believed. will stand Republicans A, Dem
ocrats 33, Populists and Independents Is.
This table takes all States out of the
doubtful column, placing Kentucky and
North Carolina in the Republican col
umn, rs Senator Butler said to-day that
a free silver Republican probably would
be returned by the fusionists: Delaware
in the Democratic column and Kansas
ana south Dakota in the independent and
Populist column. This will prevent the
Republicans. from taking control of the
senate unless some of those who bolced
the Republican platform Mt St Louis
should return
1t is difficult to estimate the exact
standing of the next Senate on the money
question owing TO the new alignment OF
parties in the recent campaign. Men
who have been pronounced silver men
have been supporting the Republican
PLATFORM and candidates and pronounced
gold men nave supported the Democratic
platform and candidates.
Perkins, of CALIFORNIA; Wolcott. of Col

ported silver legislation, and what course

WHAT TELLER THINKS.
He Says the Republican Party Will DO
Nothing For Silver.

Nothing For Silver.
Denver, Col, Nov. 6-Senator Henry
NJ. Teller, arrived here from the East to-
day. In an interview he said:
81 doc't think the Republican party
will do anything for silver during the
coming four years. The declaration of
the ST. Louis platform amounts to moth
ing, with n limitation put upon it. Be-
sides that, the men who dictated the st.
Louis platform are opposed to bimetal-
lism, internationally or otherwise. Nc
kinley, it seems to me, has shown by his
speeches that he would be the advocate
and supporter of the gold standard on the
ground that it is better standard than
bimetallism.
During the four years to come eX-
pect to see the Republican party abandon
all pretcnse to IL desire to secure interna-
tiOnal bimctallism and the contest will
hereafter be made between the gold stand
ard supporters and the organized hosts
of bimetallism. I think that four years
from now people will he sufficiently ed
ucated to understand the danger OF the
gold standard, and the party that stands
for bimetalism in 1900 by the United
States alone will he successful.
There is no reason why we should be
discouraged. Our candidate was all we
could desire and performed his part TO
perfection. We must not look backward
but forward. The silver forces have a
magnificent organization and now for the
first time the fight is transferred from
the silver States to the whole country
