Show SENATOR TELLER AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. At tho Democratic convention nt Colorado Springs last Saturday, Son-ator Son-ator Teller mndo a speech in tho courso of whloh he said: "Thero Is not money enough to buy tho consciences of tho voters of this stato. Wo aro together fighting men's battle. God's battle Wo will not bo carried off our feet because" sonio man has opened a barrel. Wo have a prln-clplo prln-clplo and uro for it to tbo ond of outlives, out-lives, nnd wo know your party, tho Democratic party, Is tho only party (13 which tbo battlo for bimetallism and human liberty can bo won. Our hope Is centered In you. Don't bo discouraged, discour-aged, because n lot of craven cowards, who call thcmsolvcsslIvorRcpubllcans, havo followed a barrel. Truth may go down beforo tho cohorts of bin, but It will rlso again and right will triumph. On silver and other gravo qttostlons, tbo hopo of this country rests with you." Ills words might bo applicable to politics in Utnh and aro worthy of tho attontlou and consideration of somo of our so-called silvor Republican voters and newspapers. Senator Tollor has been the foremost silvor Republican In tho United States, ho has been looked up to as the leader of that party by its members In every State, his oxpcrlcnco in tho United States Senate and in political battles entitles him to speak more understanding upon the question of bimetallism than psrhaps any othor mon; and ho saya that tho "Domocratlo party Is tho only party by which tho battle for bimetallism bimetal-lism and human llborty can bo von." Sonator Toller has been n life-long Republican Re-publican and Js not n man to lightly loavo tho party In which all his hopes, ambitions and contldenco havo boen centered, po any of our Republicans who still cling tq tho old party name with a "silver" prefix d,uo to dispute Sonator Tellor when ho says to a Domocratlo Dom-ocratlo convention, "On silver nnd otbor gravo quostlons, tho hopo of this country rosts with you" (thD Democrats)? Demo-crats)? Isn't It ahout tlmo that "silvor Republicans" oast aside tho old party namo, whloh from their professed bo-lluf bo-lluf Is now nothing but a nnmo, and unite fully with tho party which openly endorses tho principles wh,Icb. they claim to bo paramount? |
