wOLCOTT's SPEECH.

There is a ring of FEASIBILITY but not
much of assurance in the long-looked
for speech of Senator Wolcott Of Colo
RADIO, who was the head of the commits
sion sent to Europe in the interest of
silver and an international bimetallism.
His emphasis of the fact before the
senate that the financial question over
Swallowed all others, and his claim that
a continued adhesion to the simple gold
standard means disaster to America
agricultural and commercial interests,
will cause some squirming, while his
assurance that the other great republic
OF the world, on the other side of the
ocean, stood resolutely for silver, will
dmpart new hope TO the believers in a
double standard. He deplored the fact
that in making silver an issue in the
last campaign so much bitterness was
engendered as to blind the vision of
many who had thereby come to think
bimetallism an impossibility. The SEN
ators speech upon the whole was a
conservative effort, void of partisan
bias or of invective. He INDUCED in no
threats, but on the other hand endeav-
ored to hopefully encourage the friends
of the cause which he represents, the
sole criticism INDUCED in being his ref
erence to the Gage policy, which he
predicted would never see daylight nor
get beyond the house Of representa-

WICHITA HAS THE MAN.

Since the campaigns in which st.
John and Anthony, respectively, were
elected, Kansas has had no governor
who could make a speech, that is none
of them were orators who could sway
an audience or carry one of its feet
with the enthusiasm possible in a
rounded period or in a final perOration.
1t has been held that the day of stump
oratory and platform eloquence, or real
effective speech-making has gone for
ever. Charley Scott, editor of the lola
Register, does not think so. He evil
IDENTIFY believes that a candidate can do
much by effective oratory, and that it
behooves the Republican party to NOM
mate an orator as well as a statesman
for gubernatorial honors. Admitting
the soundness of the claim. southwest
Kansas is liable TO put forward & can
didate for that position who as a win
ming speaker is second to none in the
state. Before jury or on the stump
he never fails of catching the sympa-
thy of his auditors. Speaking of the
candidate already brought forward the
Register says that the candidate 81
the Republican party for governor this
year must be able, not to talk merely
but to make a speech. Not to be ar
orator ought not to bar a man from tht
governors Office, but it did two year:
ago and win this year if the expert
lnent is repeated. OF course where tn,
tide is setting strongly one way orator,
may not be able 10 stem it. Smith wa.

INGALLS, AND LELAND.

The Republican harmony promised
for the coming Kansas campaign seems
to owe somewhat of its conspicuous
ness to the malignancy of the personal
scraps within its ranks. Following a
long inside contest for precedence, eX-
Senator ingalls, addressed himself to
the task of skinning Cy Leland. The
operation was characterized by as
much of malevolence as of gall, there
being no lack of either, with enough Of
the twisted facts and current history
thrown in to give plausability to the
delectable job Everybody, including
the political friends and foes of both
ingalls, and Leland, guffawed ana
swore by turns, the majority really en-
joying the roundup. If Leland serl-
ousIy felt the castigation he didn't let
on. Sure it is now that he was not
nortally wounded. if even disabled.
Taking a little time TO pull himself to-
gether and having reached the same
rush for ingalls, which is not unworthy
the prominence of his opponent or the
occasion. Cy goes not only for the
solar plexus Of the statesman without
a lob. but labs him in his most vulner-
able parts, taking particular pains to
open up scores of old sores to the tune
of about two columns in which he
charges but for ingalls, Populistic pro-
cIivities and Soeialistic curios the Re
publican party of Kansas would not
have met defeat in the first place. Lee
land ends his screed of sarcasm and re-
dolent records with:
IF YOU ask me what has been the
great obstacle to rebuilding the Re-
publican party in Kansas, my answer
would be-Ingalls. But he is now poll
tically dead, and everybody knows it
He is like a venomous serpent that has
received it's death wound, and hereaf-
ter there will come from him only a
hiss now and then, and he will soon be
forgotten He will wriggle around re-
porting prize fights and splitting his
venom occasionally, but will not be
able to sting anybody except himself.
Nothing is left for his intellect save his
unreasonable conceit, and nothing of
his heart save the most bitter malevo-
