Senator elect Teller will go to Wash

ognized the democratic senate. the

and peace reigns in Denver. Wolcott

election and says he will make no at

together in joint session. Goudy and
other candidates of the United States
senate will withdraw in due time.
Both the Wolcott and the anti-Wolcott
leaders are unanimous in the idea
| that it is folly to attempt to elect a
republican senator. even with Wolcott
out of the way. The democratic ma
jority of two on joint ballot will
stand and no more seats i'll either
branch will be disturbed
Mcdonald and Dick. the expelled
instated, as such an action might
make contest. of the Teller election
possible.
The absence of harmony in the re-
publican ranks will prevent any
scheme to oust any more democrats.
Indication are that the house will
stand as at present: House republi-
cans. 40; democrats. 25 senate. re-
publicans 8 democrats 26. 1t is not
considered probable that Governor
Peabody will decline to sign Teller's
certificate. but if he should do so Mr..
Teller could go to Washington and
present his cases just the same. and
in the absence of opposition he could
be seated.
The chances are that the subject OF
pletely out of the legislatures mind
by the end of the week and that the
body will be down to the real hard
work of the as sembly. that Of attend
ing to the needs of the state govern
ment and institutions. The expense
of the session to date is $25.O00 and
not single bit of legislation has
been ACCOMPLISHED.
Some of the leaders of the antis are
| urging the republicans to get into
| line and try to elect a senator. but
they made little headway. The sew
enteen Wolcott men in the houes will
remain firm. They are few but it is
! better for them to remain firm and
not get into any deal with either the
democrats or ants. This morning
tion to expel seventeen democrats and
the ants voted it down. The VOL
colt republicans merely wanted to
place the antis on record. and the an
tbs were willing to be so placed.
The expected collapse of the Hag-
gott senate came at IL O'Clock when
the session of the house recognized a
message from the democratic senate.
Then Lieutenant Governor Haggott
and nine of his senate proceeded into
the senate chamber. President pro
tenn Adams surrendered the gavel to
the lieutenant governor and nine SEN
ators took their old seats The re-
constructed senate then took all ad-
journment nutil Thursday. The
other nine members of the rump SELL
ate who were merely contesting for
the seat, in the regular body gave up
the fight and returned to their homes.
All guards were removed at noon.
The certificate of election to Henry
M. Teller has not been presented to
Governor Peabody for his signature.
1t is to be specially engrossed on
sheet of parchment in ornate style be-
fore the signatures are asked for.
Though the governor has not declared
that he will sing it. there seems to be
no grounds for doubt that he will do
80. a; attorneys seem to agree that
Teller's right to it under all circuln-
stances is incontestible.
At meeting tonight of the Arapa-
hoe county republican committee reso-
lui5ons were adopted by vote of 1O6
to 10 approving the action of the re-
publican state central committee in
requesting the resignation Of Chair
man Farley and casting its lot with
the provisional committee placed i'll
