WoLCoTT AGAINST TELLER.
Rival Candidates for United States
Senate From Colorado.

DENVER, Col. Sept. 1.-THE PRINCIPAL
issue in the coming election in Colorado is
the United States senatorship. and IL is al
ready apparent that the contest is distinct
ly between Henry NJ. Teller and Edward O.
Wolcott The democratic and populist
members Of the Legislature are pledged by
the state conventions of their parties TO
vote for the reelection Of Senator Teller.
There appears to be little or no opposition
to WoIcott in the republican party, and
should a republican majority be elected TO
the legislature the ex-senator can step into
the shoes Of his former colleague. The
publican state convention will meet I'm this
city tomorrow for the purpose Of nomnat-
ing a full state ticket and CONGRESSMAN at
large.
The sentiment among the delegates who
have already arrived is strongly in favor of
giving the gubernatorial nomination to
Frank c. Goudy of Denver who was the
defeated candidate of the party I'm the last
election. Mr.. Goudy is not seeking the
nomination, but his friends say that he will
accept It. and are claiming that he will be
nominated by acclamation after com
plimentary ballot has been given for the
other aspirants.

TOM REED IN 1904.
Wall Street Wants Ex-Speak er For
President.

New York, March 14.-Tom Reed is
candidate for the presidential nominal
ton of 1904 by his own inclination and
the wish of Wall street. And when
Roosevelt enters the jousting place he
will find the brilliant ex-speaker ready
to give him battle.
The news that Reed has become a
candidate will not surprise a few who,
when he settled in New York felt that
his removal from Maine was due not
so much to the salary attached to the
new position as to his wish to become
identified with a state whose place in a
national campaign was both uncertain
and of sufficient size to make a fight
for its electoral vote worth while.
The fact that a Republican candidate
hailed from Maine gave him no lever
age in the consideration of the manipu-
lators of national politics. Maine is ae-
counted sure Republican thing, and so
why waste powder to defend it? This
question had much to do with Reeds
turn-down in St. Louis. Had he hailed
then from New York another tale might
have been told.
REED SILENT AS TO CANDIDACY.
Reed himself is silent as to his can
didacy. He is of too keen intellect to
make such an intent public so early in
the game; but that he is a bona fide
candidate despite his silence there in
most excellent authority for stating.
According to this authority Reeds
l.
for some time been noticed a friendly
inclination in his direction of the mag
mates of that mighty thoroughfare. But
President Roosevelt'S action regarding
| the merger and also his pronounced in
| tention to see that the interstate COM
| merce law was vigorously enforced
| have alarmed the street, which, despite
| its august power, is peOpled by the most
| sensitive and tiInid men in the world.
The streets objection to Roosevelt is
not that he is not honest and all that
sort of thing. There is, of course, no
! kind of doubt as to that. But he is re-
| garded as erratic. And erraticism on
the part of the president of the United
| States is something which Wall street
| nagnates strongly oppose. Their chief
wish in a nations magistrate is rock
| bound stability. And in Tom Reed the
| street thinks it sees that element. At
| any rate, there have been important
discussions on the subject since the
| Roosevelt merger action. And hearty
| approval has met the mention of Reed s
name. and a press agent has been en-
gagged.
The authority upon which the foregoing
ence of the Standard Oil people is not
only at Reeds disposal but is actively en-
| gagged in organizing the situation into CO.
| hesive shape for easy handling
The fact that the Standard Oil interests
mulgated by a brass band paid by the said
interests. though it is not unlikely that
the opposition may not only willingly but
the fact that the Standard does favor
I fina nciaI interests throughout the country
that he is eminently safe man for pres
And when his ..safeness'. is sufficiently
4 implanted in the minds of the other finan-
cial interests to win their support. the
support of the rest of the party will be
sought in such fashion the judgment
