COLORADO.
DENVER, Col, Nov. 1.-The cam
paign in this state has been almost de-
void of interest, so far as the national
tickets are concerned, as a fusion was
early effected between the Democrats,
Populists. Silver Republicans and Silver
party on presidential electors for Bryan
and Sewall and Congressman Bell and
Shafroth for reelection. This combi-
nation. it is conceded, will carry the
state by very large majority. The vote
this year is estimated at about 16O 900.
The supporters of Bryan and Sewall
claim for them majority of 10000 The
Mckinley Republicans promise to show
twice the strength credited to them by
their opponents.
State politics are very much mixed.
The Silver Republicans and Democrats
are fused, as are the Populists and Sill
yer party on state tickets.
Both combinations are claiming VIC
tory. All parties except the Mckinley
Republicans have declared for the re-
election of Senator Teller.
Ex-Governor Waite, middle of-the-
road Populist candidate for governor,
has made an active canvass but is not
expected to poll more than 10, 900 votes.

paign just closed has been remarka BILE
for the absence of anything like vigor.
The Republican candidate for governor
met with an accident early in his speak
ing tour which compelled his withdraw
al from active work. The Democratic
Populist candidate for governor went to
California to make speeches and Con-
gresham Hartman went east to make
silver speeches. He made few speech
es here and Col. Saunders, Senator
Carter and others made few speeches
for Mckinley. The Democrats and Pop-
ulists had several speakers out. but
either side.
The fusionists claim that Bryan will
get about two-thirds of the votes cast
in this state and the fusion state ticket
about the same.
The Mckinley Republicans claim that
| Mckinley will get 10000 out of $4,000
votes and that Botkin, Republican for
governor will get more.

BOISE. Idaho. Nov. 1.-The Peoples
Democratic party being fusion of Pop
ulists and Democrats and the Silver Re

be over $500. The Peoples Democratic

over 10000 votes on any office but the
governor, and claim that the Republic
ans will elect state officers excepting the
governor 1t is safe to predict that the
state will give Bryan 10000 majority and
that the People Democratic nominee
for governor will be elected.
The Republicans are confident of elect
ing the congressman.
