COVERNORSHIP
YET IN DOUBT
Colorado Republican Man
ayers Confident That Pea
body Will Retain Office
BIG FRAUDS ALLEGED
Chairman Farley Claims
That $4,000 Illegal Ballots
Were Cast for Adams

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 1.-THE Of
fetal canvass of the votes cast last
Tuesday is in progress and has been
completed in but a few counties. Re-
vision of the unofficial returns leaves
Alva Adams majority over Governor
James H. Peabody not less than
10000.
I'VE consider Governor Peabody's
threat to contest the election q mere
bluff said Democratic Chairman
Milton Smith to-day, but we are
watching everything. 1 estimate that
Adams plurality will be 1900. Our
returns show that he carried Denver
by 500 and the rest of the State by
as much more. The official count in
the counties where it has been COM
pleted gives Adams a gain. If this
gain continues as the official count in
the rest of the counties takes place
Adams will have a plurality of
II, 900"
Chairman D. B. Farley of the Re-
publican State Central Committee said
to-day: Il estimate that when our re-
turns are all in Governor Peabody Will
be but a trifie over 500 behind. He
has been showing wonderful strength
III the past few days and has cut down
the majority against him greatly. We
are satisfied that he was the victim
Of a conspiracy and intend contestlng
every ground. We have positive evil
dence that the fraudulent votes
throughout the State will run as high
as 5000. We intend having all the
fraudulent votes thrown out and this
will show Peabody has been elected
by large majority"
Both parties are collecting evidence
of election frauds. 1t is proposed by
the Democrats to summon grand
juries in Denver and Pueblo to inves-
tigate.

A Ben Franklin Story.

They told the good man the subject of their conversa- tion and the abbe immediately denied that there were any errors in his history.
 His attention was called to the story of certain Polly Baker and an eloquent address which the abbe credited her with making before a Massachusetts court. The abbe insisted that 1t was a true story, but admitted that he could not re- member his authority for 1t. Dr. Frank lin was shaking with laughter during the protestations of the learned Frenchman.
 At last he said: 'I will tell you, abbe. the origin of that story.
