Publican party At the last election,
and not for any candidate for the
senate.
AS il stands now, the field is
open to every republican asPirant

but not more than the rest. Gov
ernor elect Peabody has given it
out plainly that the state patron
age shall not be used IN further
ance of the candidacy OF any par
ticular person. and it is certain
that the federal patronage will not
be used in that way either. This is
not a time for passion or senti-
ment, or even for personal regard,
TO cut the principal figure in the
decision. The situation should be
viewed calmly, and the supreme
object of every republican should
be the good of the party for the
future-the good OF the party. be-
cause we believe that the best in
terests OF the state and the nation
are bound up inseparably with the
party's success. Ii must be evil
dent to everyone who views the
situation in this light that the en-
dorsement OF Mr.. Wolcott at this
time as the party candidate would
disrupt the newly-formed organi-
zation, and would ALLEVIATE a host
of voters who supported the party
in the late election. 1t would in
a sense be facing backward instead
of forward. IL would tend to de-
feat the party 10 the election of
1904, when we want Colorado to
be in the front rank OF republican
states. II would be seized upon
joyfully by the opposition as a
fulfillment OF all their prophecies
about the action OF the party as
soon as it should attain power in
the state. In short, it would be
unwise, and probably disastrous.
We regret very much that this
issue has been forced at this time.
No,,, tka, 80 k.c hoo, {nrraI -
is the part OF prudence and OF
honesty to meet 1t squarely and
tell the whole truth. Our respect
for Mr.. Wolcott as a statesman is
great; our admiration for his many
winning personal qualities is pro
found; our gratitude for what he
did for the party in ITS darkest
hour in this state is ineradicable;
but our loyalty to the party itself,
our regard for its future in this
state, our recognition of the neces-
sity that the control of the party
be kept in the hands OF the voters
of the party, all demand that at
this time we shall say plainly that
in our judgment 1t is not the part
of wisdom that Mr.. Wolcott should
be made the republican candidate
for the senate, nor reinstated in
his position OF absolute leadership
of the party ir this state.-Colo.

seemed premature and unneces-
sary TO discuss the question OF who
shall be the republican candidate
in this state for United States
senator. What we needed hrst
was a republican Legislature. which
would pass laws that were const-
tutional, and which would relieve
the state from some of the burdens
which had been thrust upon II by
a fusion legislature. We have got
republican house of representa-
tives, but we have also demo
cratic senate. and It is as yet un-
certain which party will have the
majority on Joint ballot next an
uary. Under those conditions,
and while it was understood that
the field was open, II was unneces-
sary TO discuss who should be the
caucus candidate OF the republi-
cans.
Within the last few days, how
ever. headquarters have been oPeE-
in Denver, and determined and
able effort is in progress to make
Mr.. Wolcott the candidate. Ii is
necessary, therefore, to meet tha,
issue sooner than otherwise II
would be, and we propose to meet
it now, and meet it squarely.
In our opinion, it would be un-
wise for the republican legislators
to present Mr. Wolcott as their
candidate for the senate.
We yield to nobody in our ad-
miration for the talents OF the
brilliant x-Senator. He occupied
a position among the leaders OF
the party at Washington which no
other man we could send could
occupy for many years to come.
He welded an influence in the
senate such as no other man we
could send would WELD for long
time. From partisan point of
view, we must recognize that 1t
was due to him and to his action
in 1896 that we had any organiza-
ton at all in that year. Those of
us who voted for Mckinley then
feel a gratitude to him which years
can never take away, and have for
him a personal regard which moth
ing can ever shake. II the repub-
licans had succeeded in this state
in 1000, Mr.. Wolcott would have
been the logical and inevitable
candidate for the senate, and we
should all have joined in his sup
port. This much it is due to him,
and to ourselves, that we should
say.
The situation at the present
time is totally different from the
situation two years ago. 1t was
demonstrated at that time that the
republican party in this state
could not win without the support
of many voters who would not
work with us so long as Mr.. VOL
colt was the dictator of the party
in this state. II became evident
that there must be complete or
ganizatIon, that the rank and file
of the party must be permitted to
take charge Of its affairs and make
its nominations and control its
destinies. The campaign this year
was run on that basis. Mr.. VOL
cott wisely and patriotically kept
out of the contest. The choice of
the party was absolutely untram-
meled, the platform was made abb
solutely without dictation or even
advice from him. The campaign
was conducted without his assist
ance, and with the tacit under
standing that he was out Of the
race, and that this was IN no sense
