The State Herald affects to believe
that Teller isn't after the democratic
presidential nomination. The fact is
potent to every one else, and was an
open secret even before the st. Louis
bolt. If Teller doesn't receive the NOM
ination land he womb he will be a sad
" disappointed NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Times.
We do not believe that Senator Teller
is after the democratic nomination for
president. AS proof of the correctness
of our belief on that proposition we have
the declaration of that distinguished
gentleman himself. He has said-and
that in unequivocal language-that he
was not an aspirant for the place. and
did not think the party could afford to
nominate him. 1t is hardly possible for
the Times to know better than Senator
Teller himself knows what he Is after,
and we therefore refuse to believe that
he win be disappointed when the demo-
cratic convention dominates some one
other than himself.

+ When Senator Teller retired from the
republican national convention and sew
cred his connection with that party he
was actuated by motives of the highest
and most unselfish patriotism. He had
been member of that party forty years,
and from II had received many high
honors. In his speech before the commit
tee on resolutions, and again before the
convention, he had expressed profound
regrets at being driven to the course he
would, in honor to himself and justice
to the people of the United States, have
to take. In his long career there has
never attached to him any stain or sus-
picion of dishonor, either in his public or
private life, and today he stands before
the American people as one of the purest
men and ablest statesmen of the republic.
With becoming modesty he has dsclaim-
ed any desire for political reward or pro-
motion at the hands of the democratic
party over the heads of lifelong demo-
Gratis, and in advance has declared his
purpose to support the candidates nomi-
mated and platform adopted by the Chi
.cago convention, provided they represent
the great principles of governmental poll
icy for which he contends. AS far back
as last October he said he would support
any good free silver man, even though
he were an ex-Confedsrate general and
guarantee Colorado to him by 10000 ma
jority, and pledged himself to stump
every western state for the cause OF BIZ
metallism. Such accessions are accept
able to the party at any time, and Mr..
Teller's support of the platform and can
didates of the Chicago convention will be
worth many thousands of votes to the
party in the November election.

Come all you jolly sailor lads,
And I'll sing 10 you a song;
And with your kind attention,
will net detain you long.
It's of the cruiser Baltimore
That Pm about to tell,
And Day our captains name,
Who handled the ship so we'll.
Chorus
Lash all your boats,
And trice up all your gear,
Freeing ports We haven't got,
So see your scuppers clear.
Batten down your matches,
And ready we will be,
For we're running into heavy gale
In latitude thirty three.
While lying in Yokohama,
Not expecting such blow,
Across to Honolulu,
We knew we'd have TO go;
With every man on board the ship
AS Dappy as q King,
When two days out, round our cruiser
stout,
The wind did whistle and sing.
Chorus
Secure all your boats,
And trice up all your gear,
Freeing ports we haven't got,
So see your scuppers clear.
Keep her head TO windward, boys,
And you will plainly see
The Baltimore will weather the gale
In latitude thirty-three.
We were in eastern longitude
One hundred and forty nine;
Our latitude was thirty three,
To the northwsrd OF the line;
Of the japanese coast, my boys,
Four hundred miles or more,
We struck this blow, as you all may
know,
In the cruiser Baltimore
Chorus
The seas ran high as we steamed
Through the thickest of the gale;
Tbirty-nine we rolled that night,
For We could carry no steadying
sail.
The barometer was falling fast,
The seas were running higher,
When green one oveI the fo'castle
came,
Putting out our galley fire.
Chorus
Our grub was very salty
Especially the stew;
The berth-deck cooks bad all gone
mad,
For they were hungry too.
There were pots, pans and corned-
beef cans
All bundled up together
Like a Chinese baud, it seemed so
grand,
In the clemeney OF the weather.
Chorus
Captain Day came out and said:
This lasts too long for me-"
For he'd resolved to run the ship
Out of the heavy sea.
Just then the wind had shifted
About six points or more,
The helm was put to starboard,
And We run right dead before.
Chorus
Now, when this blow was over,
Our work had just begun,
The bugle sounded "quarters,"
And We TO our stations run;
The bright work WAS all rusty,
And the Ruu-covers were all tore,
1t wss terrible sight, in broad day
light,
On the cruiser Baltimore.
Chords
Shine all your shoes,
You know We must be clean,
At Quarters for inspection
Every man must toe the seam.
OF setting up drill" you'll get
your fill
On modern mau-uf war:
But We won't roget the days we
spent
On board the Baltimore.
