Waite, Campbell a plurality Of 13,3GS
over Mills, McGaffey plurality Of 49,
36S over McClees and Shafroth n plu-
rality of 12,24S over Pence. Waite ran
1,6OO to 1,SOO behind the remainder Of
the state ticket, while Pence ran over
1000 ahead of it. The returns from
outside this county are still very COM
plete, but show the defeat of the state
ticket by 5000 or 10000. Congress
man Bell is probably elected by an ex-

question of hundreds.
1.-THE indications are that the senate
will consist of fifteen Republicans and
twenty PopuliStS and Democrats. In
the house the election of thirty-two Re
publicans and twenty-four Populists

and McIntire reached this county with
a plurality of 2,259. 1t was great
victory all along the line.
1.-THE Tenth General Assembly will
be Republican by n handsome majori-

will give the Republicans a majority
Of from ten to sixteen votes.
1.-THE Populsts have concentrated
their efforts on the legislature as they
have lost everything else, but at a late
hour last night they had not much
hope left. Governor Waite had given
up the fight, but Chairman Clark Of
the Populist state committee was
clinging to Weld county and one or
