question. That we consider the main
question before our country today"
The Populists. according to Chairman
TaubenecS, VIII support Senator Teller
for the presidency. This will be the
substance of an address soon to be is
sued by them. The document will be
addressed to all friends Of silver. and
will be signed by nearly thirty of the
party leaders. The decision to support
Teller will be carried out regardless of
the action of the Democratic convention
at Chicago. The address does not an
ticipate Tellers nomination at Chicago,
and the manifesto means that in case
Teller is not accepted at Chicago he will
be supported by the Populists as an in
dependent silver candidate. Chairman
Taubeneck reviewed the situation and
the probable outcome from his point of
view today. The address which will be
issued will not commit the Populist
party. but il represents not less than
| so per cent of the members and vii, be
agreed to without argument. 1t will be.
therefore. q correct exnression of tho
party policy.

Said Mr.. Taubeneck: "The Populists
will support Mr.. Teller We do not
deem his chances of nomination at Chi

| consideration, and the address contem.
plates his Independent candidacy. TC
nominate him the Democrats would be
compelled to repudiate all their doc.
trnes and traditions, except free sill.

date, it is my opinion that he will be
elected. The Populists hold the balanc,
of power in Kansas, Nebraska, the two
| Dakotas, Montana, Colordao, Idaho
| Washington, Oregon, Utah, Texas
Georgia, Alabama and North Caolina
| Their undivided support means thai
Teller's chances for election are good
Teller will command the support o
the silver factions outside of the Dem
ocrats, and 1t Is my opinion that tn,
Chicago convention will go all to pieces
as the gold men are going to make ;
desperate battle. In this event many
silver Democrats will vote for him.
believe that the recent bolt presages no
only the defeat of Mckinley, but tn,
death of the Republican party"
The silver men continued in confer
ence Saturday night. There is
strong CAort being made to get dele
gates who do not withdraw from th
convention to sign the appeal to tn
