coed himself by the joint session OF the
Democratic senators and representa-
tlves. THE announcement was made in
signed statement In which Mr. VOL
colt charges certain Republican leaders
associated with the antl-Wolcott forces
in the Republican ranks with treach-
cry, deliberate, and continuous, al
though he dispOses OF others OF the
anti Wolcott crowd by characterizing
them as "dupesn of the main conspira-
tors, He refers to the refusal of the
anti Wolcott members of the house TO
unseat the Democratic members from
Arapahoe county, and calls It "a crime
against the Republican party and
against Justice" Mr.. Wolcott declared
that Lieut.-Goy Haggott when he
withdrew from the senate chamber ana
with less than dozen senators whose
seats were undlsputed organized an
other senate, was assured of support
by his associate in the state govern
ment, which support fell away from
him" however.
Continuing, Mr.. Wolcott says:
There were three joint sessions Of the
general assembly, AT the last one
81 Democrats voted for Teller.
No other joint session had been held
and no Republicans had voted In a
joint session. The election Of Mr.. Tel
Ter was tlnctured with fraud first in
the trickery of adjournment by the
Democrats of the house; second, In the
arbitrary and fraudulent expulsion of
two legally elected senators. There Is.
however, no other legally constituted
senate, as might have been but for
this conspiracy (referreng to the al
legged combination between Democrats
and anti-Wolcott Repubicans). and II
Is now too late to undo the wrong and
by unseating the fraudulently elected
members from Arapahoe county insure
the valid election Of Republican SEN
ator.
wicked and unforglyable as Is the
wrong done the Republican party YET
from the point of view of the highest
citizenship there is but one thing TO be
done, and that Is for the people to ac-
cept the deplorable situation and the
governor Of the state to issue a certii-
cate OF election to Mr.. Teller
Mr., Wolcott says that important
matters requiring legislative action viii
be coming up and will demand all the
time and attention Of the legislature
therefore the senatorial contest should
not be furthet continued.
Speaking of Mr. Teller, the ex-sena-
tor says that in no sense was he a
party to the frauds above referred to,
although he was the beneficiary. He
pays the following tribute to the sena-
tor-elect'
"He has served Colorado nearly a
generation at Washington and what
ever may be our regret that he no
longer marches in the ranks of the
party which has so highly honored
him. every citizen OF the state wishes
him health and strength and believes
that he Is single-minded In his deyo-
ton to the material interests of the
state"
Mr.. Wolcott concludes his statement
by saying that for himself he has not
the slightest sense Of personal disap- |
pointment nor does he cherish rancor |
toward anybody. He declares that he |
