WESTERN SILVER REPUBLICANS AND THEIR
FEELING AROIrT ppyAN


FEELING ABOUT BRYAN
The Bryan Altgeld-Tillman ticket. with its creed
OF free coinage reputation and anarchy is re-
ceiving little sympathy among certain Republicans
IN the West who believe In free silver but cannot
stomach the remarkable principles set forth in the
chicago platform. Within the last few days q
NUMBER OF free-conage Republicans have been In
the city. and 1t is significant that not one Of them
has declared for Bryan and his platform
wilbur F. Wakeman. secretary Of the American
Protective Tariff League, yesterday commented
upon tho situation by saying: IT have talked with
Senator Cannon. Of Utah. and Senator Mitchell of
oregon. within the last few days. and you say
that neither one will support the Chicago ticket It
Is too much Of dose for them swallow. Mitchell
peneVes In silver. but he Is a dyed-in-thewoo Re-
publican. and the issues Of his party are too dear
for him to bolt. and Bryan does not appeal to Can
non."
When an attempt was made to get Senator Can
non who boted with Senator Teller from the st.
Louis Convention. to something about the situa-
ton he begged to be excused declaring that matters
had not so shaped themselves that he was ready to
say anything definite. The same plea made by

They honest in their belief. and when they were
ignored at st. Louis they were indignant. and many
counselled bolt. The wise course. think. has been
TO counsel delay. We want to have them thoroughly
understand the situation. We believe in silver. but
we don't believe In revolution We intend TO support
Mckinley and we want our people to- 10 do that
We must lead and not drive the voters. When they
see how much is at stake, when they realize what
vast difference there Is between the fundamental
principles of party and those put forth al Chi
Cago, think they will gladly make the fight on the
lines OF protection and for time give up the idea
of money reform. We want TO show the people how
much greater the gain VIII be with protection. even
under a gold standard than free coinage will be
without II. We hope to keep the regular Republican
States in the West true to the old column
THE Republicans of the West want no more OF
Popuiism. II the Popust Convention indorses Bry
an that will be the last straw. and many who would
have gone with the Democrats the money issue

Populists to nominate Teller. They believe N him.
that many Republicans would with him. But
Teller is Populist and don't think that there
Is apy danger of his being nominated at ST. Louis
