Washington. April Ex-senator VOL.
colt, OF Colorado. has written letter
defining his position in regard to the
ST. Louis convention. The senators
position is radically different from the
position of lis colleague, Senator Teller,
as Senator Wolcott indicates his in
tention of remaining with the republic
an party whatever action IL may take
ON the currency question. In his com
munication. which Is addressed to the
chairman OF the republican state com
mittee of Colorado. the senator says;
when the republican convention meets
IN Colorado May IA II may decline to be
represented at ST. Louis or II may select
delegates. III the latter. the duty OF tho
delegation. In my mind. will be to attend

"To secure the unlimited coinage OF eIl-
yer would count party ties as nothing. At
this moment. however. the situation which

There Is. I'm my opinion, one event which
might involve our country IN worse disas-
