Democracy was almost gone when

so will go the country in national

The Silver Fight Just Commenced.
In an interview pnbliahed a few
days after tbe election, Senator
Henry M* Teller, the well known
Colorado silver Republican, said:
“I don’t think the Republican
party will do anything for silver
tbe coming fonr years. The "decla-
ration of the St. Lonis platform
amounts to nothing with a limita-
tion pot upon it. Besides that, the
iism, internationally or otherwise.
McKinley, it seems to me, has
shown by bis speeches that he
would be the advocate and sup-
porter of 4he sold standard, on tbe
ground that it is a better standard
than bimetallism.
“Daring the four years to come
I exto see the Republican
party abandon all pr.eteose to a de-
sire to secure international bimet-
allism. The oontest will hereafter
be made between the gold stand-
ard supporters and the organized
hosts of bimetallism. I think that
four years from now people will
be sufficiently educated to under-
stand the danger of the gold stand-
ard, and that the party that stands
for bimetallism in 1900 by the
United States alone will be suc-
cessful.
“There is no reason why we
should be discouraged. Oar oan-

sire, and performed his part to per-

The men cut the tree .down, aud
when the bear fell iuto the river
they pursued him with a boat and
captured him. Heiiry Mullens de-
scribed the capture. He said:
‘The mainvtq>uble we had was’
