CIhttc SENATORS VINO may Ihlrly % ClhhS
as friends of the administration.
DO Not Like Cleveland.
A number Of Democratic senator's, inclu
ing Hill, Murphy, Blackburn. Morgan, liza
ris, Bate, pugh, Vest. Cockrell and other
come dangerously near to being ut outs vii
the master Of the White House. Mr.. Cley
land was never popular with the leaders
the senate and apparently has not improve
his situation In this respect by the mann,
in which he has endeavored to pass the r
peal bill. The conspicuous lack Of frien,
Illness prevailing between our house OF lori
and the executive mansion Is an importar
feature Of the legislative situation. Dem
cratic senators who do not like Mr.. Clev
land are not willing to go to the extren
followed by Senator Stewart Of Ncvad
last week In his vicious assault upon I'll
president. That Is to say, they are not viii
ing to do so publicly. but II Mr.. Clevelan
could hear the remarks made about hi
every hour of the day in the senate cloal
rooms his ears would be burning all ii
time.
Wolcott's Peculiar Position.
Senator Wolcott Of Colorado has M
been as conspicuous In this campaign q
was expected. Though generally concede
to he the finest natural orator in the senat.
he has not had much to say and has borr
a rather inconspicuous part in the parli
mentary battle. The gossip Of the cloal
rooms is to the effect that. while Mr.. Wa
colt represents silver constituency an
of course always talks for silver and vot,
for 1t when he gets chance, he 10 actual
at heart gold standard man. Mr.. Wolcoi
comes from New England family and ht
New England traditions and conservatism
Besides, it Is said large number Of Il
friends in Boston and elsewhere In No
England were induced to send immeni
sums Of money to Colorado for investmei
and for loans on mortgages through II
representation which Mr.. Wolcott mad
to them concerning the prosperity of thu
country. The young orator Is thus plac{
In peculiar situation. To advocate fri
silver would, to his New England FRIEND
appear like favoring return Of their III
vestments in deprecated currency. whiv
IL he does not advocate free silver with d.
the power and earnestness Of which he Il
capable Colorado will have no further uio
