Court to throw out the entire vote Of three
precincts OF Ward and one precinct of Ward
{ at the late election, the ground that gross
frauds were committed in direct violation Of the
injunction served on the election officials. The
decision does not affect the vote for President
and Congressman, but may have an important
effect on the GovernOrship.
On the face Of the returns Alva Adams Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor. had plurality Of
about 11G00 but the Republican managers as
sert that when all the fraudulent votes are
eliminated Governor Peabody will have plu-
rality and will be seated
Judge Campbell concurred in the decision to-
day, but Judge Steel dissented. saying that only
the illegal votes which had been identified should
be rejected, and the legal votes should be
counted
Through the action of the court in excluding
five Denver precincts from the abstract of re-
turns to date, Republicans will secure solid
delegation in the legislature from this city and
the county of Denver. and will obtain control of
both branches of the legislature, which can

Irish societies in Philadelphia the Ancient Or
der OF Hibernians and the Clan-na- Gael and
his part in a bitter fight between those two
bodies over some property i'm Philadelphia is

recently visited this country that they spirited
him away.
