RosToS, Feb. 23.-The mission of Tinted States Senator Wolcott to Flu ropa in the interest of bimetallisin is the subject of a long article in the Pail Mall Gazette to-day in which the pa- per saws there is not bit of evidence that Mckinley is in sympathy with Mr Wolcott's mission, nor is there the sliphtest indication that his visit to Europe had even unofficial sanction. Tn conclusion the Gazette says: Sen ator Wolcott came as a private advocate ioritv of his fellow-countrymen Under such circumstances to ex- pect he would receive official sup port from the foreign opponents of such cause required degree of child like simplicity rare anywhere and which no one would expect to find in Colorado. On his return Senator Vol colt will find that the newspapers alone will display any anxiety regard 1ng the result of his personally con- ducted European tour. He has met many distinguished people in England, France and Germany, but in not one of these countries did he find that bilnet- allism was considered necessary to it's welfare. Though the mission was ab- solutely fruitless, it was quite as sue cessful ns it deserved to be.

The Reform Press Presidcnt Very Filter
 Against Fusion with Democracy.


 MEMPHIS, Tenn. Feb. o3.-The an- nual meeting of the National Reform Press association, the peoples party editorial organization. was called to order this morning by President Paul Vandervoor [, of Nebraska. Hundreds of delegates were present, nearly every southern and western state being rep- resented. The only noted eastern pop mist on the ground is George r. Wash burn, of Boston, q member of the na- tional executive committee of the party, who was closely associated with Senator Jones in the direction of the late campaign. All of the state or ganizations of the reform press are rep resented. In his annual address Presi- dent Paul Vandervoort said two-thirds of the rank and file of the democratic party did not care one iota for free sil- yer. and bitterly denounced any fur ther fusion with the democrats In closing his address he said:
 We must bring abount a political revolution at the ballot box. remodel the government on the American plan. resume the sovereign power of issuing money and compel the bank CTS to run legitimate banking business. Let the people rule ana nOt the banks ana lot us continually agitate that 1900 is the time to hold national constitutional convention and secure the rights of free government taken from us by corporations, combines and trusts.
 Other nations employ their idle labor. This nation cannot afford to let her people starve for want of work. It is cheaper to employ them than to aid them by charitable contribu- tions. Public works should be paid for by Issuing money until the per capita is the same as at the close af the war.
 The great obstacle to our sncces-i 1. the demo- cratic party. We gre all deluded by the siren song of an honorable union and led through the slaughter house to the brink of an open grave by our most trusted leaders Fusion is tho deadly upas tree that poisons and kills our party
 Believing that the life and preservation and success of our principles depend upon it. rec ommend that this association demand the res ignation of Marion Butler as national chairman and J. A. Edgcrton as national secretary and if they do not immediately respond that this as- sociation and the members of the general con- ference deposc them and elcct new officers and call on all our people 10 recognize them. If we have not the power to protees ourselves we had better disband.
