Is being made to get delegates from
silver states who did not withdrew
from thu convention to sign this
declaration.
It is the joint belief of all who have
been consulted from the far West that
there will not bo a successful Repub

Iowa and possibly Minnesota. They

There have been conferences with
leading representative* of the Popu
lists and of the bimetallic league to
Induce them to work for the indorse
ment of Teller, and have such a strong
fusion against the gold standard as to
Induce the Democratic national con
vention also to indorse Teller as the
fusion cand date for President. They
also conferred with ex-iioveruor Fran
cis of Missouri and Democratic free
ailver advocates, and were invited to
send representatives to the Demo
cratic national convention at Chicago
next month to confer with the party.
The ailver men say that Senator
Teller is the man in their opinion on
whom all the anti-gold men could
unite, hut that they are willing to co
operate wherever they can consist
ently do so to defeat the gold stand
ard, and they are not seeking to press
Senator Teller so much as tiiey are to
aecure relief from the power of the
gold men.
They have issued the following ad

PI.RA TO TJJK PKOPI.K.
^ “To the People of the United States:
Obeying the call of duty and justified
by .the common citizenship of this re
public, we address this communica
tion to the people and the forthcom
ing conventions of the United States.
In doing so we claim no authority or
right other than that which belongs
to every man to express personal con
victions; but we respectfully solicit
the co-operation of all who believe
that the time has come for a return
to the simpler and more direct method

than haw obtained in recent years.
•Political party organization is
necessary, because without it the indi
vidual voter is dumb, but the party is
only the means, not the end. It is the
voice and not the sensu. As the world
advances in this wonderful epoch of
intellectual development and physical
improvement, there is constant re
quirement for better tiiiugs. The in- i
dividual feels that requirement and
heeds it, or fails in life's endeavors.
Parties must also obey the same law j
It follows, therefore, that the moment j
a parly shall choose to stand still or
retrogress, it is also inefficient to
achieve the end to which the people
ure necessarily destined. There i- no |
sanctity in mere parly name, and the
mark of decay is set on individual j
strength in a nation when the absolute |
rule of political organization coerce*
men from the truth for the sake of ex
pediency and establishes insincere
s'lhoiiv-lun to partisan rule for the
sake of power.

OKKAT TIHTTIIS NOTABI.T I.ACKINO.
"During alt this period we have
lacked a great constructive adminis
tration. No new social truth has
been put forward In an effective way.
While in all the department# of physi
cal life there have been developments
and achievements of ease and comfort
to the favored of mankind, in the still
greater and more important domain
of social reform, we nave stood still
or retrogressed. It is not that the
people have not felt the stirrings o(
determination, that this inaction has
endured, but because of the rule of
the party which has largely controlled
men in and out of office. It has be
come a source of reproach to any man
that he should dsre to renounce al
legiance to organization. Men have
been expected to submit their views
to the dictation of conventions, al
though It ia common knowledge that
conventions have been swayed to
views and declarations not the most
approved by the mass of the people
nor progressive for their welfare.
"If the voices which have aounded
to ua from every state in tills Union
are an Indication of the real feeling,
this year is the appointed time for the
people to assert themselves, through
such mediums as may give best prom
ise of the achievement of Justice. Hut
whether we are mistaken or not con
cerning tlie general sentiment in the
United Stales, we have not mistaken
our own duty in withdrawing from
the Republican convention, feeling
that it is better to be right and wltli
the minority in apparent defeat than
to be wrong with the majority in ap
parent triumph.
MONEIAKY IIKFORM TIIE OllEATEST.
"We hold that in the great work ot
social evolutlou In tills country mon
etary reform stands as the first requis
ite. No policy, however promising of
good results, can take its place. Con
tinuation during the next four years
upon the present financial system will
bring down upon the American peo
ple that cloud of impending evil, to
avet t which should be the first thought
of ststesrnei: and the first prayer of
patriots. Our very institutions are
at stake. To-day, with a rapidly in
creasing population, with widely
swelling demands, the basis of our
money is relatively contracting and
the people are passing into a servi
tude all the more dangerous because
it is not physically apparent. The
nation itself, as to other nations,
is losiug the sturdy courage which
could make it defiant in the face of in
justice and internal wrong. From the
farmer and the tradesman to the gov
ernment there is apparent the sain*
shrinkage from giving offense, lest the
vengeance of some offended financial
power should descend The business
man submits some portion of his judg
ment and his will, and tht nation sub
mits some portion of its international
right, lest some mighty foreign cred
itor shall make destructive demands.
Where will all this end if the people
shall decline to ussert themselves?
Where will it end if the older parlies
in their determination to maintain
themselves in power for power’s sake
alone shall refuse to recognize the
right and the hope of humanity.
CKEDITOll NATIONS ATTACKED.
"This country cannot much longer
exist free and independent against all
the rest of the world, uor can its peo
ple much longer be free in the noblest
sense of the term if the United States,
a debtor nation, shall follow a policy
dictated by creditor nations. We pro
duce all of the necessaries of life.
Other nations consume our products.
In the race for existence it is a con
stant struggle between producer and
consumer. Our present system of
money deliberately submits to iho de
sire and the profit of creditor nations,
leaving us in tiie muss and as individ
uals, a prey to the money gathering
mid the deadly cheapening of the
old world. As the debt to creditors
abroad increases on the masses of the
uaiiou, the price of humau production
on the farm and in the workshop is
decreased with appalling rapidity,

"With this in view, we offer to the

sents those distinguished virtues
which adorned the days and the deeds
of the earlier time of this republic, a
return to which virtues is requisite

ity and commanding example of
free institutions. That name is
Henry M. Teller, a man of the people

devotion to the common justice snd

We believe that the people of the
United States have him in their hearts
as tie has had their interests In his
purpose through all the work of an
exalted life.
"It is not merely as tbs exponent of
monetary reform that we present
this man to the people. It Is trus that
he has waged a mighty war for the
restorrtion of the money of the con
stitution, and his name has been iden
tified as that of no othor living man
with this irreat cause. Itut had hissc-r
vices been less demanded and lens no
ticed in thisdlrectlon, the people would
still have recognized In him for other
labors a statesman of the purest type.
His only poverty has been that of
purse. In sll things else—in the gen
erosities of man to man, in kindliness
of deeds for his fellows and In the
study and the doings of a mighty
career, he lias been one of the most
opulent American citizens of anv age.

DETROIT TRIBUNE BOLTS
Repudiates Min Platform a* “Damnably
Unpatriotic and Un-Republican.”
Detroit, Mich., June 20.—The
1 Tribune, one of the oldest daily news
papers in the West, and the leading
Republican paper of Michigan since
the birth of the party, unequivocally
repudiates the action of the Repub
lican national convention in declaring
absolutely for the gold standard as
against bimetallism. It says that
wnile the party's candidate is all right,
“the platform on tiie only important
issue berore t he country is dumuahly
unpatriotic and un-Republican. No
one's Republicanism can be impugned
if tie continues to stand squarely on
the national and stale platforms of
the past, and if he repudiates utterly
the false und un-American fuliniua
tion of St Louis conspiracy," and
advises active campaigning against,
"gold monometallism congressional
candidates ” _

Th« Fourth Uay'a Work.
8t. Louis, Mo., Juno 19. — When the
delegate* to the national Republican
convention assembled at the convao*
tion liall thla morning, tlie word we*
pasted around tliat the program wa*
to adopt the platform at the morning
aesalon, nominate tlie candidate for
I'renident In the afternoon and name
the Vice President at the evening ses
sion The McKinley leadere had ar
ranged to push things through and all
preparations had been made accord
Ingiy.
At 10:8? o'clock Permanent C,'hair
man Tiiuraton rapped for order, which
was soon partially secured Then
spectators and delegates arose for the
prayer by l)r. John R. Scott of Jack
sonville, Fla., the second colored pas
tor who has conducted the devotional
prelude. Although I)r Scott'a voice
was a strong one, so great was the
confusion or tne entering delegates
and spectators that it could bn told
only from the movement of the min
ister's lip* that he was praying.
Then Chairman Thurstin. without
any preliminaries, plunged Into bust,
ness by announcing that the first
thing on the program was the report
of the oommittnc on resolutions.
Senator-elect Joseph Henson Fora
ker of Ohio advanced to tlie front and
presented the platform.
The first sentenlencc of the plank j
pledging tlie party to “sound money” '
stui-ted a great cheer among the dele
gates on ( lie Hour. W hen the declare
tion of unalterable opposition to tlie
flee coinage of silver was read tlie [
delegates, Ted by Senator Dodge and
Colonel W. A Stone of Pennsylvania,
rose in a body, Pans, citneu ami hats
waved wildly until the pit looked like
a hurricane tossed sea and the galler
ies roared their approval. For two
minutes tlie luinuit continued. The
mention of tlie ••gold standard," while
received eutliuslnsl ieally by the
Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut and
New York delegations, did not arouse
sue), great enthusiasm
Hawaii and Monroe doctrine were
applauded, hut tlie enthusiasm over
tlie Cuban plank was a general disap
pointment. As the plank was read
Colonel Fred (•runt, who sat on the
platform with the distinguished
guests, arose and wildly waved about
his bend the Hag of the Cuban revolu
tionists, presented by the Cuban
junta to Janies Creeliuan, the Ameri
can correspondent, when lie was ca
lled by Oeneral YVeyler.
The invitation to the women of the
country to help the Republican party
to redeem it from Democracy and
Populism was given a good natured
cheer and the motion which Senator
Foraker made to adopt the platform
was also cheered
TELLER MAKES HIS PLEA.
Tbs Colorado Senator Forcibly Oppose*
(be Ciold Standard Flank.
As soon as the applause which
greeted the reading of the report of
the majority of the resolutions com
mittee had died away the chairman
announced that he would recognize,
to move a substitute for the majority
report, the gentleman from Colorado,
Mr. Teller.
The name of Teller set the Western
era wild. In little scattering squads
the handfulls of delegations who had
been sitting under the banners of Col
orado, of Idaho, of Utah, of Nevada,
California and Mon tuna, and some of
those from Tennessee and other
Western and Southern States, were on
their feet waviug hats, nags,umbrellas
fans and haudkeruhiefs and cheering.
The fire spread to the galleries and
spread across them until they seemed
to be almost unanimously carrying
the cheer. This lasted for about two
minutes.
'l'nen there fell over the house a
deep, profound culm, and the people
listened to a man while the clerk pro
ceeded to read the substitute platform
as follows:
“We, the undersigned members of
the committee on resolutions, being
eutirely unable to agree with that
portion of the majority report which
treats of the subjects of coinuge and
fiiiauce, respectfully submit the fol
lowing paragraph as a substitute
therefor
“The Itepublican party favors the
use of both gold and silver as equal
standard money, and pledges its
power to secure the free, unrestricted
and independent coinage of gold and
silver at our mints at the ratio of six
teen farts of silver to one of gold."
TKLI.KM WAkt:s Ills Afl-KAI.
Senator Teller, as he stood on the
platform to make his Hunt protest to
the Itepublican party against the
adoption of a gold atundaid policy, !
was a striking figure Tall gaunt, he
wore the old-fashioned frock coat of
the old-ilm* lUbupM Hie fare la

After Mr. Teller ha<l said: *T mast
sever my conne ttion with the political
party which makes the gold plank
one of the principal articles of it*
faith," he paused ami swept his eye*
across the hull. For an instant the
full significance of hi* defiance failed
to impress itself. Then it sunk horns
and the galleries arose with another
cheer and mingling with the cheer
came a fusilade of hisses.
A moment later, when Mr. Taller
said that if under such circumstances
he remained In the party be would b*
unfaithful to his trust, enthusiastic
cries of "No, no" came from the dele
gate* In tha Kastcrn and Moutharn
state*.
There was deep feeling, almost pa
thos in the Senator's voice and thou*
nearest could detect the glimmer of
tears in his eyes, in expression of the
grief over bis ascribes which h* and
his colleagues made for the sak* of
their consciences.
Another deu onstrallon ws* mad*
when Mr. Teller folded his arms
across the pink rosebud on his coat
and aank Into his seat. The cheers
began this timu with the silver men
and spread to the galleries and caught
up in Its whirl many of the gold dele

WILD SCENES.
Convention IlMlitc Itself With Rselte
men! end Kino Hon.
The following delegates were those
who walked out: The entire delega
tions of Colorado and Idaho; three
from Utah, i'ettlgrew from Mouth Da
kota. Ilurtman from Montana, Cleve
land and Mtrotlier from Neruda The
Utah men were Cannon, Kearns and
Allen, None of the delegates from
the territories went out. The dele
gates around the Colorado seat, broke
out after them. The Idaho standard
Is still standing.
As a Mlu of stern faced men marched
along the long pathway to the
door a great yell went up before
which every other outbreak of th*
day paled Into silence. It was a shout
In which admiration, defiance, deris
ion and rage were joined. The band
In the highest gallery broke into the
tumult, but its brazen clangor made
no impression oil the vocul storm
and was drowned in it. Finally when
the shout bud somewhat subsided the
noise of the bund asserted Itself
by degree* In the shape of the melody,
“Columbia, the Hem of the Ocean.”
Twice and three times was the strain
repeated, and then u voice took uptha
words: “Three Cheers for the Red,
White and Blue.” and then by degrees
the whole assembly took up the
chorus with a magnificent burst and
sung -,Tlie Army and Navy Forever,”
“Three Cheers for the Red, White and
Blue.'' Two stanzas were sung by
this chorus of 12,000 and the band,
tiring of its work, dropped out of tha
song.
In a few moment* the chair found a
lulling place In the applause to say:
“A gentleman from Montana who did
not go wants to address you."
Again the hats, the flags and um
brellas waved, again the chorus of
thousands of throat* sent forth paean*
and the delegate witii the white face
waited, lie was Bee Mantle of Mon
tana.
Mr. Mantle said that the Montana
delegation was divided. Nome would
continue to participate in thu proceed
ings, but others would remain silent.
An attempt of iieuderson of Iowa,
to interrupt was cried down by the
delegates and spectator* and Mr. Man
tle was allowed to speak to the finish.
When ho lied finished Chairman
Thurston recognized Senator Brown
of Utah, lie said that while he joined
his silver colleagues in their protest
against the reading of silver out of
the party, still lie believed that
