Colorado All RiEht.-ColoradOans in
Washington declare that the Fusion ticket
nominated yesterday at Denver IS one OF
the strongest that could have been form
ed 1t represents an equitable distribu
ton Of the offices among the clements
constituting the party. and is headed by
the Hon James b. Orman, of Pueblo.
Democrat of distinction and pronounced
loyalty. The Populists and Free Silver
Republicans were given the other places
on the ticket, except the authorship. The
feature Of greatest Importance diseerned
by the ColoradcaEs here is that the con-
yention wGs dominated by Gov. Charles
II Thomas. who 80 made temporary
chairman OF the Kansas City Convention
at the request Of Mr.. Bryan. Governor
Thomas is slated to succeed the Hon Ed
ward Oliver Wolcott in The Senate. and
his complete control OF the Fusion forces
ia his State indicates that he viii encoun-
ter no considerable opposition in the Leg
isiafure at Denver next winter. Il is also
said 20 denote that the Fusion party VIII

any trouble Whether or not Senator VOL

rrnizes the situation in his State as ut
sSrt, homeless. and. therefore. will not
waste his time or money in attempting 10
better it. II Mir. Mckinley is reelected
IL is understood that he will take good
care of Senator Wolcott by sending him
ms an Ambassador to EUrope-either 10
France or Germany. or 1t IS considered 10
pe not improbable that Mr.. Mckinley
might call him TO the Cabinet. either IS
Secretary OF the Interior or Postmaster
General. Mr. Wolcott is familiar with the
duties OF both of these positions as he
has long been prominent in postoftice leg
islatiou and has also had occasion 70 ac-
Quaint himself with the Interior Depart
mont II MIR Mckinley Is defeated il is
said that Senator Wolcott will desert Col
orado and resume his citizenship among
his relatives and boyhood friends in Mass
afhllsettS Ii Is pointed out that In tastes
and tefupsrament he is more Of an East
eruer than a wcsterner anyhow. and il is
stated that his rich brother. she we'll
known banker Of Denver. has been trying
for wears TO inGVse him TO quilt politics
ana 20 with him back TO Massachusetts.
Pushing sIbiey Hard.-News comes
from the Twenty-seventh Pennsylvania
District that the Hoa. Joseph Croker Sib-
lev is having a hard rub in his race for
reelection to Congress. Though ayOwed-
" A Republican when he last had occasion
10 declare himself AMI use nominee of
u.at party. he is being opposed by Re
publican. eN-State Senator Emory, II
,nsns out that while the sreat Sibley was
disporting himself in the plain garh Of
Democrat he was all the time in secret
alliance with the Hon. Matthew Stanley
QUAY and the Standard Oil Company.
Now that ouay's star is on the waue il
appcars that Sihlcy has about lost his
bearing. and is houndering around in
Kind Of loose ard reckless way without
knowing exactly what path TO take The
standard OH Company is s,ill true 20 him,
but Emory is making il so warm for that
MONOPOLY that Uncle Joe seems doomed 10
suffer. The Democrats OF the district,
whom Slhley once led. have turned
against him and endorsed his independent
Republican opponent II is thought that
this combination win Re too much for
Slbley. and that the halls OF Congress viii
not again he iliumiLa,ed by his poetic fire.
stu there is hope for Washington even
In this distressing and gloomy outlook.
for Sihley has dodantly declared his inten-
ton OF permanently residing here whether
or cot he Is returned TO Congress.
