Presided Over by Lieut.. Gov. Haegott.
Republican. Met with Ridic-
ulous Failure,

Denver, Col, Jan. 27.-The regular
ity of the election of United States
Senator Teller at a joint session of
the democratic members of the two
houses of the general assembly is
practically conceded by the repubi
can senator's who Monday abandoned
the separate organization which they
maintained all last week and returned
to the senate chamber, where the
democratic majority has been in con-
tinuous session since last Monday.
Lieut.. Gov. Haggott shook hands
with the democratic president pro
tenn, Senator Adams, who had pre-
sided during his absence last week,
and resumed the chair. The senate
then adjourned until Thursday aft
ernoon. The republican officers of
the house of representatives have
recognized the democratic senate as
the regular organization by receiving
from its secretary the emergency APP
preparation bill which it passed last
week. Gov. Peabody said that he
knew no reason why he should not
sign a certificate of Senator Teller's
election, but he would wait for "ju-
dicial opinion" on the matter, for
which he had asked.
