The CoIorado Juugcsnlp.

DENVER, Nov. 4.--Reports received
from various parts of the state Indicate
that the election PASSED off quietly, and
in many places a mixed ticket was
chosen. The counting Of the ballots
will be very slow, and ON account OF the
great distance the precincts are apart it
viii be late before returns Of definite
character can be had. There is, how
ever, no doubt of the election Of Judge
Helm, rep, 10 the chief justiceship, and
the proposition to issue new bonded
indebtedness Of $500 900 to complete the
state building has been carried.

II Kansas.

Topeka, Kan. Nov. A. Nine district
judges were voted for in Kansas, and in
each of the eighteen counties the follow
ing officers: Treasurer, clerk, sheriff,
register of wills, surveyor, coroner and
one county commissioning. 1t will be a
difficult matter even after the returns
are in. .nnless the victory is sweeping, to
telltile result. or to tell whether the
Peoples party has gained or lost dur
ing the last year. The vote was very
light everywhere. Besides the light
vote, the only noticeable feature Of the
polling was the failure IF sub-Alliances
to vote in blocks, as they did last year,
when they swept the state.
