DENVER, July 23.-senators Teller.
Dubois and Mantle and Congressman
Hartman and Shafroth were the
principal speakers at a Bryan and
Sewau ratification meeting at the
Broadway theatre tonight addressing
5000 people. The ratification was
given by the local dramatic campaign
clubs and was presided over by Hon.
Caldwell Yeaman. Senator TeIIer's ad-
dress was brief as ne stated that he
desired to have his friends heard. He
declared that he believed the Repub.
lican party held no hope for bimetai-
ism and that its present leaders had
never lifted a hand or voice to aszs
it, internationally or otherwise. wheIy
the chances We're favorable.
'@The men who forced the gold plat.
form at st. Louis" he asserted, "dC
not want international -bimetallism
any more than do the gold interests ot
Great Britain" he said he, considered
it his duty TO support the Chicago
nominee. He is on a platformk ne

ISSUE SQUARELY DRAWN.
The introduction Of Senator Dubois
Of Idaho resulted in q. tremendous Ova-
ton and il was some minutes before
ne could speak. This was his first pub
lie appearance since he left the ST.
Louis convention.
After paying a tribute to Senator
Teller, Mr.. Dubois said.
SOphistries and rednements Of rea-
sOn3ng will not avail in this struggle
now upon us, especially in the noun
tain states. The issue is squarely
drawn, and We are either for silver or
for narrow partiSanslip. Inasmuch as
the Republican party has declared for
the single gold standard, L trust our
opponents viii not insult our intelli-
gence By supporting that party unless
they declare also for the Single gold
standard. There is but one issue before
US today The difference between the
parties regarding the tariff is only the
difference Of schedules, and whether
the rates of duty shall be fixed at 40
or 45 cents cannot be made an exciting
subject of controversy. 1 am a believer
in the principle of protection, and
after this money question is settled in
favor Of silver, win contend IN the
future, as in the past, Tor this principle.
[ do not abandon it at al Tut SO long
as we remain on the gold standard
NO AMOUNT OF PROTECTIOQ
WILL PROTECT
our manufacturers and Iaborers; hence
it is my duty to aid in the restoration
of silver, first leaving other questions
in allegiance until that is accom-
plishsd.
1T is not necessary for me to join
the Democratic party nor have L done
so, but while the national Republican
party persists in It's advocacy Of the
single gold standard, Just 50 long Will
I refuse it my support, and give my
adhesion to those national candidates
who most truly represent the cause Of
bimetallism.
Our candidate for president. 8Ir.
Bryan, by his high personal character,
his ability. his patriotism and his I'M
swerving devotion to bimetallism is en-
titled TO the energetic support of every
one who desires to rescue the couu-
try from the miseries which we never
can shake OFF SO long as we cling to
the single sold standard"
OUTsHONE DUBOIS.
The reception Of Senator Mantle. Of
Montana, who also addressed an au-
dience for the first time since the St
Louis convention, was even more enshu-
siastic than that given Senator Du-
bOis and Teller. He said that ne spoke
for an overwhelming majority of the
Republicans Of Montana. when he as
serted that they We're ready and will
ing 20 join arms with the people Of
the west and south, en- this demand
for monetary reform. and cast or once
and for all a financial system that was
ur-American and unpatriOtic.
He said that he did not speak as
Democrat but as a silver Republican.
and went on. Il can see no better way
of enforcing my protest against the
national platform adopted by the party
to which ] belong than for voting for
the Chicago nominees.
4 am not supporting the Democratic
nominees. because they are Democrats,
but because they are bimetaliists. The
Democratic nominee comes nearer 60
representing Republican principles, as
have understood them, than does the
Republican nominee himself
THIS Is NOT y PARTY PRINCIPLE.

questionable silver question found the
Democratic parry, and it found it in
a most depiorable condition. We must
