THE FIRST SENSATION.
Ihe first sensation OF the day was
when Teller made his speech, and
Withdrew carrying his silver support
ofs with him from tbs conventions.
Teller has good voice. lie is In good
training. His soul WIS In his speech
anu his every WORD was heard. His
utterauces were 20 many and 80
honest that they commanded even the
applause OF tue gold men, aud when

Characters than that OF Henry NJ.
Teller, and there are few men Of such
ltuuHible honVbty. Eu has for years

u was DAY or two later before he de.
