COLORADO.
DENVER, Nov. 6.-Considerable ex-
element prevails tonight as a result of
the close election FOR county officers.
The Republican party lost the offices OF
Assessor and Treasurer. and late returns
indicate that the office of County Clerk
Will also 60 to the Fusion candidate by
less than 100 votes. Rumors of an at
tempt by Republicans to steal that office
by fraud are atloat. The Clerkship Is con-
sidered The important political office
OF the lot, AS the County Clerk has charge
OF the permanent registration books, and
the struggle over this position will prob
ably go TO the courts for settlement.
UTAH.
SALT LAKE (Utah.), Nov. 6.-The
election returns came in very slowly to-
day. At s o'clock tonight, however,
there were only IA few far-away precincts
to hear from, and the result is an over
whelming victory tor the Republicans.
The Legislature will be: Senate, thirteen
Repu blicaus and live Democrats; House,
thirty-three Republicans and twelve
Democrats. giving the Republicans a ma
jority OF twenty nine on joint ballot. The
few returns yet To come in may slightly
change this, but not materially. The
Republicans elect their entire State
ticket by majOrlties ranging from about
800 TO 500. It Was thought early III the
day that Roberts DEM would be elected
10 Congress, but later returns gave it 10
Allen By about thousand majority. The
Democrats attribute their defeat 10 Nor
mon Churcn iDiiuence.
The vote on the adoption of the COnsti-
tuition 1t about 80. 600 for and ., 200 against.
The complexion of the Legislature, of
course, gives the Republicans two United
States Senators, and il is a safe prediction
that Utah's Senators will be George q.
Cannon and Colonel Isaac Trumbo.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
NEW sYORk, Nov. 6.-Ihe morning
papers comment editorialIy upon The re-
suit OF yesterdays election as follows:
The sun (Tammany Dem.j says: The
election reveals the Republican strength
in the nation compared with the Demo-
cratic strength as abnormally great. The
landslide OF 1894 is still sliding. New
York has been held Republican by ma
jority that must be classed with the ex-
traordinary majority of 1894. Tammany
has made New York City appear Demo-
cratic again"
The tribune (Rep.), says: "It is a
great victory, although another like that
of 1894 was not TO be expected. The Re-
publicans hold the battlefield, and if
pushed in some points have gained others
of larger importance. The general re-
suits Of the elections are SO strongly
favorable that the Republicans have rea-
son TO look forward with the utmost
hope"
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The leading
papers comment as follows this morning
on the result OF the elections:
The Recorder: an odern Democracy.
as represented by Grover Cleveland, re-
ceived Knockout blow in the tre-
mendous Republican victory Of Tues
DAY. First-Ihe democratic party in
every State whore elections were held in
dorsed the economic policy of the Ad-
ministration. 1t commended the deficit
producing tariff and the sale of bonds to
plug up the hole In the treasury,
thereby increasing the national
debt in time OF peace. That was
voted down. Second-It indorsed the
policy OF infamy' in Hawaii, the
surrender at Samoa, the cowardice at
Corlnto, the pOltroonery in Venezuela
No jingoisn' was the Iail-end of plank
il the Syracuse platform. All that was
voted down. Thlrd-Not single Demo-
cratic state Convention had the courage
TO mark its disapprOyal of the intrigue
and conspiracy for third term ior the
Presidency for the sage OF Buzzard's Bay
and the squirrels hoOter IN the WoodIey
woods. That aOject submi ission OF the
Democratic leaders TO the inordi mate am
bition OF the stuffed Prophet was voted
down. Fourth-No Democratic State
Convention had the courage to reaffirm
the chief Monroe doctrine of America
for Americans.' That base abandonment
OF what may be called one OF the unwrit-
ten articles OF the Constitution was voted
down. tifth-In a word, all that Cleve-
land stands Tor was stamped out at the
polls on tuesday. Stalwart American
ism IS on top"
The Sun: THE outcome of the State
election is to point and emphasize the
memorable lesson administered to Cleye-
landism in 1894. Then the American peo-
pie rebuked the Presidents disobedience
OF their wishes in the Hawaiian business
and the matter Of the protective tariff aud
the income tax, not only by returning an
oyerw helmlng majority of Republicans
to the House, Dut actually sending for the
hrst time from the slave States 20 the pop
ular branch of the Federal Legislature
more than twice as many Republicans as
there were Democrats elected from the for
mer States. "a the ordinary course of
things one such lesson would suffice, ana
fiat would be needed, and. receiving also
in the interval some proofs of Difference,
would have instinctiveIy inclined to
place the two great political parties more
nearly in equilibrium. That is what ob-
servers OF our history mean when they
say that in the United States the political
pendulum is apt TO swing forward and
back ward from year TO year. Under
normal circumstances we might have
witnessed an oscillation of that kind.
Mr.. Cleveland has learned nothing and
unlearned nothing. He has remained as
unalnerican as ever, though events have
taken such a turn in Venezuela and Cuba
az TO render the firm maintenance of our
national principles aud interests the para
mount and urgent duty of the Chief
Maglstrage. Mr.. Cleveland has shown
no perception OF those principles and no
determination to uphold those interests"
The Times: The TWO things that have
most confused and weakened the Demo
cratic party in public opinion have been
the favor and Tear shown toward the adj
vocates of free silver and the potent
though not uurebuked or unresisted in
fluence OF Gormanism. These may be
regarded as permanently disposed OF by
the elections in kentucky and Maryian
Through this riddance the party is i'm
meusely strengthened"
