DENVER, Oct. 6, 1876. ;
Returns are just received from Ebert
county, which gives Republican ma

1874 Of 223.
Grand county gives Republican ma
jority Of 45, a Republican gain of 67.
Deducting from the total of Republi-
can majorities which the official figures
assure to be correct all that has been
claimed by the Democratic state COM
mittee, leaves the net Republican ma
jority in the state at 1900.
The legislature will certainly be two
thirds Republican, and probably nearer
three-fourths.
All special reports designed to con-
flute or throw discredit upon these dis
patches are sent out for mischievous

This wheat was taken from the bin
Just as it came from the threshing
machine. and it is as beautiful and
healthy looking as it can be. The
Michigan White kernel is not so
large or SO white as the Mammoth
Spring, but either variety is very
great improvement over anything
raised in this country. The proba-
bilities are that if our farmers would
get some such seed as this, and put it

have SO much complaint to make in
