Tell me something about Denver
SENATOR" said /.
Every man, | suppose, likes his own
! town best" said Senator Teller, but
| can't see how anyone could stay any
time in Denver and not like IL. 1t Is
one Of the best cities In the United
States, as a business and residence
city. It's people have higher degree
OF education. ! venture, than those OF
any other city Of the same size In our
country. We have about 10000 people
and we have more college graduates
to the thousand than any town in New
England. We have about 200 graduates
OF Yale college here. We have scores
OF men who went to Harvard, Prince
ton and other great universities. We
have excellent schools good unlver-

COLORADO WILL STICK TO SILL
YER.
How about Colorado during the com
Ing presidential campaign. win it still
Ut SILVER SldNe dShtu.
"Yes, there Is no doubt about that
The sentiment here is overwhelmingly
In favor of silver"
As Senator Teller said this my mind
went back TO the st Louis convention
OF 1896, and could see him as he
stood there and, on account OF silver,
renounced his allegiance to the Re-
publican party. The scene was most
affecting one, and II thrilled the coun-
try. The senator now looks older and
more careworn than he did then, and
as looked at him | wondered II he had
ever been sorry for his action, and said:
Senator, It is now almost four years
since you left the Republican party,
Have you ever regretted doing so, and
do you regret II now?"
mo, l have never for an instant re-
GREETED IL" was the prompt reply. II
do not regret 1t now. left the party
because / could not conscentiously
stay in 1t. II would have been moral
suicide for me to have done so, believ-
ing as / do that its leading principle
Of action on the money question Is con-
trary TO the good Of the country and Of
the people"
'T. IN this means that you Will not
be with the Republicans in the coming
campaign"
Eyes"
'Will you be with the Democrats?"
II must be with them, because the
paramount issue, as / believe 1t, win
be the financial Issue, and on that ques-
ton they are practically In accord with
me-"
Does that mean that you will be for
Bryan?"
yes, think So" replied Senator Tel
Ter. 1T looks TO me as though Bryan
would be the nominee"
do you think he has any chance Of
being elected"
II think his chances are better this
time than they were in 1896 never
thought he would be elected during the
last campaign. He may be now. His
friends have also grown and he has
grown"
A WORD ABOUT EXPANSION.
do you think the question OF expan.
sion will have much effect upon the
campaign"
Yes do; and / have the idea that
It will lose the Republicans many votes.
| think that we should carry out the
resolutions we adopted when We de-
clared war with Spain. We then said
that we did not want TO exercise SOW
ereignty, Jurisdiction or control over
Cuba, and that after We had made
peace We would leave the government
and Island to the control OF the people.
/ think we should do as we have prom
ised and that we should treat the
Philippines In the same way. / don't
believe our people will approve OF the
large standing army which we must
have II we keep the Philippines. |
don't believe we want those islands TO
be States Of the Union. Their people
are certainly not ready for 1t now. and
1t surely will take q long time for them
TO become So"
