Colorado State Republican Ticket
Elected Except Peabody.

Elected Except Peabody.
Denver, Nov. 1.-THE News this
morning practically comedies the cleo
ton Of the entire Republican state
ticket with the exception of Peabody
for governor. who is evidently de-
feated by a considerable plurality.
There seems to be. however. possible
chance that Mrs Grenfell, state super
intendent of public instruction. may
have been reelected. The News says:
While the returns on the vote for
state officers apart from governor are
far from complete, The News has com
piled tables, some of which are at
tached, that seem to show the election
of the entire Republican state ticket,
except Peabody, and of the three Re
publican congressman. A considerable
number of counties are estimated on
the best possible advice, and there is
q chance that Mrs. Grenfell may pull
through on the scratch vote in her
favor in some of the big farming coun-
ties where the unofficial reports did
not tabulate her vote.
As the figures stand in The News
! compilation majorities are as follows:
For Miss Craig. superintendent OF
instruction ................. 9T2
#
For Congressman Bonynge. .2,785
For Congressman Hogg ......... 6,O26
The other Democratic state candi.
I dates ran behind Mr.. Shafroth and all
of them are defeated.
The State Senate is Democratic by a
good majority. but the complexion OF
the House is in doubt. Contrary to the
general expectation, the Democratic
candidates for the Legislature in Den
yer polled very small ma1orities, run
ming from a few hundred upward. I'm
til the precise count has been made
both in Denver and the outside coun
ties in the float districts, the cleo
ton of the float representatives
Ii in doubt. This is true particularly
because Denver is foated for the
House with Arapahoe county. where
Henry Brady. formerly active in the
politics in this city. is in charge Of
the Republican machinery, and has
permitted no returns to be made public
| He is said to be operating in harmony
with the Democratic machine In thu
county under the direction Of II. Brown
Cannon, formerly county commits
sioner of old Arapahoe county. The In
! dependent Democrats and many lie
publicans consolidated in the late cleo
ton and ran an Independent Ioca
tickets against the tickets nominated
by Brady and Cannon, and the situa
ton in the county Is all tangled up
The doings of Mr.. Brady. therefore
have an important bearing on Denver
representation in the House.
So far as the senatorial candidate
| from this county are concerned. the.
| are not floated with Arapahoe county
but with Adams county. and all
them are unquestionably safe. as Al
ans has gone Democratic by 300 to 40
unless 1t be the Twenty-second district
| which includes q number OF outsid
counties.
The Official count undoubtedly VII
have to be awaited to clear up exactl
how the various float members of tn
House will stand. The Senate Will b
Democratic in any event.
/ The local county officers who wer
elected last spring, but had to run agar
| this fall because of the possibility o
doubt about the legality of the sprin
election, appear to be all elected b
safe pluralities. The vote on assesso
for instance, runs as follows:
Alexander, Dem. ................3 y
Grid, Rep. .29'3z
| Alexander's plurality ..........1 SO
The vote on sheriff is as follows:
Armstrong. Dem. $3.50
Nisbet, Rep. ....-............... 3o'ii
| Armstrong; plurality ~
Had Denver given the normal major
| ity for the Democrats. Bonynge woul
have been beaten In the First congress
sional district and Brooks might hav
been beaten for congressman t-largt
Mr.. Shafroth secured over 5000 plural
ity in this city on his great persona
strength. but Clay B.. Whitford, VIII
ran against Mr.. Brooks in the First dis
trict, carried Denver by only 839. &C
cording to the News figures, as fol
