- Edward Oliver Wolcott war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker, der den Bundesstaat Colorado im US-Senat vertrat. Als Junge zog Edward Wolcott mit seinen Eltern nach Ohio. Während des Sezessionskrieges diente er im 150. Freiwilligenregiment der Infanterie seines Staates. 1875 machte er seinen juristischen Abschluss in Harvard, woraufhin er als Anwalt zu praktizieren begann. Im Jahr 1879 ließ Wolcott sich in Denver nieder, wo er eine politische Laufbahn einschlug. Von 1879 bis 1882 gehörte er dem Senat von Colorado an, ehe er 1889 in den US-Senat gewählt wurde. Er verblieb nach einer Wiederwahl vom 4. März 1889 bis zum 3. März 1891 im Kongress; ein weiterer Versuch, im Amt bestätigt zu werden, schlug ebenso fehl wie zwei Anläufe zur Rückkehr in den Senat in den folgenden Jahren. Während seiner Zeit in Washington gehörte Wolcott zu den Fürsprechern einer Silberwährung in den Vereinigten Staaten. 1897 wurde er von US-Präsident William McKinley als Vorsitzender einer Kommission auf eine Europareise geschickt, um sich über den internationalen Bimetallismus zu informieren. Im Senat war Wolcott unter anderem Vorsitzender des Ausschusses für den öffentlichen Dienst. Nach seinem Ausscheiden aus dem Kongress arbeitete Edward Wolcott wieder als Anwalt in Colorado. Er starb während eines Urlaubs in Monaco. Nach einer Kremation wurde seine Asche in New York City beigesetzt.

In 1875, he graduated from Harvard Law School and moved to Colorado where he set up a law practice. In 1879, Wolcott moved to Denver, where he began his political career as a Colorado state senator (1879–1882). In 1889, he was chosen to represent Colorado in the U.S. Senate, as a member of the Republican Party. He was reelected in 1895, and was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1901, 1902 and 1903. While in Washington, D.C. , Wolcott was a leading advocate for the coinage of silver. In 1897, President McKinley named him chairman of the commission sent to Europe to report on international bimetallism. He was a popular host and guest in Washington society. He was chairman of the Committee on Civil Service (Fifty-first and Fifty-second Congresses), and Retrenchment Committee on Post Office and Post Roads (Fifty-fourth through Fifty-sixth Congresses). In 1901, Wolcott was denied renomination to the Senate, which ended his political career. He once again took up the practice of law in Colorado, and maintained that practice until his death (which happened while he was on vacation in Monte Carlo). Wolcott's remains were cremated, and the ashes were interred at Woodlawn Cemetery in New York City.
