STILL STICKS TO SILVER
Senator Teller Says he Cannot Return to Old
IL Party.
Predicts Democrats WIFI ReafRrm
Chicago Platform Bryan
and Tovvme Suggested.

DENVER, Cd1., April 19-United States
Senator Henry NJ Teller and Representa-
tive John F. Shefr6th in statements pub
i1shed today emphatically declare in favor
of maintaining the silver republican organi-
cation, not only in Colorado, but through
out the Union. They say that the silver
question will be the paramount issue in
1860
Mr.. Teller says that the gold standard
democrats will not be able to- control tn.
democratic convention and that, as in 1885,
they will support the republican candidate.
He says that the democratic convention
will reafffrm the platform of 1896, and that
the party must and will be allied with the
silver republican party and the populist
party, both of which must maintain their
organizations and lend all their aid to win
victory In the great battle of 1900.
Will Not Go Back to Old Party.
Il cannot conceive of political situation
that will induce me to favor union with
the Mckinley republicans" said Senator
Teller. THE republican financial system
is one fraught with great danger to the
country and one well calculated to make
the rich richer and the poor poorer. The
republican party favors large standing
army in time of peace, of not less than
1O',Voo ihei dt SH eA pellSS VI Hol leSS lIdn
$125,O0O,O0O to $t5O000,0 eco per annum. 1t is
Its, purpose also to increase this army in
proportion as the population of the country
shall increase.
The republican party is so thoroughly
dominated by trusts, syndicates and COM
bines that l have no hope of relief in that
party. I thoroughly believe that the con-
tnued administration of the government by
the republican party as now controlled
threatens the very existence of free gov
ernment.''
Bryan and Towne Named.
Mr.. Teller expresses no preference as to
candidates, but Mr.. Shafroth suggests the
nomination of Bryan and Towna. He says
there is complete silver republican organ
ization in thirty-two states and at least
that number will be represented in the
national convention.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, April I9-The ar.
rangements for the reception of VIM. ].
Bryan here tomorrow were attended by
complications embarrassing to the local
democratic organization. John Mccarthy,
the silver candidate for representative in
Congress in this district last fall, attend
ed the Chicago platform dinner in New York
and induced Mr.. Bryan to accept an invi-
tation to visit Syracuse. Mayor James *.
Mcclure and the local organization tried to
dissuade Mr. Mccarthy, but when the silver
leader accepted the invitation they con-
cluded to turn in and make the affair a
success
Accordingly they attempted to shut out
Mr. Mccarthy and called a meeting of the
central committee to take charge of the af-
fair. The meeting was attended by only a
few members, but plans were perfected for
a reception at the Yates and a mass meet
ing at the Alhambra. Yesterday Mr. Nc
Carthy insisted on putting up a banner in
the hall-'Sfxteen to one-Bryan is a win
ner"
The committee informed him that no such
placard should be put up. Today Mr. Me-
for tomorrow, having gotten ahead of the
committee in securing it, and stated that
being in control he would put I'D whatever
sentiments he pleased.
A compromise was effected, the sixteen

POST OFFICE FURNITURE.
Will BE of Mahogany, Upholstered in
Crimson Billiard Cloth.


Superintendent Hills of the Treasury De-
partment will order a special design of fur
niture for the immediate offices of the Post
master General and his assistants in the
new post office building For the Offices of
the Postmaster General the furniture will
be of mahogany and will be upholstered in
crimson billiard cloth. The upholstery in
the rooms will also be of crimson leather
The desks, mirrors, wardrobes, book cases.
ia bles, racks, etc, correspond in treatment
with the general scheme of the building
the corner post being covered with carved
patterns, introducing appropriate designs.
The carpets will be of deep cardinal Will
ton. with small medallion figures over the
field, a design owned exclusively by the
Treasury Department. The windows are
surrounded by carved oak panels. and as it
is not practical to cover them with drapery
shades will be used.
Each assistant postmaster general will be
provided with a public and private ROOM
which will be fitted with special furniture.
1t will be OF the same character as that of
the head of the department, but different in
design. The corner posts will be fluted in
stead of carved.
The public rooms will have furniture of
selected quartered white oak, antique finish
The offices of the different bureaus will be
fitted with standard Treasury Department
designs. These are of selected Quartsred
Write oak, and finished to match the wood
work. These standard articles fill almost
every requirement of the service, but a
great many special pieces have been made
Some idea Of the variety of articles neces-
sary may be gained from the fact that the
report of the inspector of furniture said
that It's special designs were required to
meet the special needs of the postal SER
vice.
Superintendent Hills has given his perso-
nal attention to the selection Of the furni-
ture.
