SENATOR WoLooTr. one of the representa-
tiyes OF Colorado in the Senate, delivered on
Thursday IA very brilliant speech in that body
in favor of free coinage. Able as the Senator
is it is doubtful whether there is a single man
in Congress whose opinion on tho subject
should carry less weight. Many of the silver
, men support the principles which they advo-
cate from the force of earnest conviction
alone MIR. Wolcott. az well as Mr. Stewart
OF Nevada. represent two States whose chief
product is silver ore just as much so. indeed
as wheat is of Dakota or tobacco Of South-ide
Virginia Very naturally these senators are
in favor of the Government buying up all the
silver ore. They are silver men because their
States have silver to sell and as their int
rests are 50 deeply involved all the arguments
which they ghbiy offer are heavily discounted
in the minds of all impartial listeners.

tend cordial welcome 10 Virginia to the then
ex-President and hopes he may become an
honored member of the Democratic party. and
live long and happy life IN the Old Domin-
ion. OF which State his illustrious grandfather
was always proud TO be native.

on the free coinage issue. Then our esteemed
Georgia contemporary must have experienced

been so earnest an advocate of Hill that its
evening rival, the Journal, has dubbed il the
"Hills.itutiOn, " and no one in the country has
lodged that issue more than he. II it really
