From the Denver Rcpublican)

We all like to see a legitimate enterprise
succeed, especially II II be n home institu-
tlon. and conducted by prominent and
worthy residents Of our home city. And
when that success has reached beyond tho
limit OF the most sanguine expectations, and
has become n marvellous achievement by rca-
son OF energy and merit, then we all feel like
Join Ing In the enthusiastic applause 10 which
such success Is entitled. Besides, In these
troublous, unsettled times we want TO know
that when W" Invest few Of our surplus
dollars they Will not only he safe, but will
return TO us when needed, with fair and
satisfactory margin of profit added to them.
Many persons would make more OF an effort
to save n portion Of their earnings II they
could only feel sure that 1t would be abso'
lutely safe and prove source OF some rev.
ciiue In the way OF accruing interest. And
though the public confidence may have been
severely shaken dur Ing the past few years
by the unusual number Of bank failures, 1t
Is well for them to remember that here In
Denver there Is ut least one place where
they can feel sure that their money Is safe,
and at the same time earning something for
Its owners.

Throughout the Country.

WASHINGTON. d. c., February D.
An address was issued to-day by the Sill
yer Republicans in Congress to the Silver
Republicans of the United States. looking
to the calling of national convention in
the near future. and affecting a national
organization.
The argumentative preamble omitted,
the address says:
Circumstances have sometimes in the
past thrust upon the undersigned re-
sponsiblities on behalf OF Silver Republi-
cans, which, in the absence 0f formal or
ganization, we have felt warranted in as
suming Recently. moreover, we have
been receiving a vast number of anxious
inquiries from various parts of the coun-
try upon questions Of party policy, and
requesting us to give some definite direc-
tion thereto. These communications eX-
hibit surprising and gratifying unanimi-
ty I'm sentiment and plan. Responding TO
these earnest suggestions, and at the same
time expressing our own deliberate opin-
ion. we urge upon the Silver Republicans
of the United States, and upon all citizens,
of whatsoever previous party association,
who are willing 10 cooperate with US IN
political action until the great monetary
issue is settled. and settled right, that i'm
mediate steps be taken to perfect organi-
zation in the various States ana Terrific
ries. to the end that thereafter national
convention may be held for the purpose Of
making an authoritative pronouncement
TO the country and effecting a national or
ganlZation.
"As soon as possible each Of the States
and Territories should designate member
Of a provisional national committee OF
the Silver Republican party. which com
mittee will have charge OF the calling or
the national convention and all matters
preliminary thereto. Meantime. We have
taken the liberty Of naming Hon. Charles
A. Towne OF Minnesota, as chairman or
said Provisional National Committee,
whose official address for the present will
be the city of Washington, and to whom
all communications should be sent.

REFORM PRESS ASSOCIATION.
CoXey PrOminent-Charge Against
Paul NandervOOrt Disposed OF.

Paul NandervOort Disposed OF.
MEMPHIS. TENN, February 23.-The
members Of the Reform Press Association
met to-day shortly after 10 o'clock J. S.
CoXey. of Massilon, o., reached here to-
day. and is taking an active part in the
proceedings. This mornings session was
hardly started when Secretary Parker, Of
Louisville. threw a bombshell among the
delegates. He stated that serious charges
had been made by the Nebraska State AS
sOciatiOn against ex-President Paul Van
dervOOrt He was charged with being a
Republican spy in the Populist ranks Mr..
/ Nandervoort. I'm an impassioned speech.
demanded that a committee be appointed
to investigate the charge. After considera-
bic discussion a committee, consisting or
Messrs. Mays of Washington, Mcdowell
of Tennessee, and Ferguson of Texas, was
appointed.
The afternoon session opened with the
report of the committee on the charges
against Vandervoort. 1t declared that not
a single charge made had been sustained,
and that the attack was prompted solely
on account Of Vandervoorts refusal TO
agree to support the national fusion or
Bryan and Sewall. made in the presi-
dental canvass Of 1896. but that he did
support the Bryan and Watson ticket
with the so-called Democratic party
"and which we hold he had a perfect right
TO do"
Secretary Edgerton charges that General
Vandervoort is a Republican and not a
Populist. and to sustain his charge re-
cites the fact that he held office under the
appointment Of a Republican admlnlstra-
tion in 1895. The committee meets this
with a letter from Edgerton, using MS
influence TO procure the aforesaid ap-
pofntment: also. showing that the Ne
braska law requested police com'nissioh-
ers TO be chosen from the two dominant
parties. and that Vandervoort went IN as
the Populist representative.
The committee eulogizes Vandervoort
and condemns his accusers for their fail
ure TO attend the investigation and race
the accused. The report was adopted
| unanimously.
The balance of the afternoon session
was devoted TO hearing a stream OF elabo-
rate resolutions, ore set Of which favored
amendment Of the Constitution OF the
United States TO bring about government
ownership Of railways. telegraphs, etc.
along NE line Of usual Populist doctrines

WASHINGTON. D. c., February D.
The Alaskan boundary treaty. which was
signedeby Secretary Olney and Sir Julian
Pauncefote January 30th last, was lai~
before the Senate this afternoon, in exc
cutive session. without being read 1t
was referred 10 the Committee on For
eign Relations. This treaty is designated
"A convention between the United States
and Great Britain for the demarkation
of so much Of the hist meridian, west
longitude. as may be necessary for the
determination OF the boundary between
their respective possessions in North
America" II provides for commission
similar to the Mexican-boundary COM
mission. which will avail itself of the
information already collected by the COM
mission under the charge of PROFESSOR
MendenhaII and Professor Dufield. repre-
senting the United States and Mr. King,
representing Canada, who are working
under an agreement made In 1892.
The Senate also disposed Of the New
Jersey postmasterships that had been re-
called from the President and were pend
ing on a motion TO reconsider the action
bv which they were confirmed. The chlet
objection was against the nomination OF
Mr. Kahlhass. to be postmaster at Pater-
son, the home of Vice-President Hobart.
Mr.. Sewall said he could not say that
he was personally Objectionable, but he
contended that the Democratic incumbent
had been in Office almost four years, ana
that by confirming this nominee. the
Democrats would hold the Office seven
wears. This. he argued. was unfair. Mr..
Sewell offered to withdraw his objection
to the other cases, if this was permitted
to go over but this compromise was re-
jected, and by strict party vote tne
democrats. Populists. and Silver Republi-
cans voting together, the nominations
were all confirmed. The vote stood % for
confirmation and Is against.
