TELLER DENIES A STORY.
sible to Secure Free Coinage
- of American. Silver.

Denver. Col, Sept. 2.-During 2. the past
few years Senator Tellers enemies have
industriously circulated the report that if
the senior Colorado senator and his silver
colleagues had been willing to accept 1t,
they could have secured the coinage of the
American silver product. Since the an
norncement of the candidacy of Major Nc
Kinley. and especially since his nomination.
his Colorado friends have been partfcu-
larly jealous in circulating the story, some
of them even going so far as to intimate
that they had the information from Major
Mckinley himself. In reply to an inquiry
Denver. Col. Aug. q.
''Hon. e. NJ. Ammons. Symmes. Col.
49, in which You ass the question T in
1890. when the Mckinley bill was passed,
the silver men could have secured the coin
age of the American product?
This story has been industriously cir
culated throughout the West during the
las. two years. There is not one word of
truth In the statement. There never has
been time when the passage of such
bill could have been secured through either
house of congress. The free coinage of
the American product was always weaker
in both bodies than the unlimited coinage
Of silver.
There never has been a president since
signed bill for the coinage of the Ameri-
can product, nor has there been q time
when such a vote could have been had in
either house of congress.
AT ST. Louis, there was introduced In
the committee on resolutions, after they
had voted down the free coinage provi-
sion, a provision for the coinage of the
American product, but it received exactly
the same number of votes and the same
number Of negative votes against it that
the unlimited coinage of silver did
Those who state that there has been a
time when the free coinage OF the Ameri-
can product could have been secured are
either grossly ignorant or very wicked Mr.
Mckinley has never at any time favored
the coinage of the American product, and
his letter of acceptance shows that he is
not friendly to any legislation favorable to
| silver. Your truly, H.. NJ. TELLER"

CLEVELAND IS OUT OF IT.
The President Cannot Be ConsidereA
n . Candidate in the
Couyenfion.-

Indianapolis. Ind, Sept. 2-It is posi-
lively stated that unless something Is heard
from President Cleveland to the contrary
his name will be presented to the conven-
ton for nomination for president. The
Florida delegation adheres to its deternnn-
alton to place before the convention Mr..
Cleveland's name. As the state Is well up
on the list on the call Of states for nomina-
ton of candidates. few nominations can be
made before Mr.. Cleveland's name Is mem
TONED. and there Is a possibility OF a
stampede in his direction unless the dele
gates are aware that 1t Is contrary to his
wishes. In this connection 1t is stated that
the New York delegation might be placed
in a very embarrassing position. and Y Is
understood that Chairman Grimm. OF New
York has telegraphed the president, desir-
ing to know what his wishes are. MT MT
Griffin did not acknowledge that he had
sent the telegram. but said to several peo.
pie that the position taken by many OF
the delegates made it important. and that
the president ought to let the delegates
know something about his position.
Late tonight 1t Is authoritatively an.
nounced that President Cleveland cannot
be considered a candidate in the conven-
ticQ.

ILLINOIS FOR PALMER.
Delegation Decides to Support Hin II
He VIII Permit the Use

He VIII Permit the Use
of His Name.
Indianapolis. Ind, Sept. 2-rhe Illinois
delegation held a meeting tonight and de-
cided to present the name Of Senator
Palmer for president II the senator would
allow this action to be taken. In case OF
his refusal, it was determined to place
General John C. Black in nomination. A
committee was appointed to wait upon
Senator Palmer and inform him OF the
action Of the delegation and urge him to
allow his name to go before the convention
Senator Palmer said in reply that he had
been out of the field and it was thoroughly
understood that he was not candidate
and did not want to take the nomination,
and felt 1t was not the best thing to do.
He was asked to consider the matter over
night and let the delegation know in the
morning the result. This was agreed to.
and members of the Illinois delegation are
very hopeful that he will allow the dele
cation to present his name. Senator Pal
mer said that he had hoped his friends
would not put him in this position, which
he considers embarrassing. He does not
desire the nomination on account OF the
labor 1t will involve and he does not want
to be placed in the attitude Of refusing
or rejecting q nomination which has not
yet been rendered him. The action OF the
illinois delegation led the talk in the cor
ridors toward an Illinois candidate. and IT
was quite generally stated that Palmer or
Black would be selected.

twenty minute talk. The next stop of any
consequence was at kenton, where Mr.
Bryan addressed 5000 citizens OF that coun-
ty. The address was made in the park OF
the little city and was well received The
crowd was made up mostly OF farmers, who
nominee heartily.
From Kenton the members of the party

noteworthy stop was at Findlay, where
the crowd of 400 gave Mr.. Bryan a hearty
greeting There were short speeches also
at Bowling Green and Welker and stops
