The Populists were again in the
saddle in San Juan county Tuesday.
They emerged from their alleged
retirement and put up a hot fight all
along the line, hut they only sue
oeeded in capturing the least i'm
portant offices, after all.
The county commissioners can
vass the returns Saturday, the 10th.
The figures printed in THE INDEX
today are based on unofficial returns
from the various precincts, but the
official count may change them
slightly.
San Juan county voters elected a
composite ticket Of officers this
time, The fusion ticket supported
by the organizations of the Demo
cratic and Republican parties,
was successful in electing the pro-
bate clerk, probate judge, school
superintendent, surveyor, and one
commissioner, and according to the
unofficial returns received, of the
of the anti-fusion or Populist ticket
there were elected the sheriff, treas
urer and assessor. Two of the
commissioners are in doubt and so
close is the result that it may re-
quire the courts to determine who
is elected, particularly in view of
certain irregularities in the casting
and counting of the ballots in one
or more precincts.
On the Legislative ticket, c. E.
Mead received the highest vote of
any Of the candidates. Judge Gran
vile Pendleton made splendid
race. as the majority against him ia
the county was only a little over
100, while Rodey, the Republican
candidate for congress, was beaten
by 265. Pendleton's majority in
the district is estimated at about
500,
Mr.. Stafford is elected county
clerk over F. M. Pierce by major
ity of II. Considering the fact
that Mr.. Stafford received only 10
votes in Pennington precinct out of
a total registration of 200, his vic
tory was a wonderful one and dem
onstrates that San Juan county ap-
preciates faithful service.
To the Democrats and Republi-
cans throughout the county who
are manly and patriotic enough to
be one thing or the other, THE
INDEX extends warmest thanks on
behalf OF the candidates thereon
for the support given the fusion
county ticket. The followers of
the Populist or LADY ticket
doubtless voted as they thought
best. And this being a free coun-
try, each one is entitled to his own
free opinion. ~

DENVER. Nov. THE returns from
yesterdays election are slow coming ia.
hni salia.sni fot0rns aid careful esti-
mates have been received to show that
Bryan'a plurality will be from 10000 to
5000 and may reach 10000. The Re-
publican managers concede the legisla-
ture to the fusionists by a maiori of Sc
on joint ballot. Orman. Democrat, and
the whole fusion ticket will have about
25.OJO plurality. In Arapahoe county
Rzyan'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 conceded, but
with the several sspirants in the fusion
parties, it is impossible to predict with
any accuracy who his successor will be.

THE HORSE SHOW.
Previous Gaity of Dress Missing But
 Attendance still Large.

| New York, Nov. 23.--While there was l no decrease in point of attendance at | the horse show at Madison Square Gar den tonight, the gaiety of dress and costume which has illuminated the gar- den during the first three or four days of the show, was lacking. The crowd that did not hold arena boxes com meneed to arrive early and continued coming until late. The audience was the largest of any night yet, except
 Thursday night.
 The events of the evening were the judging of ladies' saddle horses, ladies' riding and the high jumping contest. Miss Marion Holloway of New Ro- chelle, on Woman-in-B Black, blk m, suc- ceeded in capturing the first event while Chappie, g, exhibited by N. K. Hayes of New York, proved the best of the high jumpers.
 The evenings performance opened with a parade of the prize winners. After the blue ribbon winners had pa- raded around the enclosure, receiving the plaudits of the vast crowd, the la dies, saddle horses and their riders were loudly applauded. Pairs of horses shown to emii-mail spiders on Stan- hope phaetons were next in order. Then followed the high jumping class, which closed the evenings performance.
