Denver, Nov. 7.-This mornings Re-
publican says:
The entire Republican state ticket
was elected last Tuesday. John A.
Holmberg for auditor led the ticket In
the state by about 1000 votes. accord
Ing to the imperfect returns so far re-
ceived on the rest of the ticket, besides
governor and congressman. The ma
jority on the head of the ticket remains
In the neighborhood of 5000.
Mrs. Helen Grenfell led her ticket by
approximately 1000 votes. but is not
within walking distance of the prom
isad land. Mrs. Anna B. Brandt
of Teller county will secure her
certificate of election with 1000
votes to spare. Mrs. Grenfell had
the help of the Populist vote and she
also had some votes from the Repub-
licans on account Of her personal pop
ularity. The reports which formed the
forlorn hope OF the Democratic sheets
that Mrs. Grenfell had squeezed
through, were punctured by more de-
tailed reports. She gained in the
towns but lost in the country.
The Democrats have carried Arapa-
hoe county, on the face of the unoffi-
cial returns, by a plurality somewhere
between $500 and 1000. The former
figure is given at the Republican coun-
ty headquarters after very careful
compilation of the returns, and the lat
ter figure is the Democratic claim.
The actual result is somewhere be-
tween these two.
F. E. Brooks and H. NJ. Hogg are
certainly elected to Congress. John
F. Shafroth appears on the unomclal
returns to have a plurality OF some
thing like 800. Mr.. Bonynge yesterday
put an expert accountant to work TO
add up the returns from Arapahoe
county. He telegraphed to the county
clerk of each of the other counties In
the district for the official hgures.
With these, and with reliable figures
and estimates from counties where the
clerks did not respond, Mr.. Bonynge
found that outside OF Arapahoe county
he had a plurality of 2.54O. Ihe
Shafroth plurality in Arapahoe
county he figures at 1852, SO
that Mr.. Shafroths net plurality
will be only about 500. 1t may be SAID
that Mr.. Bonynge's figures on the
county agree with those of the coun-
ty committee, though computed sep
arately.
Twelve of the eighteen senators have
been elected by the Republicans, anu
there is one Republican hold-over, SO
that after the numDeT oi the Seha,
has been reduced to fit the consutu-
tion. by one means or another, there
will be on a joint ballot Republican
majority of at least ten and perhaps OF
thirteen members. A report has been
circulated that Representatives. Eject
Garcia and Riley from the southern
part of the state had agreed to vote lor
Teller, but Senator w. H. Adams. VINO
comes from the same section and Is
Democrat, said yesterday that he had
never heard of any such promise.
The only way the Democracy may
senator by the Republicans is by hay
ing the Democratic Senate refuse TO
20 into Joint session. This was the
reason why such interest was shown In
the possibility that Thomas Anhear
had been elected lieutenant governor.
With a Democrat presiding over
Democratic Senate, all kinds OF delays
| could be caused.

Professors In Meeting.

While their young charges are having
a good time in these Christmas holidays
the college professors instead of resting
are kept pretty busy attending the meet
ings of the various learned societies
These formerly met in the summer as
the Pathological and Oriental societies
still do, but the custom Of holding winter
t. New Years seems to be spreading
hi, year almost all the meetings are
held in Eastern cites. Here in New
York we have the Association &C Ameri-
can Universities. discussing general
problems of university management, and
the Mathematical association, which is
n pretty regular visitor. At Princeton,
the Archaeological Institute Of America
meets. Philadelphia is entertaining the
Economical and the Historical associa-
tons, Baltimore the Modern Language
men and the Dialect society and Wash
lngton the American Association fer the
Advancement Of Science with its many
subdivisions and twenty other societies
Of philosophers, botanists, nat rraists,
chemists Psychologists, astronomers and
other scientific men. There are other
meetings going on besides.
Officially, the purpose Of these meet
ings is to listen to learned papers by the
members Of the various societies and 10
discuss them. but what influence the
papers have comes usually later when
they are published and can be read and
digested at leisure The chief good done
is after all the bringing together Of men
from all parts Of the country who are
interested in the same subjects and who
now have opportunity Of seeing each
other and Of making personal aoquaint-
ance. Judging from the number of
papers announced for each Of the meet
ings the annual Christmas output OF
American scholarship is surprisingly
large.

interest in the issue IL raised there against
