Denvek, May 'Sá - Uongressman John F. Shafroth, Republican, who has just reCurned froni Salt Lake, where ho attended the silver conference as a delégate from Colorado, says if the Democrats put a free silver candidato in the field for president and the Republican party does not ie will be the duty of theRepublicans of thia state to support the Democratie noruinee unanimously and heartily. "The Democracy is a great national party," he added, "and has a foothold over the country that a new party would not have, and by working jointly the Republicana and Democrats of the West would hare a great chanca of carrying the day for their candidate. "I believe in giving my own political party tha lirst opportunit.y to keep us in the fold, but if ie does not come out in its platform tor free siiver plainly and uumistakably and with no loophole left to crawl out of the position, tlien I am going to leave the party and vote for the candidate, no matter what his politics may be, who will support and cnrry out the free silver principies. Por these reasons I would have the delegates to the national oonventions definitely instructed so that should the national conventions refuse to champion silver the delegations could leave the convention honorably and afterwards unite upon their own candidate."
