UPHOLD THE SILVER SENATORS
Western Senators Endorse Their Re-
cent Action.

Washington, D. c., May 6.-When Sena-
tors Dubois, Carter, Teller, Cannon and
Mantle refused to vote for the Dingley
revenue bill because it did not contain
free silver rider, there was a good deal OF
discussion in the eastern press regarding
the so-called traitors" to their party. 1t
was asserted that the states from which
the five senators hailed, silver-lined
though they were, would not condone tho
offense of party men voting against what
was termed purely party measure.
The fact is, the senators named all
maintained to start with that the Dingley
bill was not a good republican measure,
and besides they proposed to "rot in their
seats" as one Of them put it, before they
would vote for any kind Of an old tariff
bill until they could secure free coinage
Now the west is being heard from. Res
olutions are being adopted by republicans
in Colorado, Montana, Utah and Idaho,
and they all stand by the recalcitrant sen.
ators. After resolving that silver is the
panacea for all existing evils, the con-
ventions wind up with an Endorsement Of
Dubois, Teller and the others.
