Senator Teller relieved his mind in a speech at Grand Junction recently and told some plain truths about modern Republicanism that hurt. Among other things he said that this administration is uncompromisingly against silver, and that no one should be misled by its sham pretense to friendliness to silver at this time. He warned his hearers to beware of decoys that were being used by Mark Hanna and his forces to get their minds away from this important ques- i tion. Of course this struck The Tribune of this city pretty close to home, as it just now is one of the decoys that Senator Teller had in mind. It professes to be for silver, but still is advising its readers every day to give their support to a party that endorses McKinley. So it had to refer to Senator Tellers speech. It could not jump onto the Senator in its characteristic way just at present, because he has too many friends among its readers who would not stand it. But it will get more courageous after awhile, and before the campaign closes Senator Teller will be one of the principal targets for its abuse. It contented itself this time with saying that he is that his disappointed and vindictive, But it does not reasons are most weak. undertake to answer any of his arguments. The facts are that The Tribune is trying by degrees to lead its readers into the McKinley camp. Why it is doing this needs no suggestion from us. About the onlyj reason it gives is that it wants to beat the Democrats because they have become too arrogant. We believe The Tribune has a! ogreat manv friends among silver men and these men should be on their guard. No matter what may be their opinion of Democrats or Democracy in general, they should not allow themselves to become Hannaized. j j i I I y. ( |
