and began the practice of his profess
| sion. He only remained there three
years, however, as he foresaw great
| er possibilities in the territory of
| Colorado.
That his judgment was good when
i he decided to take the long jump to
the new and little-known land in the
Rockies was proved by the later
events in his life. Fifteen years aft
erward while the nation was cele-
brating it's centennial, Colorado was
admitted as a state. and among the
first acts of it's legislature was the
election of Henry NJ. Teller as one
of it's representatives in the United
States senate.
Chosen as a republican, he served
in the senate until in April. 1882,
when he was called to President Ar
thurs cabinet as secretary of the in
terror. Here he twice honored his
state-bringing il an important cab
met post after only six years of state
hood. and being the instrument by
which this distinction was given to
state beyond the great American
plains.
Mr.. Teller served as secretary of
the interior during President Ar
thurs term, but near the close of the
period there was a senatorial cleo
tion in Colorado. and he was offered
his old seat. He accepted it, and
when his work as cabinet member
ended on March 4, 1885. he walked
over to the capitol and took the oath
of Office as senator
A few years later the money ques-
tion began to make trouble for men
in public life, and what was destined
to be Mr.. Teiler's greatest political
hoDon fn fol
cial stringency, followed by the re-
peal of the Sherman act, precipitated
the free silver controversy upon the
country, and Mr. Teller, an ardent
advocate of free coinage. found hini-
self in conflict with many of his po-
litical associates.
Subsequent developments are of too
recent occurrence to require recount
ing here. Mr.. Teller was approach
ing the end of his third senatorial
term. His state was overwhelmingly
for silver. but a majority of the re-
publican leaders in the country at
large were bending their efforts to
obtain declaration for the gold
standard. The crisis for the Colora-
do man was near at hand. 1t came
with the republican national conven-
tion at ST. Louis in 1886
Senator Teller didn't believe that
convention would declare for the gold
standard. II he did. he never re-
vealed it. He knew such action was
imminent. and he struggled valiant
" to ward it off. 1t was political
life and death struggle with him and
he lost. There are hundreds of men
today who witnessed the spectacle
of this spare and white-bearded fig
ure walking out of the convention
hall weeping like a father who had
pleaded in vain to his wayward child
to repent.-Chicago Post.
