free silver Republicans who would raj

declare that unless Senator Teller is

Mr.. iNewlands the silver congress

cast a statement to show that, with
Teller as the nominee, 100000 silver
Republicans, 2,00e,O GOO Populists and
about 100000 labor unions would swell

received 100000 popular votes.
THE GLITTERING PROSPECT
involved in Teller's nomination. as
put forth by his friends. has made its
impression. Judge Mcconnell Of
Chicago, whom Governor Altgeld sug-
gested as a candidate ten days ago,
has eSpouseGi the cause of the Colorado
senator and it is an open secret that a
number of the Democratic silver sena-
tors like Jones of Arkansas. Harris of
Tennessee and others (some of whom
are publicly supporting other candi-
dates, are trving to manipulate
things from the inside in Teller's in
terest. Today they seemed to make
considerable Roadway and many Of
the most prominent silver leaders here
were quoted as in favor of Teller's
domination. It was even said John r.
Mclean of Ohio also is here at the
head of the Ohio delegation with forty
six votes at his back, and himself in
the field was for Teller. But out
among the Democratic advance skir-
mishers and the delegates who have
put in an appearance. there was a
MOST EMPHATIC EXPRESSION
against taking as candidate any but
a Democrat who had won his spurs.
The Teller talk induced the managers
of the Blard boom to issue a public
statement. declaring that if the Demo-
cratic convention nominated Teller no
one would give him warmer support
than Richard P Bland. and he was
recognized as an uncompromising
friend of free silver. and. if elected.
would subordinate all other aims to
accomplish IT. The sting was in the
tail. however. when ii protested'
against the nomination of any but a
Democrat by a Democratic convention.
Silver Dick" Bland undoubtedly has
the popular enthusiasm with him thus
far His managers are pushing his
boom with great vigor and are relying
largely on popular sentiment. They
have perfected details for a great dem
onstration Monday as the climax Of
their campaign. They will parade the
streets with bands and 1ambeau
clubs and wind up with a mass meet
ing on the lake front. The Boies boom
ers are also active. They have pla
carded the hotels with Autographs of
the Iowa candidate to look at by day,
and at night electric lights keep the
magic name before the crowds. But

The friends of Blackburn and Nc
Lean. the other two silver candidates,
have not as yet done much work. They,
too. are awaiting such opportunities
as may present themselves. but neither
IS as yet considered in any way for

not devoting much consideration 10 the
question Of who stall be put forward
to oppose the silver candidates. The
picture Of Governor Pattison. of Penn

Pennsylvania headquarters today by
