WAITE'S TALE OF WOE
HE COMEDIES THE DEFEAT OF
HIS PARTY.
The Result Due to tho Inf1uenco of tho
Money Power-He Advocates n
Revolution, Peaceful or
Otherwise.

DENVER, Nov. 7.-Governor Waite con-
ceded the defeat OF his party early today.
ITO my mind" said he, "it proves con-
clusively thst the money power hss
dominated this election from beginning
to end, and the Democrats are most re-
sponsible, from the fact that they voted
the Republican ticket instead OF their
own. 1 made up my mind several years
ago that there was only one way to
rescue the country from the conditions
now existing, and for which the money
power is responsible, and that was to
fight them tooth and nail. Oonse-
quently have never made any bones OF
declaring my opinion of their course and
advocating that the controlling power
which they have exercised over all leg
islation be destroyed. | believed that
the influence OF Wall street must be re-
moved from congress.
''lhe result in Colorado can be &C.
counted for from the fact that the Demo-
Gratis have almost to O man voted for the
Republican ticket. 1t proves TO me that
there ia absolutely no difference in the
financial policy OF the Democratic and
Republican parties.
Colorado Democrats undoubtedly
voted the Republican ticket on account
of orders received from Washington. 1t
was the same in New York. While the
Democrats there may not have received
explicit orders. there is no doubt that
their conduct was influenced largely by
secret understanding existing between
the leaders. The purpose was to per-
petuate and continue the gold standard
for which Wall street has been contend
ing 90 earnestly."
When asked if he thought the Popu.
lists would ever again regain power, he
said: Il believe they will, bat it may
not be for some time. / do not know
exactly how it will be done. [ think we
will have to do it right over their heads !;
however, l advocate this being done in
q peaceable manner if possible q
peaceful revolution. OF course, believe
the ballot is the proper method to be
employed. But this has not proved
efficacious in this state"
He said that the women's influence
IN the cities where it is greatest was ex-
srted against him.
"The women" he said, "must be edu-
Gated to think for Themselves and not to
be controlled by the money power as
the men are."
Returns come in slowly. According
50 the latest estimate the Repub blican
state ticket has plurality Of 10000.
One hundred and forty OF l67 precincts
In Arapahoe county. including Denver,
give Mcintyre, Republican, 1887 ma
jority over Waite. ShatrOth, Reput-
lican, is elected to congress in the FIRST
district; probably Bowen, Republican,
in the Second. The Legislature is 81
Republicans, 43 Democrats and Popu-
lists. three doubtful.
PUEBLO. Colo. Nov. 7-Thomas NJ.
Bowen claims his election to congress as
a Republican from the Second Colorado
district by vote OF 7740 to 1857, a plu-
raliiy OF 1873 over John @. Bell, Populist-
Democratic candidate for re election,
who was sentt t. congress in 1892 by T.
557. This is based on figures from all
the counties OF the district received at
s 80 p. M, today, and gives Bell the
advantage of fully 1000 plurality in Pit
