In accordance with the programme
previously arranged, Senator Wolcott
advanced to the platform when the state
of Colorado was called. He was dressily
attired, sturdy of form, frank in manner
and attractive of face. Senator Wolcott
at once captured the hearts of the audi
ence. He is always an eloquent talker
but today he excelled even the efforts
which have gained him fame in the SEN
ate. His words, uttered with depth of
feeling that made them living things
came huently and forcibly and his ges-
lures were graceful and effective. When,
with smiling face he predicted that Mr..
Blaine would be President of the United
States, he raised a whirlwind of applause
which was renewed when he. emphasized
the fact that Mr.. Blaine was not seeking
the nomination. Senator Wolcott' S
speech was an eloquent tribute to Mr.
Blaine. 1t was as follows:
Senator wolcott's Speech.
The greatest Republican now living
suffered defeat eight years ago because
the party he led and honored was torn

umphed. We meet today to undo that
wrong and present to our uncrowned
leader the pledge of our answering de-
votion and the assurance of victory in
November that will obliterate in his
heart and ours, the memory of past de-
feat. Prolonged cheering. With our
reputation for fealty and devotion, it is
to us matter of comparative indiffer-
ence who shall be chosen to lead the
Democratic hosts, but we trust that they
will again re-nominate their prophet of
tariff reform in order that we may DEM
onstrate how short q life SANDER and
calumny have, that our country may re-
pair the wrong of 1884, and that we may
stamp with the seal Of final disapprov-
al a policy which could lead only to i'm
poverishment at home and which would
have broughtus only contempt and dis
honor abroad.
The welfare of our beloved party, Mr..
Chairman, is infinitely of greater i'm
portance than the nomination or vindica-
tion of any man within its ranks, and
when the roll of states is called, believe
it will be remembered that the obliga-
tons of the office are repaid solely by
the faithful performance of its duties.

mas guldea TWO Administrators with his
sagacity and faithfulness. We are re-
spected and honored abroad and we owe
it to his statecraft. There is no public
measure since the days of reconstruction
which has tended to the advancement OF
our country with which his name has not
been identified. When the history OF
this generation of the Republic shall have
been written, his name will stand fore
most among statesmen.
