the influence of Governor AItgeld as
the leader of the Illinois delegation
makes his position on the question OF
the nominee of the utmost Importance
in the eyes of the Democratic leaders
and all the candidates are striving for
his support So far Governor Altgeld
has not committed himself, although
mere has been a strong impression that

friends that Governor Stone could be

Stone Will be brought forward.
The strongest public commitment OF
Governor Altgeld up TO date has been
In favor of Judge Mcconnell, of this
city. but it developed today that Judge
Mcconnell IS in favor of Teller's nomi-
nation. The silver Republicans are
encouraged at this, as they believe, ii

have written a strong letter to Altgeld

TELLER WRITES TO DUBOIS.
Chicago, July 3.-In view of the ru-
mors af1oat about Senator Tellers posi-
ton with regard to the nomination and
the statements circulated about a let
ter in the possession of Senator Dubois,
the latter today gave to the Associated
Press a copy Of a letter which he re-
ceived from Senator Teller week ago.
Il give out this letter." he said, ION
my own responsibility. 1t Is the only
letter have received from Teller bear
ing on the subject"
The letter is as follows:
Morris, June 23.-To Hon. Fred Du-
Bois, Springfield. Dear Sir-I reached
this place yesterday and will remain I'M
til the last of the week, when l will
leave for Denver.
Il notice that the gold Democrats
have declared their intention to control
the Chicago convention. 1 do not think
they can do III. If our silver friends
control the convention and give US
good silver candidates, as 1 think they
will, they will have the active support
Of all who believe the money question Is
the question before the American peo-
pie. We must, for this campaign at
least. overlook all minor differences |
and put the country on a sound basis, |
that recognizes that gold and silver are |
the money metals of the constitution. I |
believe this can be done, and TO that |
end we must bend all our energies. a |
little more patriotism and a little less |
is what the country needs |
at this time. The friends of silver made
no mistake at st. Louis, and we-must |
make no mistake as to our future al |
lance with other silver advocates The |
cause is of too much Importance to adj |
NIT Of carping or criticism. We must |
all get together and act together until |
the battle is won. 1t will be a royal |
hattie with justice on our side. We
must win. Let me hear from you soon.
Yours truly, H. NJ. TELLER"
