mo, Senator Teller does not want the

TELLER NOT WITHDRAWN.
Denver, Colo, July 4-"There is not a
word of truth in it," said Senator Teller,
when asked regarding the report at Chi
cago that he had written Governor Alt
geld thathe would not permit his name
TO go before the Democratic convention.
Il have not changed my attitude from
what it was in st. Louis in the least"
Continuing the senator said: There.
at the earnest solicitation of many gen
tlemen, silver Republicans. who left
the party like myself, and Democrats
and Poulists, consented that my name
might be used in connection with the
frankly that 1 had no claims upon the
Democratic party. and that 1 did not
consider my nomination by its conven-
ton as possible. Nevertheless If. as my
more than partial friends thought, the
Democratic delegates might believe
that my candidacy woud more likely
bring 10 theticket the necessary elec-
toraI votes needed 1 would leave the
matter in their hands and thus wholly
Ii their discretion and patriotism"
Speaking of the Chicago convention,
he said: '"The majority is a body OF
magnificent and patriotic men, There
is no doubt they win issue a new de-
claratiOn of independence and nominate
candidates about whose devotion to the
welfare of the plain = sople there NH be
no room to doubt. re great majority
for bimetallism. which the convention
contains, is overwhelming proof Of the
power and virtue OF our FIRE institutions,
and is a certain guaranty that whatever
the emergency they will prove equal TO
the strain and meet the most sanguine
expectations of their founders. / be
lieve that the money chicanery Of the
gold power VIII prove utterly futile in
such a body. and that its emissaries
viii retreat dismayed and unsuccess-
full"

BLAND BOOM IS BIGGER
Chicago, July 4-The Missouri dele
cation held a caucus at the Auditorium
this morning and heard reports on the
progress Of the Bland candidacy. These
were of such a character that the Bland
managers raised their previous esti-
mates and stated at the conclusion of
the caucus that their candidate would
have the bulk, If not all, of the votes
from west OF the Mississippi river on
the first ballot, except Iowa; two-t.hirds
of the southern votes and that Of llE-
nois on the first ballot, and that Of
Ohio and Indiana on the second ballot
II was distinctly stated after the meet
ing that the Bland forces were making
no COMPUTATIONS with other candidates.
No action was taken on naming men,
bers of the convention committees. Il
appears to be conceded. however, that
Governor Stone viii be the Missouri
member OF the platform committee.
One OF the delegates, Mr. Showalter.
stated the position Of the delegation on
the choice Of a temporary chairman q
the convention as follows:
If the majority of thenat:onal com
Trittee suggest Senator Hin. or any 9th
er gold man, a member Of the COMMITTEES
viii suggest the name Of ex-Congress-
man Bryan, Senator Daniel OF some
other prominent silver man and adopt
ed beyond question"
