PUEBLO, COL, July 10.-Senator
Teller tonight gave the following IN
terview to the Associated Press after
receiving numerous telegrams from
his silver colleagues, regarding a con-
ference which will probably be held
at Denver.
What do you think OF Mr.. Bryan S
nomination.
Il consider the nomination an ex-
ceptionally strong one" said the SEN
ator. Bryan is an able man OF high
character, q strong friend OF silver
aud close to tie people. He will make
an excellent Presided" "
do you think he can secure the
support OF the men who left the st.
Louis conventions
THE men who left the ST. Louis
convention" replied Mr.. Teller, will
make the silver question paramount
to all others. It is not qustion of
politics with them but Of principle. "

What Mr.. Bryan Says.

CHICAGO, July 10.-Mr. Bryan re-
ceived the announcement Of his noml.
nation with all the composure and
calmness of man who had been used
to such things during longer life
than his. His handsome black eyes
were perhaps slightly more dilated
than ordinarily when the Associated
Press bulletin carrying the nomlna-
ton message was handed to him, but
otherwise he manifested no change Of
countenance or manner. He was at
the time sitting chatting with two
newspaper friends in his parloi at the
Clifton House.
IF" said he, this is true, l want to
do that which I have some time had
in contemplation in this emergency"
He then turned to the parlor table and
with lead pencil wrote on scrap OF
soft paper supplied by one of his news
paper visitors the following:
''To the American People: In order
that I may have no ambition but to
discharge faithfully the duties of the
office, l desire to announce that If
elected President shall under no cir.
cumstances be candidate for re cleo
ton. W. j. BRYAN"
Then Mr.. Bryan went into the Cliff
ton House barber shop and gotshaved.
AS he came out great crowd gather
ed and called for a speech to which he
briefly responded Later in the even
ing the Bland club, headed by band,
paraded to the hotel accompanied by
an immense crowd, and in response to
repeated calls, Mr.. Bryan appeared on
the balcony and spoke for ten minutes,
arousing the greatest enthusiasm.
Telelegrams Of congratulation are to-
night pouring in from all sections.

THES4ADOW OF CRlME.l;
a Fnsutivs Rests Quietly For Eighteen
Years-A Strange Story.

COLUMBIA, S. G., July 9-The
drama of life Las many curious phases,
but seldom is a more peculiar phase
found than that presented in the story
of a man who has been living in this
county for nearly two decades. The
man came to Lower Richland about IS
years ago and has been living the life
Of peaceful, industrious citizen, max
ing his living by successful farming;
yet the shadow Of a past crime has
been lowering over him all these
years. AS time went ON he must have
felt secure and thought that the shadow
had passed away. But an incident,
purely accidental, has been the means
of his undoing.
Recently the following appeared in
the Atlanta Journal:
Governor Atkinson has received
from South Carolina a letter telling Of
a Georgia murderer who is living there
under an assumed name and giving
an exact description Of the man to,
gether with the locality ia which he
can be found.
THE letter is as follows:
Richland County, S. c., June l.
''Some II or is years ago man
calling himself Thomas NJ. Miller
came to this State He ran away from
Georgia for killinga a man and changed
his name. This man is 35 years old,
perhaps older, viii weigh 1S5 or 300
pounds, some six feet high, large bone,
but not feshy, red, frecEled face, au-
burn hair and beard, very fond OF
joking and is man OF no education.
The way this leaked out, citizen OF
South Carolina was standing on the
sidewalk in Columbia talking to a
Georgian when this man, calling him,
self Miller, passed by, and the Carroll
nian spoke to him as Miller, when the
Georgian said, Miller is not his
name. He killed man in Georgia
years ago and ran away
Miller says he is from Georgia, but
does not say what part Of the State he
is from and never hears from his ma
tive State. You can find him "a miles
from Columbia, near Eastover, on the
w liDlluS Lcu, NOIUllIUieh SiLlNt SAN tb2ht-
railroad Very respectfully,
"CAROLINIAN." :"
Since the appearance OF this article
the man has left all his possessions
and fled once more gone, DO one
knows whittier, thus showing that he
got wind of the discovery in some
way and indicating his guilt. Since
his disappearance the postmaster at
Eastoyer has received the following
letter:
Toccoa, Ga, June -, 1896
Dear Sir: | enclose clipping from
The Journal, which appeared some
days since. The description is very
accurate Of man | know who left
this State several years ago and has
not been heard from since. II you

s, Hill /. The whole number of votes
was 76S.
Chairman White said the proceed
ings had reached such a stage that it
became necessary to announce his con-
struction of the two-thirds rule. It
was that two, thirds Of the votes given
were necessary to nomination.
The fifth call was begun, and toote
of California declared: California
for the first time is solid and casts
eighteen votes for Bryan" Florida
carried eight Evotes to Bryan from
Matthews and Boies. Kentucky being
reached, Ollie James loomed up and
shouted: while kentucky loves her
great Democratic leader, and would
be glad to vote for him, they seem not
to want him because. he was Confed-
crate soldier. Therefore kentucky
casts her twenty. eight votes for the
worlds greatest orator, William }.
Bryan" AT this point the Illinois
delegation filed into the hall, their ap-
pearance stirring commotlon-
North Carolina casts twenty-five
votes "for the sure nominee Of this
convention, VIM. J. Cryan," was the
announcement of that State.
The twenty four votes of Tennessee
stepped into Bryan's camp, and almost
Immediately Virginia followed her
with the same number, both Of them
deserting Silver Dollar" Bland.
Three territories, Arizona, New Mexi-
CO and Indian Territory, marched
after them from the Bland standard
to Bryan, each one six strong.
The enthusiasm was aroused again
when big Buck" dinrichsen called
out the vote of Illinois for Bryan, the
most important desertion from Bland.
The nomination of Bryan seemed i'm
minent. There were cries "Ohio can
do il, and John R. Mclean appeared
on a chair holding a cane aloft, while
under him the other leaders seemed to
be squabbling. "Ohio withdraws the
name of Mclean" said that gentle
man, land casts fortysix votes for
BRYAN" His voice failed to carry
many feet SO that the dramatic stroke
was lost upon the galleries. There
was a connection afioat in the Texas
ranks next door to Ohio. Bryan had
492 votes. Montana with SIX and
Oaklahoma with the same number
swelled tito 504, two-thirds Of ali the
votes cast.

The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1896-03-17

In the silver cause we desire
always to be in the front, but we
see by the Illinois reform press
that they offer their columns to
the Bimetallic Party, free for all
notices that they may wish to
publish. We will do the same if
they are in good faith. We want
no pretended work of silver men
and meetings, who are simply
working that card to gain adj
vantage for the worst enemies of
silver-the main body of the Re-
publican party and the Cleveland
and Carlisle wing of Democracy.
All who mean true friendship to
gold and silver, come and we
will serve you to the best of our
ability. We want no traitors in
this cause, and none but those
who are in good faith.

DEAD HGHINsr silver.

The telegraphic report of the
debate in the senate on the tariff
bill a few days since, shows by
the Congressional Record that
the Republican party is dead
against silver. 1t reads
Mr.. Allen see present my
amiable friend the senator from
Rhode Island who always coach

Rhode Island, who has said he is
a bimetallist and that his party
is bimetallist party whether he
is willing to take the tariff bill
just exactly as it comes from the
house, with a free silver coinage
amendment attached to it ?
Mr.. Aldrich-Does the senator
from Nebraska wish an answer
from me ?
Mr.. Allen-I desire to have all
answer from some responsible
head of the Republican party, if
it has one.
Mr.. Aldrich-I answer, then,
frankly, no, with as much emph-
asis as it is possible for me to
use.
Mr.. Allen-I am glad to hear
it, because it stamps the Repub-
lican party as the enemy of BIN
etallism. Your party has been
incorporating for three years
under false pretenses in this
chamber.

Ex-Governor Patterson

Ex-Governor Patterson, of
Pennsylvania, is the one we wish
to speak concerning. Mr.. Pat
terson is a goldite, without the
least doubt. At the World S
Fair he delivered a very elabor-
ate and exhaustive address on
the resources of the Keystone
State-presenting her every good
ways of prosperity and thrift
but in his very able and pleasing
address, otherwise, he had to
stoop to give silver heavy blow.
Let every silver man, in what
ever party, remember that he
is their enemy, no matter what
he may claim. We heard it out
of his own mouth. He is against
everything of the poor mans
except his vote. See that he
does not get it.

Alabama suggests that | ask you
if you will take the Mckinley
bill with free coinage. Will you
do that ?
Mr.. Platt-No.
Mr.. Allen-The senator from
Connecticut says no" Are
there any circumstances under
which you will take free coinage?
Mr.. Aldrich-No, sir.
Mr.. Platt-Except by an in
ternational agreement.
Mr.. Aldrich-Unless an inter.
national agreement on the sub
ject shall first be secured.
Mr.. Allen--Oh, yes. Now that
discloses exactly what we have
always claimed. There are no
circumstances under which you
are DluloUdlllSIS.
Mr.. Allen simply wanted to
say to the Republicans in this
chamber, you have A votes. If
you want to take your tariff bill
with free coinage amendment
attached to it, the Populist party
stand here pledged to give you
six votes to carry that measure.
Now, will you do it =?
Mr.. Platt-Mr. President, the
trouble with the senator from
Nebraska is that his only defini-
ton of bimetallism is the unlim-
tied coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1 by the United States
alone. l say that is no honest
definition of bin etallism. The
only honest definition of bimetal-
liSm--
Mr.. Teller-Will the senator
from Connecticut give us a def
milton of bimetallism ?
Mr.. Platt-The only honest
definition of bimetallism that has
been put forth in this country is
the definition put forth in the
platform of the Republican party
in 1892. What the senator from
Nebraska means is silver mono
metallism and nothing else. L
he supposes that the Republican

cerned, and so far as my speech
is concerned, l care nothing for
the abuse heaped on me, and
thank my critics for directing at
tention to my utterances. When
my facts and arguments have
been disproved l will apologize.
Until then decency demands that
men who abuse me for speaking
the truth should let their read
ers see it and judge for them
selves, or reserve their epithets
for men of their kind who dread
the truth and love cowardice.
If there is no need of reform,
reform will not come. If I rep
resent nothing but ignorance and
anarchy, why was | elected Gov
ernor of South Carolina twice by
such overwhelming majorities ?
For four years, as Executive,
fought and abused by corpora
tions and banks and their hire
ling newspapers, why did my
people send me to the senate by
vote of 1871 out of q total of 100
in the General Assembly Dur
ing these four years the state
advanced in material growth and
increase of taxable values more
rapidly than in any previous
period of its history. 1t spent a
half million dollars in the cree
ton and equipment of two of the
largest colleges for industrial,
technical and normal training in
the South--one for each sex.
And the Constitutional Conven-
ton, with which had O. great
deal to do, fixed constitutional
taxes so as to double the free
school fund; the saloons have
been banished from the state,
while three-fourths of the people
if not more, are firm supporters
of the new method of handling
the liquor traffic. These facts,
which are history, cannot be
sneezed at nor obliterated. An
archists don't write such history.
l have never shrunk from the
lashings of newspaper scribblers
IL the arena OF state politics, and
| will not begin to do so in the
broader field to which my com
mission from the people has
transferred me. If it is to be the
fate of this great Republic tc
sink to the level of Rome when
the Pr@torian guards were wont
to put the Emperorship up to the
highest bidder; if congress is tc
become or remain the cowardly
tool or purchasable agent of the
wealthy; if the Federal judiciary
are to undermine and destroy the
Constitution, as foretold by JEFF
. ferson; if our liberties are to be
lost through supine ignorance
and venality, I, as a sentinel or
the watch tower, holding a sac
red trust, cannot be charged with
having assisted my country to It's
degradation by giving note o.
warning. B. r. TILLMAN.

pose, and that is to challenge
those who have found so much
to condemn in my recent speech
in the Senate to a trial before the
jury of their readers, in which l
can have at least a show of JUS
tice. The New York Times edi-
torially terms me "a filthy ba-
boom" the New York Evening
Post "a political Anarchist" the
New York World "a blathers-
kite" the Philadelphia Record
calls me 1.-THE chieftain of the
Anarchists" and the st. Paul
Globe says: "This fellow brings
to the Senate the unsavory rec
ord he made in his state, a char
acter tattooed with dishonesty"
These are q few of the parlia-
mentary and elegant phrases en-
ployed by the polite and refined
editors of some of the leading
newspapers as applied to myself.
They have not read my speech,
they dare not publish it in full,
and, basing their criticisms upon
a few garbled extracts in which
l used strong language to ex-
press indignation and contempt,
they ask the people of the country
to render verdict against me as
a coarse, brutal, ignorant black
guard.
All the words and phrases
which occur in the speech to
which they take exception do
not exceed a dozen. They Meth
or add to nor take from the ar
guments and facts as presented.
Not single one of them is un-
parliamentary, and frequently,
in the same Senate, language as
violent, as coarse and as brutal
has been uttered in the past by a
dozen men whose names are
written high in our country's
history.
If my language was unparlia-
mentary and indecent, why did
no senator call me to order |! If
the charges were untrue, why
has no senator answered them,
and why do my newspaper crit
les not even attempt to answer
them 7 Is it supplementary
and indecent to tell the truth ?
Are we sunk to that low estate
that falsehood and treachery and
official dishonesty cannot be men
toned without calling down an
avalanche of abuse and SANDER
What other senators have whis-
pered among themselves | have
spoken aloud and in plain words.
What majority of the people OF
the country have thought and
felt have uttered.
This is the sum of my offend
ng, and the hireling editors and
reporters who now degrade the
so-called freedom of the press to
SO despicable level may dattel
themselves that they control
public opinion, but the thous
ands of letters that have poured
in on me from every quarter Of
the Union, mostly from the
North, and from men engaged in
every pursuit in life, have given
me assurance that the scales are
falling from the eyes of the
people and that the truth, brave
ly told, has sweet and whole.
some sound. The American
people as a whole, the great
common people," love the truth
and they love their country
They despise traitors and thieves
and towards. 1t is large mass
to move, but the leaven is al
work and the issue joined, anc
the result will be known on tn,
day of election.
So far as I am individually con
