Colorado.

DENVER, COL, Nov. 7.-Governor
Waite conceded the defeat Of his party
early to-day.
ITO my mind" said he, sit proves con-
clusively that the money power has
dominated this slsCtion from beginning
to end and the democratic party is most
responsible from the fact that they
voted the republican ticket instead Of
their own. I made up my mind sew
eral years ago that there was only one
way to rescue the country from the CON.
ditions now existing and for which the
money power is responsible and that
was TO fight them tooth and nail. Con-
sequently / have never made any bones
Of my declaring my opinion of RdvoCat-
ing force and advocating that the con.
trolling power which they have exer-
Cised over all legislation be destroyed.
I believed that the influence OF Wall
street must be removed from congress.
1.-THE result in Colorado can be &C.
counted for from the fact that the
democrats have almost to q man voted
for the republican ticket. It proves
to me that there is absolutely no DIFF
ference in the financial policy Of the
democratic and republican parties.
Colorado democrats undoubtedly
voted the republican ticket on account
Of orders received from Washington. It
was the same in New York. While the
democrats there may not have received
explicit orders, there is no doubt but
that their conduct was influenced largely
by a secret understanding existing be
tween the leaders. The purpose was to
perpetuste and continue the gold stand
ard for which Wall street has been con-
tending 90 earnestly"
The governor said that woman's in
auenoes in the cities, whore it is great
est, was sxerted against him.
"The women" he paid, "must be edu-
Gated to think for themselves and not be
controlled by the money power, as the
men Rre."
At IL o'clock tonight returns from the
Second Colorado district gives Bell, Pop
ulist-demoCrst, 95 plurality over Bowen,
republican. Each side claims victory
and the official count will probably be
necessary to settle the question.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

The General Electric Company Loses
 . Case Which Involves Much in the
 Way of Monied Interests.
 Judge Townsend of the United States court rendered an important decision yes terday involving millions of dollars. It was the case of the General Electric com- pany of the United States against the Ja- maica and Brooklyn Railroad company. The decision was on the final hearing on a bill In equity alleging infringement of letters patent granted to Steven W. Field, nephew of c yrus w. Field, on July 16, 1889.
 The patent in question was assigned by the inventor to Steven Field, who, in turn, assigned 1t to the General Electric com psny, of which concern he is.a member. The question involved Is an intricate one. The General Electric company, ,or the plain tHs, claim patent rights on the combination of stationary dynamo generator, driven by suitable motor. . circuit of conduc- tors composed in part of an insulated or detached section of the line of rails of . railroad track, . wheeled vehicle movable upon or along said insulated seetien of tracks, an electric-magne.o motor mounted on said vehicle for propelling the same, and included in said circuit or conductor . circuit controlling device placed on said vehicle.
 The decision, which is long one, dis misses the bill. It finds that no patent rights are involved, inasmuch as the value of the invention was based in develop ment and not on principle. Had the plain- tiff won, the General Electric company would have controlled the entire electric railway business of the country. The de- fendant in the case Is really the Edison and Edison again wins another big case.

 Edwin J. Maher, twenty-two years of age, expired yesterday at 5:30 p. m. at the home of his parents, 23 Nash street, after lingering illness of two months. De- ceased was son of James Maher, engineer on the Shore Line railroad, and brother of Rev. Dr. William Maher of Milford, for msrly chancellor of the diocese of Hart ford.
 In January, when the health of the de- ceased commenced to be impaired, he went to South Carolina for improvement, but to no purpose, and early in April Dr. Maher went to South Carolina and found his brothers condition much worse. So 1t was decided to return to the parental roof, and after two months illness the deceased passed away yesterday, all that the best medical skill and loving care could do be- ing unavailing.
 Deceased was member of the firm of Fogarty & Maher, building contractors, up to the beginning of his illness. He was we'll known in the city. having large cir ole of friends who will greatly mourn his loss, and was at one time member of Hillhouse high school.
 In the death of Edwin Maher there has been lost to the public the services of a promising young business man, dutiful son and 8 kind brother and friend. The bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of many in their sad loss.

The band footed Marching Through Geor- gis," and the industrials draggled along, receiving little encouragement but attract ing much notice. As the crowd was ob- structinR the streets the police ordered them to go to Seaside park, where they spent weary night.
 The Boston contingent, under Captain Fitzgerald. left Aurora hall, this city, at about 9:45 o'clock and marched down Chapel street to the steamboat dock, where they embarked for New York. On the boat were also Swift, Adams and other leaders. Whether they will go by rail from New York depends on the success which they meet on their arrival. The their different plans, the Boston men hold ing that they are not Coxsyites, but are going to Washington with the petition whsoh embraces the "true socialistic pro. gram" No recruits were received in New Haven, but the leaders speak well of the treatment received here. The proceeds of the meeting in Aurora hall, amounting to $50, went to the Boston men, who paid the regular fare on the boat.
