night from his STANDPOINT: No returns from

night, except from Grand county yesterday.
The Republicans claimed the county by for

ing ROult. Republican, for governor, major
tty, and Patterson, Democrat, for congress, u
majority. The De TlOcratic candidate for the
latnre was elected by 50 majority. So the
county may be considered a stand off so far
as the state ticket Is concerned. 1t will thus

close; that be result of the count wlIl not be
know Il until the san Juan counties are heard
from, and 1t is not likely that they will be
heard from before to morrow night, and per-
haps not then. Com paTisons have been mrde
by the Republicans betE cen this ana the ell, c.
tiOn of lo74, which are unfair, and designedly
calculated to mislead, and for the purpose of
correction, attention Is called to the follow
ing facts:
Ia January or February, 1874, while Chaff e,
Republican, was a delegate in congress, Ell
berG, Governor Hll,'s secretary, and others,
were removed, M'CoOk was appointed in
place of Elbsrt, but his confirm alton was Wig
OTOusy opp1sed by Chaftee. The contest be-
Teen the President and Chaffee lasted for
several months, resulting in tie confirmation
of NJ ook. This gave great offense to the
Chaffee faction, and after the arrival of
M'COok both parties Struggled for parts Su-
rremacY. The M'Cock faction was victorious
e Ia nominated Bromwe.l lor congress. Chat
ices friends then supported Patterson, to
which fact is due the large majority of two
years ago. The Rocky Mountain NelOS then re-
fused to support ON well, and really, though
not directly, supported Patterson, and Cbaf-
fees friends Teju ced over the election. For
the contest of lS70 and 1872 party lines wera
closely drawn, and tn result then showed
the relative Tength of bOh pastes; for in
1870 Chaffee, Republican, was elected by 1892
majority, and was rejected in 1872 by 1886
majority.

state as heretofore reported. a these dit
patches the aggregate of Republican majori-
ties for members of the legislature will exceed
two thousand. This is probably due TO the
fact that the legislature has the election of
three electoral votes of Colorado for President.
The legislature is two thirds Republican in
both branches.
