60 of Welcome by Caldwell Yesman
and e. u. Coo.

Denver, Sept. B. An elaborate
public reception was rendered to
Senator Edward q. Wolcott ut the
Brown Palace hotel Saturday night,
which In point of numbers was a higli
compliment to him. The reception be-
gan at 7:3O o'clock, and the formalities
were concluded by o. At that hour
Senator Wolcott descended from the
platform on which lie sat, and for over
one hour was engaged In shaking the
hands of those people who had assem-
bled to bid him welcome home agaa,
The rotunda, grand staircase and
first two balconies of the hotel We're
filed with people, while the ratings
OF the third, fourth and fifth balconies
We're lined with fuccs. The edificc was
decorated in bunting and flowers, and
presented IL beautiful appearance.
Senator Wolcott and the reception
committees of the Mining Exchange
and Chamber of Commerce occupied a
platform at the base of the staircase.
Over them hung sllken American flags.
At the capitals of the onyx pillars flank
Ing the platform were floral pieces, one
bearing the words "Silver Ed.," and
the other u silver dollar mounted In
roses.
Addresses of welcome were delivered
by Caldwell Yeaman and Earl Is. COe.
! n response SENATOR Wolcott said In
part:
"AIr. President of the Chamber of
Commerce, Ladies' and Gentlemen-If
the very kind things which the distin.
guished vice-prcsident of the Chamber
Of Commerce, my friend, Judge Yea
man, and the equally kind things
which my friend Mr.. Coe have said Of
me We're true. l should be at no loss to
explain this magnificent ovation. AS 1t
Is, the reasons for 1t are not far to
seek. There have been for us all for
many months now dark and troublous
days. We have seen the material in
tercsts of our splendid state, built up
after years of toll. largely destroyed
by national legislation. We have seen
great interests sacrificed and all values
In the state unsettled. We have passed
through the throes Of agitation and dis
turbance which necessarily accompany
such n condition of affairs, until each
day has ushered in some fresh disaster
and each night has seemed unreleved
by hope.
1.-THE inevitable tendency of such
condition Of affairs is TO bring men
closer TO each other-and common in
terest, and common concern. and COM
mon loyalty to our commonwealth have
served largely to obliterate party lines
and traditions: have almost completely
destroyed the traces of old differences
and party disputes, and have led every
good citizen to stand together shoulder
TO shoulder for the interests OF Colo

stood ms one of your representatives
has been extended that splendid fell
lowshlp which embraces every citizen
who values the future of the state.

Albion w. Tourgee thus sets up the
criterion by which political party
may be judged. 1t is quite applicable
to the populist party In Colorado
Their fragrant acts certainly do out
weigh their declarations In favor of
reform and good government:
Parties are composed Of three essen
tinl components:
]. Declared principles.
2. Adherents who believe In these
principles.
3. Its recognized opponents. or those
who do certain acts Us representatives
Of the party.
BY these three things party is 10
be judged. The man who estimates
the quality and character Of n party
by It's platform only Is so deficient In
that universal qua;,ty known us COM
Yon sense as to tseryc to rank as a
phenomenon in an idiot asylum. In
certain states of political sentiment
platforms are Intentionally framed to
deceive. They are part and parcel of
the work of n party's representatives,
who may, and often do. misreprcsent
the spirit and purpose of Il party, either
through lack of sympathy with 1t or
desire to tiex and modify the party
policy.
AS the great body of every party's
adherents is the most important elc-
ment of party existence. the spirit and
tendency of party must be judged
fIcm its history, the acts Of legislation

of Its adherents. as well us by Its plat
forms and the declarations of its "lead-
ers." This is the one universal stand
ard by which alone collective object
and purpose can be truly judged or cor
rectly determined. 1t is the rule of
words and works, by which human
purpose can alone be properly inferred,
