RESULT IN COLORADO.
Democrats Win Decisive Victory in
Arapahoe County.

DENVER. Nov. 7.-To-day's election
has resulted in victory for the Demo-
cratic ticket in this (Arapahoe) county
by plurality of from 5000 to 5000, and
possibly n clear majority. The Silver Re
publican vote will not reach 5000. out of
total Of $1,000 votes cast in the county.
The result is largely due to the popularity
OF the proposition to issue bonds of the
city Of Denver for the construction of a
municipal water plant. which was advo-
the other parties. The proposition carried
by a large majority. The women were
very active during the day we'll as dur

JACKSON, Miss, Nov. 7.-Scattering re-
turns received from representative sec

vote in the Mississippi election. The en-
tire Democratic State ticket is elected by
a majority conservatively estimated at
$4,000. The official count will not greatly

shows a decided falling off, which will
probably amount to 30 per cent Not over
