TELLER TO LEAD COLORADO.
The Convention at Pueblo Instructed the
Delegates to Be Guided by film at
St. Louis—Wolcott Ignored.
News From other States.
PUEBLO, Colo., May 16.—The Republican
convention adjourned early today, having
made Senator Teller the leader of the del-
egation to the national convention by
unanimous vote. No instructions were
given to the delegates except to follow the
leadership of Senator Teller. No mention
was made of the name of Senator Wolcott,
who withdrew from candidacy for election
as a delegate at large in a telegram in
which he stated that his action in with-
drawing was in the interests of harmony.
A platform was adopted, in the first
paragraph of which it was declared that
bimetallism and protection were vital to
the prosperity of the country, that oriental
competition would render protection futile
with the gold standard. Democratic free
trade and the gold standard were declared
to be the cause of a destruction of values
one-half. Bond issues were denounced.
and the blame for the country’ s financial
’ condition was put upon the Democracy.
The money plank was as follows:
“We therefore declare that the free coin-
age of silver and gold at a ratio of 16 to 1
is for the time being of paramount and
controlling importance and the most press-
ing question connected with our political
duty and action. The doctrine of bimet
allism has never been denied by any na-
tional Republican convention, but often
asserted, and they who now deny it are
false to the party, and not we who still
maintain it. International bimetallism
can only be achieved through national bi-
metallism adopted by the United States.
To the maintenance of this principle, as
well as to the restoration of silver as a
money metal to the full standard of the
constitution, we, as Republicans, pledge
our most arduous and persistent effort. ”
Senator Teller Landed.
Restriction of immigration is favored,
and Senator Teller lS commended in most
laudatory terms in the longest paragraph
in the resolutions for his championship of
silver in congress. He is declared to be
the “ablest living exponent of the true
principles of American finance and the
most fearless and intelligent advocate in
public life of the financial system which
will best promote the comfort and pros-
perity of the whole people and the whole
world.” The only instructions given are
these:
“That the delegates selected by this con-
vention are hereby instructed to act in
harmony with the views of the Hon. Hen-
ry M. Teller as to the course to be pursued '
by the Colorado delegation at the national
convention, and that Senator Teller is
hereby selected as a delegate and appoint-
ed to lead the delegation at the St. Louis
convention. ”
The resolutions were adopted with a
shout.
The remaining delegates at large are
Frank Goudy, Denver; J. W. Rockefellow,
Gunnison, and James Downing, Aspen.
Gold Men \Vin In North Carolina.
RALEIGH, May 16.—After waiting 24
hours for the report of the committee on
credentials the second day’s session of the
state Republican convention began. The
report favored the seating of nearly all the
Dockery sound money contesting dele—
gates, and its adoption placed the sound
money men in control of the convention.
State Chairman Holton, against whom
the silverites had organized an opposition
on account of his financial views, will be
re- -elected. and 16 of the 22 delegates from
the state will favor McKinley. The others
are uncommitted.
Dockery or Boyd, both sound money
men, will be nominated for governor.
The convention will vote down silver reso-
lutions if any are offered.
Major W. H. Martin and E. H. Johns-
ton, the latter colored. who have been
elected delegates to the national Republic—
an convention by the Republican conven-
tion of this (the Fourth) congressional
district, are neither of them known as Mc-
Kinley men. On the contrary. they are
two of the leaders of the opposition to the
Russell-McKinley combination - in this
state, and Major Martin says that he can-
not tell until he gets to St. Louis whom he
will support. He thought his colleague,
Johnston, occupied a similar position.
This makes at least three districts that
have elected anti-McKinley delegates.
Rates to the Conventions.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.—The leading
passenger officials of the overland rail-
roads, as represented in the Transconti-
nental Passenger association meeting, are
still wrangling over convention rates from
the Pacific coast. According to the report
submitted by the committee having the
matter in‘charge reduced tickets will only
be offered for sale in any town or city west
of St. Paul, Omaha and Kansas City dur-
ing two days. The dates will be so fixed
as to allow the purchaser to buy his ticket
and make a continuous trip to the conven-
tion city by the time set for the opening
of the convention. The purchaser of a
ticket must state when he intends return-
ing, and the ticket will be so marked.
' - Under this arrangement reduced tickets
to the Republican national convention at
St. Louis will be put on sale here June 10
and 11. Returning from St. Louis holders
of these tickets will have them honored
coming heme if they leave St. Loni! June
21., July 14. July 21 or July 28, provided
they specify any one of these dates. The
exact dates afleoting' the sale and life of
tickets to the other conventions will be

Washington Money IPlank.
EVERETT, Wash., May 16.—The Repub<
lican state convention adjourned after
adopting the following financial plank
after a prolonged contest and instructing
the delegates for McKinley:
“Resolved, That we favor the mainte-
nance of the present gold standard and are
Opposed to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. We are,
however, favorable to an international
agreement looking to the general use of
both metals as money at a fixed ratio and
oommefi‘d the efforts in that behalf of the
.iast Republican administration. ”
. A free silver plank, offered as a substi-
tute, was defeated by a vote of 112 to 290.
The silver men then attempted to secure
_ the substitution of the Ohio plank, but
this was also defeated, 178 to 213. The
final vote on the adoption off-the sound
money plank and the McKinley instruc-
tions was 261 to 131. As reported from
the committee on resolutions the platform

' Two STORIES.
Chauncey Depew Took an Ovation Which
Did Not Belong to Him. -»
The other day Chauncey M. Depew
was riding along in a. sleeper, When the
train came to a stop at Cornell uni-
versity There was a. big crowd out-
side and the station platform was lined
with yelling college boys. “Speech!
speech! speech!” they yelled.
Chauncey smiled. He was used to
great ovations but this was more than
he expected. He waited modestly for
a. few minutes for the cries to subside.
The yells grew louder. Chauncey got.
up, put on his best smile and buttoned
up his coat. He strode out with all the
dignity of a great man. He did not
know that one of the faculty of Cornell
was going off on the train and was be-
ing given a. rousing send-off by the col-
lege.
Depew appeared upon the platform
bowing and smiling 1n every direction.
“Young men of Cornell,” he began, in
his best voice, “you do me the distin-
guished honor—” A great cheer went
up. Some of the boys recognized him.
They yelled louder.
Depew continued his speech and
gained the attention of the crowd. He
thanked them profusely for their re-
ception, gave them some advice and re-
tired. Just at this juncture the train
drew out. The departing college pro-
fessor walked inside and glared at De-
pew. He is now writing, a treatise on
“Nerve.”
