NOT IN SYMPATHY WITH WOLCOTT
Other Western Senators Can't Indorse His Views.
Denver, April 30.—A special to the Times from Washington says: The Colorado senators have been the center of attraction here for the past two days. Senator Wolcott on account of his letter Tuesday, and Senator Teller because of his speech yesterday. Senator Dubois said: Wolcott's letter will not find a cordial response in the minds of the great majority of our western people. We believe our interests and the interests of the country lie in direction of the free coinage of silver, and I, for one, desire to get where that sentiment finds its freest expression.
"We never counted Wolcott as among us," said Senator Stewart of Nevada, "so his letter is really not much of a surprise."
