THE GOOD NEWS CON-
FIRMED.
Three Electoral Votes Secured
for Hayes,
VICTORY! VICTORY!
The Eagle Scars to the Sun.

DENVER, October The following are
the Republican maiorities on the candi-
dates receiving the smallest vote on the
State ticket: Arapahoe county 33S,
Clear Greek county 40, Elbert county II,
EIpasco county 1924, Gilpin county 2S3,
Grand county 45, Larimer county so,
Park county 5J, Summit county IA, Weld
county 81, Boulder comfy 4Gl, Saquache
county 1873, Costilla county (estimated)
800, Conejos county 200, Hinsdale county
50, San Juan county so, Rio Grande
county so.
The following counties have given DEM
ocratic majorities: Bent 9OG, Douglas 81 +,
Fremont 81, Pueblo 1877, and Jefferson L.
And the Democrats claim majorities as
follows: Huerfano county 300, Lake
county 50, Laplatta county 100, and Los
Aminas county 500, but no official re-
turns have been received from these four
counties.
This embraces all the counties in the
State, and it will be seen from the figures
that, after allowing all that is claimed by
the Democrats in the four last mentioned
counties, the Republican majority will be
,S04 on the State ticket, and the official
returns already in show that they have
the Legislature in both branches by at
least two.thirds Of all the members.
DENVER, Coll, October 7.-The latest
returns from the counties not heretofore
officially reported only confirm the re.
suit in this State rs heretofore reported in
these dispatches. The aggregate Of Re-
publican majorities for members Of the
Legislature will exceed 1000. This
is probably due to the fact that
the Legislature has the selection OF
the three electoral votes Of Colorado for
President. The Legislature is two.thirds
Republican in both branches.
FROM A DEMOCRATIC STAND POINT.
DENVER, October 7.-The Hon. Hugh
Butler, Chairman OF the Democratic
State Committee, makes the following
report tonight from his standpoint: No
returns from our election has been receiv-
ed since last night, except from Grand
county yesterday. The Republicans
claimed the county by majority Of 40,
but the reliable returns just received
through Hon. W. S. Rockwell, OF George
town, give us the county by us majority.
The returns, though not official, have
been received from the following counties,
and the figures given below, according to
the most reliable advice are III the main
correct:
Los, ,Animos GOO, Democratic mojority,
Pueblo 2l6, Huerafano 225, Fremont IS,
Douglas IS, Bent 20G, Jefferson 81,
Grand 1OS, Correjos $50, total 1000.
Weed 800 majority, Laumer 60, Boulder
42s, Gnpin 2Gl, Clear Creek 81, Summit
ID, Ebert II, Elpaso 3l3, CASTILLO 10,
Park 10, Arapahoe $50; total 1856.
Deduct the Democratic majority of 1000
and we have 2SG.
The following counties are to be heard
from: Lake, HensduIc, LapAta, San
Juan and sagurichc, all of which are
claimed by us to be Democratic, except
Sagurich, and are estimated the proba-
BILE majoritics as follows: IIensdale,
Lapata and San Juan 500, Lake so, total
$50. ssgurichc Republican 5Oi net
Democracy majority 500, deduct the Re-
publican majority 97S, and we have 227,
being the probable Democratic majority.
Rio Grandc was heard from last evening,
giving Roult, Republican for Cover
nor majority, and Patterson, Demo-
crat for Congress l2 majority.
The Democratic candidate for the
legislature was elected by fifty Of
a majority, so the county may be consid-
cred stand oil, so far as the State ticket
is concerned.
It will be seen that the representative
maiorities are 80 close that the result OF
the count will not be known until the
San Juan counties are heard from, and
it is not likely that they will be heard
from before tomorrow evening. and per-
haps not then. 80
Comparisons have been made by the
Republicans between this and the election
Of 1874 which are unfair and dcsignedly
calculated to mislead, and for the pur.
pose Of correction attention is called to
tke following facts: In January or Feb.
ruary, 1874, while Chafe, Republican,
was a delegate in Congress, Elbert, Gov
ernor Halls Secretary, was removed. Nc.
Cook was appointed in place Of EIbert,
but the confirmation was vigorously OPP
posed by Challe. The contest between
the President and ChafFe lasted several
months, resulting in the confirmation Of
AIcCook. This gave great otienSe to the
Chafie faction, and after the arrival Of
McCook both parties struggled for
supremacy. The McCook faction was
victorious and nominated Bromwell for
Congress. ChatIe's friends then supported
Patterson, to which fact ia duo his large
majority OF two years ago. The Rocky
lloSLaIaiH Ners then refused 10 support
Bromwel! and really did not directly
support Patterson, and ChAlle's friends
reioiced over Pattcrson's election for the
contest Of 1870 and 1872. Party lines
we're closely drawn and the rrsult then
showed the relative strength Of both par
ties for 1870. ChaHe, Republican, was
elected by 1892 majority, and was re.
elected in 1872 by 1850 majority. !
