champion of sound financial principles.
Your course with keen interest and ever
increasing admiration. We observe
with pardonable and exceeding great
pride that millions of earnest men
throughout the nation, men whom the
great lincoln called the plain people,
have been watching you. They see you
earnestly advocating principle which
deals with the most vital interests of
the nation and of the world, and they
note that no self-interest, no fear of
consequences, swerve you from your
course.
Senator, this great ovation is to you.
These thousands have gathered to see
ard hear you. Once again, in behalf
cf the State and people of Colorado, /
welcome you
Senator Teller replied: MY friends:
realize how difficult it is to speak to
you all at such a time / cannot at
tempt now to say much to you, but
on some other occasion 1 may have the
privilege of addressing you at length
upon subjects of great moment to you
ard the nation as well. l can only say
that no words of mine can express to
the people of this great State my
thanks for this magnificent public ex-
preston of your approval of my course
No man anywhere ever had a better
greeting. In acknowledging this l do
not take it as a recognition of my work
alone, but / realize that it is on behalf
CT a cause which you believe in This
demonstration signifies that approval
Of course, but it also signifies a deter
mination to continue fighting for the
cause until we shall triumph and secure
pure monetary system for this Gov
ernment of ours, which we so dearly
love.
Since 1 have been your representa-
tive, for nearly twenty years now, it
has been my purpose always to honestly
and conscientiously present and ad-
vance the sentiments that you entertain.
| want to assure you now that when T
prove false to my trust, or feel that I no
longer voice the sentiments of the people
of the State, then you may select one
who will. Fortunately for me, the peo-
pie have been In accord with my opin-
ions on the great issues of the times,
and for this happy situation / am truly
thankful. l ann more than repaid for
all my hard labors and toll of the past
years of service by this magnificent
demonstration When the opportunity
shall prevent itself l hope to speak to
you face to face, and take each of you
by the hand and then try to make you
feel that these are not idle words, but
they spring UP from the depths of my
heart. Until then, beg your indulgence,
and thanking you, -"
The crowd roared for more speech, and
the Senator Hitting himself to full hight
said in a ringing voice: Il only shall
say a word or two more. l believe now
that all the friends of this cause have
to do is TO get together and then there
will be enough people in this Nation
to dominate and control the country,
and then we shall place this Nation upon
a monetary system that is American in
every point, and we shall do this with
out asking the consent or awaiting the
approval of Great Britain or any other
foreign nation.
THE Republica of this State be-
lieve the United States is big enough
and its people wise enough to establish
an independent stable monetary sys-
tenn For that let all the people of
Colorado unite as one man, regardless
of party lines, and we shall in time unite
the people OF this great country, and
shall accomplish the contamination OF
our earnest hope, a true, honest Ameri-
cam system off finance. Again l thank
you. Good night"
With another mighty roar of approval
the immense crowd slowly moved away,
while cheers and the Teller yell re-
sounded about the streets for an hour or
more.
