The Big Seventh is repre-
sented in congress by a Judas.
Notwithstanding the fact
that he pledged himself in
favor of free silver before his
election, he went to congress
and voted against it. But
the people were warned
against him and they would
not hear. Will they intensity
the injury by re-electing him!
We will wait patiently and
see.

AS LONG as the rich are allowed to

Out TO Welcome Their Hero.
Denver, Col, July 1.-Senator Teller. on
his arrival here today, was greeted by n
great outpouring of people from all over
the state. The greeting and reception
was non-partisan and it is doubted if the
scenes of enthusiasm have ever been
paralleled in western history. The eX-
plosion of a bomb ut the depot at o'clock
announced the senator's arrival. I'm
mense flags and pictures of the senator
and banners of welcome were everywhere
displayed. An immense parade was al
ready formed. Military and civic and
labor organizations made up the process
sion and the Teller Silver Club" 1000
strong, was in line. AS the senator step
mighty shout. The roar of human voice
drowned out the noise of the bombs.
A carriage was in waiting, and after
much effort the senator reached it. Five
hundred young men detached the horses.
tied IL long rope to the pole and dragged
the vehicle. Along the line of the pro-
cession he was accorded continuous
ovation. At Seventeenth and Broadway
Senator Teller reviewed the parade. His
remarks to the crowd were brief and
mainly local.

silver have to do is to get together he
said. There are friends enough of
silver to dominate and control this coun-

which is not adopted to suit Great Brit

never yield up single days wages that
belongs to the American workingman; a
sound dollar as sound as the government

that is good, not only at home, but good
wherever it goes as good in the hands
of farmer or workingman as in the
hands of capitalist, a manufacturer
or a corporation.

MIR WILLIAMS VIEWS.

Georgetown, Tex, July 1.-(Special)
Mr.. Marion Williams, who has been
appointed one of the delegates at large
from Texas to the national POpulist con-
venton to meet in st. Louis July %,
came over from Austin this morning.
Upon being asked for an expression
of his views as to the prospects of CO.
alition of the Populists and free silver
Democrats, Mr.. Williams said: 81 don't
think it possible for us to enter into a
combination with the silver Democrats.
They are so arrogant and so pulled up
with the hope of controlling the national
convention that they are only willing to
consolidate with us on the plan that
Jonah and the whale consolidated, and
they propose to do the whale act. This
plan will not be countenanced by the
Popnlists. ......o,,
tation are just as important as the ques-
ton of free coinage of silver and we
will not be willing to surrender our con-
victOns on these questions for the sake
of giving a few soreheads and mug
wumps an office. In fact. | believe
that in two years the silver Democrats
will be lust as enthusiastic for the gov
eminent ownership of public utilities as
they are now for the free coinage of sill
YER The head of the average silver
Democrat hasn't room for more than
one idea at a time, and therefore they
can not grasp the situation. Conse-
1uently, there is no hope for union
with them
"As to Senator Teller, he has shown
his patriotism by abandoning his party
for the sake of principle, and if a union
can be effected with the free silver Re
publcans and the Populists without the
sacrifice of the cardinal principles of the
Omaha platform, l would be willing to
support him."

THE SULTAN IN TROURLE

New York, July "A special to the Her
aid from Phillioplis says: The sultan
has dismissed Osmana Pasha, governor
of Damascus, and has ordered him to be
tried by court martial. He is accused of
being responsible for the revolt of the
Druses.
The Societie de Navigation has refused
to transport Turkish troops unless it re.
ceives immediate payment from the gov
eminent. The treasury, however, is en-
tirely empty. The situation in Crete is
becoming more complicated every day
The sultan, in spite of the opposition OF
the diplomatic corps, insists upon calling
the Hamidje regiments to Constantine
pie. He is receiving menacing letters
from the young members of the Turkish
party demanding the immediate introduc
ton of certain reforms.
Redwah Pasha, governor of CONSTANT

Jacksonville, Fla, July 3.-Capt. Ed
ward G. Riley, charged with conducting
an armed expedition, that of the Ber-
muda. from this port April 81, was re-
leased today. Two sailors who were
aboard the steamer were the only wit
nesses examined. They testified that
Capt Riley did not take command until
the vessel was outside the three mile

THINKS 1T AN EYE-OPENER.

London, July 4.-The Daily News Glib
eraD, discussing the Venezuelan question
this morning, expresses the belief that
the arrest of Mr.. Harrison, crown sur
veyor of British Guiana, will assist to a
settlement of the boundary dispute. since
it will open the eyes of ''our friends in the
United States to the nature of the prob
lem with which we have so long been con-
fronted"
1t would he good for the Venezuelans,
the Daily News continues, to experience
the irritation of the United States. The
LATTER having taken a certain amount of
responsibility for the Venezuelan govern
ment, will begin to realize that there are
reasons for Great Brtain's apparent stub
bornness.
When Great Britain, the pioneer in in
ternational arbitration, declines or limits
it she is likely to be in the right and it
only requires time to prove this to our
friends in the United States.

DREAMS OF PEACE SPOILED.

Georgetown, Tex, July 1.-(Special.)
The feeling of peace and absolute Sc
curity that has been resting like heav-
emily benediction over the free silverites
of this county has been knocked higher
than Il kite by the announcement, first
given to the world by the Statesman re-
porter, that the sound money Democrats
of Williamson county were stirring into
life preparatory to organizing.
Col. b. A. Strange and other sound
money Democrats are circulating the fol-
lowing for signatures: "All Democrats
who are in sympathy with sound
money movement in Williamson county
are requested to attend mass meeting
to be held at Taylor, Saturday, July Is.
for the purpose of electing delegates to

come before the meeting" The call is
