Congratulations Still Pour In Upon Mckinley
Silveritc Support

CONCORD, N. H., June 30.-In his
newspaper, the Monitor, William E.
Chandler today prints signed editorial
endorsing the nomination of Mckinley
and advocating his election. Referring
TO the financial question, the editorial
advocates opposition to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver bullion under
existing conditions by the United States,
and, moreover, opposes the single gold
standard of money. Devotion to the
double standard is expressed in the fol-
lowing observations:
"The existing gold standard must be
preserved, If it is so decreed, only until
1t Is possible to restore the double stand
ard by international agreement or by
just and reasonable safeguards of
United States legislation. Whenever the
choice comes, If it ever must come. be-
tween permanent acquiescence in the
single gold standard and the adoption by
the United States of the single silver
standard, the Monitor and Statesman
will not be found on the side of gold.
Such a monetary system will everywhere
tend to make the rich richer and the poor
poorer, and will inf1ict grinding poverty
and intense woe upon the great mass of
helpless mankind all over the world"

TUNKHANNOCK, Pa, June 30.-Su-
preme Court of New York Commission
ers John e. Kelly and M. Smith heard
the testimony of the Rev. Nathan Leigh
ton and his daughter today in the Sarah
Ann Angel case, in which she sues for
her dover rights in the Gould millions.
The plaintiff claims Rev. Leighton was
the minister who performed the mar
riage ceremony which made her and Jay
Gould man and wife when Jay Gould
was a young struggling surveyor. Mr..
Leighton is now So years old, and his
daughter is in feeble health and blind.
and this is the cause Of the commission
coming here to hear the case. Both sides
refused to be interviewed, and the ut
most precaution was taken to keep the
proceedings quiet. It is known, how
ever, that Rev. Leighton made an aff1da-
Wit before a local justice here, in which
he testified to performing the ceremony
in which the groom is noted as Jason
Gould. He also gave a description of the
parties.

Talk

CHICAGO, June 30.-Delegates who
have arrived generally appear adverse
to discussing the probability that Sena-
tor Teller will cut any figure in the Dem
ocratic convention. The senator has a
number of personal friends among the
silver delegates who have already ar
rived, and among these are some who
would not be averse to his nomination
for president. They feel, however, that
the conditions are not ripe for the
springing Of his name, and say that it
would be opposed to the interests of both
Senator Teller and the silver cause to
bring him to the front at this time, if at
all. There are also a number of Teller's
silver Republican and Populist friends
In the city who are devoting themselves
more to watching the course of events
than to active work. The Populists who
are here say openly that Mr.. Teller is
the only man the Democrats can nom
mate that they will endorse. The silver
Republicans are not so pronounced. They
put the matter less pointedly by saying
that Teller is the only man whose NOM
ination would ensure the western states
to the Democratic ticket 1t Is not
the purpose of the senator's friends to
have him placed in nomination as others
will be. This course, they consider, will
be in bad form and contrary to Mr.. Tel
lers wishes. Their plan is not to make
an aggressive campaign, but simply to
be on the ground to answer questions
and to take advantage of any opportun-
ity that may offer.
bo oF l.
was asked today to define the claims of
the Teller men, and replied:
Senator Teller is not candidate in
the sense of seeking the nomination, as
could a member of the Democratic party
be. The friends of the senator are simply
trying to impress upon the Democrats
the enormous advantage there would be
in uniting upon Teller, who could solid
ify all the bimetallic forces.
