The position taken by Senator Teller
as explained in his letter to Mr.. Bryan,
is frank and logical. The senator. be-
lieves that the free coinage of silver is
moro important than any other PROPOSE
ton before the people, and realizes that
Mr. Bryan IS pledged to the cause as
explicitly and has avowed himself in Its
favor as clearly as can be. therefore the
logical and consistent thing to do is to
promote his candidacy

apolis conference on Friday as tempor-
AIRY chairman of the gold standard DEM

Of the Illinois delegation. which will
give him unanimous support The only
shadow of objection urged against him
is that he has expressed himself as not
being In favor of naming Il third ticket,
although he approves the proposed con-
ventiOn and the adoption of Il gold
standard platform.
The Illinois delegation argues that
the selection of the eXTammany orator
would give him an opportunity of
throwing the crown and cross effort of
the Boy orator" into the shade. While
the delegation is unanimous for Cock
ran. however. many of its members
are opposed to holding the convention
in Chicago and will vote for Indianapo-
lis or Detroit.

ralily closed this afternoon and on the
night trains there will be an exodus to
the Hoosier capital. Senator Palmer,

Vermont will be represented at Indian

At this time, however. l am free to say

Wyatt under his mysterious influence
and announced that he would bury his
subject and revive him next FrGu,

Fairview Park last night at 1880
O'Clock. a tube being passed down to
where he lay. He was buried four
feet under the ground and guard was
placed at the grave"
Shortly before noon today Wyatt
came out from under the influence. ami
reaalizing his 3ituatin. began scream
ing like wild man. He was hurriedlv
dug up and it was some time before he
could be COOLED down. He protested
against a second interment, but Pro-
