eventually do more to open the eyes
of the Republicans of the east to the
correctness of the position of the silver
men than anything that might be done
after it became evident that the sill
yer cause was a forlorn hope within
that convention.
THE adoption of the gold plank offers
to Democracy the opportunity of its
life. Will the party prove equal to
the occasion? have seen what money
did at ST. Louis. 1 think it will &C
complish quite as much at Chicago. If
it does, the question is: What are
Republicans to do? They might stand
by their party, with al its faults. for
it has redeeming features, but confess
that the immediate future is flied
with perplexing uncertainties.
Il did not bolt the convention for 1
felt that every Republican in UTAH
should have q direct voice in deciding
SO momentous a question as one in
volving the disruption of the party and
the sacrificing of its great tenet-that
of protection Personally, L do not
subscribe to the gold plank, nor do I
wish to support gold president, but
that is a matter of individual opinion.
To rebuke the party-to declare against
its false doctrines-the power lies with
each and every member of that party
taken collectively yet all standing on
the common level of American citi-
zens with equal opportunity to ap-
prove or disapprove-with equal claim
to the right to be heard If the Re
puhlicans of Utah are opposed to the
platform and candidate; if, under the
present status of the party, they can
not conscientiously give it support, or
advance its best interests; if, in their
judgment it has fallen from grace,
the proper course, and the only way,
to withdraw from the party is by mass
convention, when in common council
they can pronounce against the nation
al convention and the party.
The situation at ST. Louis was this:
The majority of the Republicans were
from the great east, where tariff has
been, and is, the issue, and little is
known of the money question Unlike
the western people, they have not been
forced to investigate the money eues-
ton, and, when the issue came sud-
denly upon them, they unwittingly
trusted to the bankers, the supposed
wfseacres of finance. But when the
campaign of education lately started
by the silver men, shall embrace the
east, my firm belief is that the most
ardent and devoted advocates of remon-
citation will be the rank. and file of
the Republicans of that section, unless
the late unpleasant events have biased
them beyond redemption

DENVER, June "a special to the
News from Washington gives an in
terview with Senator Stewart, OF Ne
vada, who leaves tomorrow for Chi
cago. 1t is, in part, as follows:
What men do you think would best
unite the silver forces of the country ~
The two men who appear to com
mand the confidence of all people alike
are Henry NJ. Teller and Joseph c.
Stbley. For character and atlity,
Henry M. Teller is the peer of any
statesman in the United States. His
ability is equal to that of any man
who has run for the office of president
in the last half century.
HE WAS A DEMOCRAT
previous to the war Since then he
was Republican until the meeting of
the convention at st. Louis, since which
time he belongs to no party. He is
am American citizen and belongs to all
the people alike. He has not cooper
ated with The Republican party in their
departure from the principles for which
the party was originally established.
His name is a guarantee that he is
with the people on the money question.
His services in that respect have been
equal to any. He is not a sectional
man, but a broad-minded statesman.
He would not go with Sherman, Nc
Kinley, Lodge and their cOnspirators.
if 1 may be allowed to use that term.
in favor of the force bill, which was a
bill to transfer the control of the local
elections to the executive of the Unit
ed States. He was one of the silver
Republicans who came to
THE RELIEF OF THE COUNTRY
and defeated the revolutionary bill.
He is moderate in his viaws on the
tariff question, as his votes and speeches
will show In short, he is a national
man, entertaining no views which are
in conflict with any true American
His nomination would. of course, mean
success
Could the Democrats afford to nom
mate Teller?"
Il think the Democrats can afford
to nominate a man who will insure
success L think they can afford to
have success"
OF COURSE.
Would the Populists support Mr..
Teller?''
Certainly. The Populists could vote
for Mr. Teller. Mr.. Teller has done
recently what the Populists did long
ago. He has left his party because he
believed his party was against the
country
Would the Democrats at Chicago
who voted for Mr.. Teller be considered
as departing from their party?"
Certainly not; if he is nominated by
their party. He is still Democrat
in the highest sense. He belongs to
no party. If. they nominate him, he is
their man, because he is the man Of
the whole country. They don't aban-
don their organization. They abandon
nothing. They do it in their organiza-
tior. whereas the Populists, in sup
porting Mr.. Teller, take the nominee
of the Democratic party"

CUBAN CHAT.
ST. Louis Platform Causes Uneasi-
ness in Spain.

ness IN spain
NEW YORK, June pa special to
the Herald from Madrid says: The
statement contained in the Daily Mail
telegram to the effect that the plat
form adopted by the ST. Louis con
vention causes uneasiness in Spain and
that it is feared a conflict with the
United States has now almost a fixed
date. is misleading. While there does
exist certain feeling of unrest ON &C
count of the declaration of the con-
vention touching the Cuban question,
it must not be imagined that it is
dictated by fear, but rather springs
from very natural desire TO know the
worst at once There can be no ques-
ton that Spain is making preparations
for eventualities, but she is certainly
not doing so with any intention OF maxi
ing war, but in order to be in as good
a position as possible to defend herself
if attacked The purchase of ironclads
can scarcely be said to have been the
outcome of any immediate scare, as
this step has been in contemplation
for some time. but there is no doubt
that the action of the government has
been fastened by recent events. Tie
chief idea in strengthening the navy
is to be able to put stop to f1libuster-
ing and privateering- There is not
any great apprehension that Mr.. Nc
Klnley will if elected. act very differ
emily. is1 that capacity than Mr.. Cleye-
land has done.

WILKESBARRE DISASTER.
Practically Nothing Has Been Done
Toward Recovery.

Practically Nothing Has Been Done
Toward Recovery.
WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 20
The excitement at Twin shaft at Pitts
ton, where nearly 100 miners are en-
tombed continues today At the mouth
of the shaft besides the wives and
children of the entombed men, there
are hundreds of persons not residents
of Pittston alone but visitors from
Scranton and Wilkesbarre. The wives
and children stand near the opening
of the death chamber urging the
rescuers to greater efforts. Practically
nothing has been accomplished toward
the recovery of the men There is
scarcely man about the opening OF
the mine who does not believe the men
are all dead. The rescuing party
which went into the mine at II o'clock
came out at l. The foreman reports
that the timbering is going on as
rapidly as possible. The work is neces-
sar1ly slow owing to the danger of
falling rocks loosened by the explo-
sion. 1t is utterly impossible to begin
digging before late this afternoon. If
the slope is not completely choked
with debris the rescuers may possibly
be able to reach the men within
twenty-four hours; otherwise it may
party is 1000 feet from where the cave
in occurred. Gas continues to accumu-
late and tie room which was weaken

A survey Of the interior of the mine
this morning shows that the main
slope is blocked worse than the officials
are willing to admit. Fully sixty feet

that occurred before 4 o'clock this
morning. Fire Boss Johns said: TT is
my belief that the air current in the
twin shaft was shut off the moment
the explosion occurred; then if the men
were not killed by the falling rock and
coal, they may have lived some min
utes before being suffocated; OF, if the
space where they were was left clear.
gas may nave accumulated and ex-
plodsd, which would of course have
burned the men to death 1t is likely
it will not be known, how the men died
until the bodies are found.
The damage to the mine is estimated
at $4,000 and the expenses of getting
the bodies out NAV reach $40, 000 The
company is cenSured for sending the
men into the mine when it was in a.
dangerous condition. In answer 1t is
said the company either had to do this
or close the mine, which would have
meant the loss of all the capital in
vested.
Water began pouring into the stope
and threatens to drive out the rescu-
ers. 1t is thought to be surface water
and will soon cease to flow. Others
think the water comes from the Sus-
quetIanna river. If it Is river water
the whole mine will be flooded in a.
short time and it will be months before
the bodies can be got out
