Washington letter.


EDgToR STATESMAN The election in Col
orado yesterday went republican by a small
majority, and the republican papers are in
tensely jubilaut The fscs Is that neither
Colorado nor West Virginia-the one with
fve electoral votes and the other with three
have received much consideration in the
October elections. the zeal and activity Of
both psrties being in Indiana aud Ohio. The
territory of Colorado WAS habitually repub-
licau from 1862 to 1872. with fuciuating
msjoEi'ies. 4 republican delegate to the
House Of Representatives was chosen FIVE
times eouseca,ively. Ia 1874. the tidal wave
swept away The usual majority and Thomas
NJ Peterson was elected by a democratic
majority of 2lG3. The republicans were split
into fac'ions that year aud paid the penalty
of division. All the federal Offices are of
course held by the republicans of the most
pronounced type, and the patronage which
always counts 50 largely in territory has Of
course been used to It's utmost extent The
largest total vote of Colorado only reaches
IL. 1908. AMI considerable part Of he popu-
lation consists Of Mexicaus v no can Be bought
aud sold like cattle on election days.
