TELLER AT OMAHA.
He Slips in Unobserved and a Big Re
ception Declared OF

Omaha, June Ex-senator Henry NJ
Teller OF Colorado was billed to pass
through Omaha this afternoon at three
O'Clock.
Judge d. ID. Gregory and a commit
tee from the Republican bimetalllc
league had arranged to meet Senator
Teller at the union depot in this city.
The senator had wired that he would
be here only about 20 minutes as he
would so right through to Denver. 1T
was arranged that a cordial invitation
be extended to all friends of silver to
go to the depot and meet the distin-
guished trans AIississippian.
To the surprise Of all, however, the
senator came in this morning and was
quietly resting in q hotel before his
friends learned he was here AT noon
he went to Judge GregOry's Office and
remained awhile. The reception was
declared off but the senator met q unm-
Der of friends around town
He was greeted heartily by many OF
the prominent free silverites and with
them discussed the best means for ex-
tending the faith.
@. r. Scott, Paul Vandervort and G..
M Hitchcock We're among the citizens
with whom he spent most of his time.
To a representative of the Associated
h'TesS senator Teller said that he was
feeling better than at any time since
the st. Louis convention. He said that
the convention had been q terrible
strain upon him and after leaving it
he felt obliged to retreat TO his moth
er'S home in western Illinois for some
needed rest. He had been there until
yesterday He was going home to re-
ceive q reception which the people OF
Denver had arranged for him tomorrow
evening. He said. II don't take much
stock in these receptions but j cannot
very well ignore them
At the start Senator Teller insisted
that he must be interviewed upon the
silver question, or upon anything Dor
dering on it,
Senator Teller said there could be no
doubt that the free silver idea was
gaming strength every day While
most of the gains had been in the west
he believed that considerable inr0ads
were being made into the ranks of the
gold bugs of the cast" He said that If
all the believers in free silver in the
United States could be united they
would carry everything before them.
do you think the Chicago convention
Will declare for free silver2'
There can row be no doubt about
that, replied Senator Teller
Would you accept the nomination
Tor president from that convention 90
Il should prefer not to answer that
question NO man can accept or de-
cline that which has never been ten
dered him."
do you think the nomination of
BOies or Bland would be acceptable to
the free silver Republicans of the
Rocky Mountain states?"
Yes I think our people would SUD-
port either of those gentlemen. or any
other man of good character and abiI-
ity who is recognized by those favorinE

Would such "a man carry the noun
tain states that usually have gone Re-

THAT cannot answer; any of those
men would poll an enormous vote, but
whether they would carry one or more
