HENRY M. TELLER.

The Man Who Will Represent Colorado Republicans at Bt. Louie, Henry M. Teller, United States Senator and dctegate-at-large to the Republican convention from Colorado, seems to have cornered his party out in the mountain region, and will go to the convention with the rote in his vest pocket. Mr. Teller is

a statesman who has traveled and has seen a great deal of life in Washington. He was born in New York, Allegheny County, just sixty-six years ago, and before he had left his native State he was a lawyer. In 1858 he came West and •tayed in Illinois for a matter of three years. Then he weut further west, and, liking Central City, settled there. Senator Teller never held any office until Colorado was admitted as a State into the Union. He then was made United States Senator, and took his seat Dec. 4, 1876. President Arthur made’him Secretary of the Interior, in which capacity he served until March, 1885. Since that time he has been twice returned to the Senate. Mr. Teller was always a strong silver man.
