| election are slowly coming in, but Sufh-
| cient returns and careful estimates have
been received to show that Bryan's plu-
rality will be from 10000 to $4,000, and may
| reach 100000 The republican managers
| concede the legislature to the fusionists
! by majority Of 56 on joint ballot. Or
| man (dem) and the whole fusion ticket
| will have about $4,000 plurality. In Ara
| pahoe county Bryan's plurality will be
| about $500; though this will considerably
exceed the plurality given the state and
! county tickets. The defeat of Senator
! WolcOtt for the senate is generally con-
| ceded but with several aspirants in the
| fusion parties, it is impossible to predict
with any accurancy who his successor
will be.

| committee claims 40 members Of the legis
| lature, a majority Of ten on joint ballot,
but there is much uncertainty yet on this
