silver club"
1000 strong, was in line. AS the sem
ator stepped from the train there went
up a mighty howl. So great was the
pressure hat he could hardly make his
way to the carriage in waiting. The
roa of human voices drowned out
the noise of bombs and the people from
Gilpin county. Senator Teller's home,

The carriage in readiness for tho
senator was drawn by six white horses
and vas occupied, in addition to Tel
Ter, by the mayor and governor, es-
corted by the Denver city troop of Col
orado National Guards, and followed
by cheering Gilpinites, the remainder
Of the procession bringing up in the
rear. The carriage moved slowly up
Seventeenth street. A continual ova-
ton followed its course. From win
dows flags and handkerchiefs were
waved and from thousands on the
pavements came lusty cheers.
The enthusiasm reached a climax at
the corner of Sixteenth and Laramer
streets, where 500 men descended upon
the carriage unhitched the horses. tied
a long rope to the pole and drew the
carriage 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
