SENATOR TELLER TALKS.
Explains the Position of the Bolting
Silver Republicans.

DENVER, July 4.-Senator Teller
passed most of the day in his office re-
plying to his more important letters.
He does not wish at this time to sub
NIT to a formal interview, but to a
United Press correspondent in con-
fidential talk he expressed himself
clearly and positively upon several
phases of the political situation.
THE people of the country said he,
''need have no fear of the position OF the
Republicans who left the st. Louis Con-
yention Neither Mckinley nor the plat
form there adopted can claim any one
of us at any time. If we do not get
what we want in Chicago we shall go
to st. Louis, and failing there we will
be like many other men of the country
we will not vote at all. 1t is preposter-
Gus to talk of protection with such a
platform as that made by the st. Louis
Convention. Why, would rather vote
a free trade ticket than that. You SIM
ply cannot get protection on gold
platform. No, there is no doubt about
the loyalty of the friends OF silver and
bimetallism who left the St Louis Con-
vention. We shall support the Demo-
cratic ticket If it gives US a clear plat
form and an undoubted silver candi-
date, and expect to do. some talking in
California and down East as far as Illi-
nois for our cause in any event.

ideas. I have no patience with men
who think we cannot establish an in

CORRIGAN PUT TO SLEEP
Knocked Out by Van Buskirk in the
Second Round.

STOCKTON, July 4.-The boxing
tournament tonight drew some o,OoO
people to the Pavilion.
The first bout was a fOur-round con-
est between Charles Rochette and
Frank Raphael. The contest was spir-
tied but neither received decision.
Ben Maxwell and Jack Hopkins next
dcnned the mittens. At the end of the
first round Hopkins threw UP the
sponge, and Maxwell was given the de-
cision.
George Green and Armstrong next
spared four rounds, and drew much
applause for their quick work
The contest of the evening followed.
1t was between Van Buskirk and Patsy
Corrigan of Australia for six rounds.
Van Buskirk went at his man from the
start. Ee knocked the Australian
down three times in the first round, but
Corrigan seemed a glutton for pun
ishment, and again faced the music.
Van Buskirk went at him in the Sec
ord. Three times he knocked him down,
and finally got in a right on the jaw
that put Corrigan to sleep.
The police then interfered and pre-
vented the ten-round contest between
Charlie Turner and Tom Barry.

GREAT ROWING RACE

ST. PAUL, July 4.-The greatest race
ever roWed on Lake Minnetonka was
that won by the University of Wiscon-
sin eight over the Minnesotas OF 81.
Paul. The race was started at 6:2o, but
an accident occurred on the Wisconsin
boat at the third stroke. This caused
an exasperating delay of nearly TWO
hours, the Wisconsin boat being sent
to a carpenter to be repaired
Finally the boats were lined up again
at SIG and sent away in water that
was almost calm. The Badgers caugnr
the water first, and were soon a length
in the lead At the narrows, however,
amid over the course, the MlnnesotaS
spurted and pulled up to even terms.
In the next half the Wisconsin crew
pulled away again, and had nearly a
length the best of it. The last half
mile was magnificent. First one crew
and then the other spurted, the Wis
consins passing over the line a scant
quarter of a length to the good. The
time was 1912

The men who are urging Senator Tel
Ter as the nominee of the convention
are more emphatic than ever to-day in
their zeal for him. Representative
Hartman made this significant state
ment to a United Press reporter:
There has been no deviation from the
original plan of the silver men who be-
lieve that Senator Teller should be
nominated here. We formed our policy
before we came, and have adhered and
are still adhering to it, rumor to the
contrary Notwithstanding. Senator
Teller is not a candidate in any sense.
He has not been a candidate He has
not asked for support in securing the
nomination. He will not do anything to
bring about any sentiment in his favor,
and will keep away from the conven-
ton But if Senator Teller receives the
nomination he will accept it. l believe
that Teller will be nominated There IS
a great sentiment in his favor, and the
desire for him to lead the silver forces
is stronger than most people suppose.

EX-SECRETARY WHITNEY.
Friends Say He Has Been Placed in
False Position.

CHICAGO, July 4.-Some of Whit
ney's friends say he has been placed in
a false position by over-zealous support
ers of the gold standard. One of the
most prominent of the men who accom-
panied Mr.. Whitney to Chicago said to-
Gay that Mr.. Whitney did not come here
to be aggressive, but came in a concil-
iatory spirit. He wanted his fight to be
one of mildness and persuasion, and did
not desire the prominence which he has
attained as the leader of the forces op.
posed to the adoption of straight out
silver platform.
Mr.. Whitney feels somewhat annoyed
by the false position in which he has
been placed" said this gentleman. He
wants to bring about harmony by mild
persuasion, and not by an aggressive
fight against the silver men"
The Massachusetts people are saying
to-day that George Fred Williams will
not stand as one of the Massachusetts
delegates, in view of his published in
terview showing leaning towards sill
YER, and they may make an effort to get
him to withdraw. They base this feel
ing on the ground that Mr. Williams
was selected by a convention that de-
clared in favor of the gold standard.
and he therefore does not represent the
feeling of the Democracy of the State

same time electing delegates to State
Convention which will be called after
the National Convention shall have fin

rent to the effect that some members of

Friends of the Governor, however, smile
at these reports, and say the delegation

John T. Dye of Indianapolis, general
attorney of the Big -Four Railroad Com
pany, one of the committee Of sound
money men from Indiana now in the
field, says he sees no other course for
the opponents of the free silver idea to
pursue than to bolt the platform and

at the dedicatory exercises of the

nothing of political nature, but think

cluded that it might be we'll to take ad-
vantage of this National holiday to

ly deferred to another Democrat from

Would you vote for Stevenson"
Yes, for his silver views are sound.
But it is not candidates we are fight
ing for; it is bimetallism and our
countrys prosperity. In any event we
must unite the silver forces and thereby
carry the elections next fall. l don't
want to prejudice the cause of any of
the Chicago candidates, and have been
frank with you only to show you my po-
sition. I am sincere admirer of Mr..

COLORADO POPULISTS.
DENVER, July 4.-The State Con-
vention of the Populists held here to- day

Convention that will favor a union of
all silver forces, while maintaining the

will work to secure an Endorsement Of
the Democratic party nominee in Chi

delegation is such as to secure the
councils and advice of Senator Henry M.
Teller. whose wishes will be consulted
before the delegation goes to the Ma
tional Convention. The platform,
which is short, indorsed Senator Tel
ler's course as consistent to the last, ad-
yised the adoption of plank favoring
direct legislation, and is fully explicit
on the financial question.

SILVER FORCES
Devote Themselves to Talking Over
the Temporary Chairmanship.

CHICAGO, July 4.-The silver forces
devoted themselves this morning to
comforting with each other as to who
would be the most acceptable man
among them to present for temporary
Chairman. The silver men did not
meet in formal conference, but Senators
Jones and Harris, Governor Altgeld
ard other leaders held a meeting and
sent for the leaders of the silver men
in the respective delegations, and dis
cussed with them separately the merits
Of the various persons mentioned in
connection with the temporary Chair
manship of the convention.
Among the names thus canvaSsed
were those of Charles S. Thomas of
Colorado, H. d. Money of Mississippi,
Senator Harris of Tennessee and j. d.
Richardson of Tennessee. Mr.. Thomas
is developing more strength than any of
the men named, and as he Is member
of the National Committee, it is claimed
by his supporters that he may receive
the Endorsement of his fellow members
on personal grounds. After the Jones
silver committee shall have learned
the differences of opinion, it is deter
mined to acquaint the selection of the
silver men for temporary Chairman,
and that this man will receive the unit
ed support of the silverites.
The subcommittee will, however, be
guided in it's selection of a temporary
Chairman solely by the degree of unan-
unity which the silver leaders and dele
gates express for any one man. In case
OF pronounced division of sentiment in
the matter, further conference will be
held. The names and addresses of the
leaders In each delegation are in the
possession of Chairman Jones, and a
conference can be assembled within an
hours notice.

Sir Richard Webster, the Attorney

the toast he paid a high tribute to
American institutions, which he de-
clared were as near perfection as hu-

make them. This sta !ement was greeted
with cheers.
Continuing, Sir Richard dwelt upon
the honor and dignity with which Mr..
Cleveland had filled the office of Presi-
dent.

his toast he said the experience of 10

heart formed so greatly the strength OF

assembling of Americans in London.
He felt completely at home. AS much

to the visit to England of the Honorary

spirit that would seek to create conten-

Government used to give value and
make wealth for the benefit of the few
to the burden and expense of the many.
Surely this principle has no place in our
Democratic creed.
This new doctrine, Republican in
principle is in line with past Republi-
can policy, only just discarded, in the
hope that the Democratic party may be
deluded into putting on the Republican
cast-off clothing. Only six years ago,
coupling protection with silver, the Re-
publican party passed over Democratic
protest the Sherman silver law, which
soon brought ruin and disaster, and
which was repealed upon demand of
the conservative and business inter-
estS of the country. Protection again
made it's bargain with silver, deceiv-
ing the people with a straddle and
cheating it's partner to the trade. And
now it has nominated as it's candidate
one whose record. is more shaky even
than it's own, and whose cOwardly 81
lence is ominous to future trade and
commerce. Can our party of to-day,
with any sincerity or upon any Demo-
cratic principle, follow in these Repub-
lican footsteps? Can it hope for any
success in repudiating its own hon
orable record? Can it even maintain
it's honor and it's life in this departure
from it's own faith?
May I, in closing, say word on
the political position? I am not here
to say any word in favor of any sec
tion of our party, but / state an evil
dent fact when I say that If our party
takes this false step it will lose much
of its national character, abandon
some of its great principles, and there
Will be thousands, tens, yes, hundreds
of thousands of it's soldiers who can
not follow it as it pursues its will O.
the wisp' under it's new and radical
leaders. AS a Northern and National
Democrat, / implore our brethren in
the West and South, by whose side we
would love to fight, whose principles
we have jointly held, for whose inter
ests we have labored and suffered, and
in whose victories we have done our
part, 1 implore them to save our party
from a course which will rudely break
the closest ties and send us divided
and discredited to a great and lasting
defeat"
Mr.. Russell was frequently applaud
ed
When Mr.. Russell resumed his seat,
amid much cheering. Mr.. MacVeagh
introduced to the audience Senator
Gray of Delaware. Senator Gray de-
fined the meeting as a protest against
the PRONUNCIATION of a dangerous her
esy and a departure from the ancient
faith Of the Democratic party. He
said there was not a silver standard
country in the world to-day where the
laboringman received fair pay for a
days work.
When Mr.. Gray concluded there were
loud calls for Senator Hill. Mr.. Mac

that Senator Hill was not in the hall.
He introduced Colonel John r. Fellows
Of New York, and at the close of his

clared adjourned.
