A Boiled Down Statement of the
Election Middle.

The election situation IS about like this:
Wednesday the supreme court upheld
the decision Of the court Of appeals. rend-
cred two years ago. which held that the
work OF the state canvassing. board as
an executive body was not subject to re-
view by the court. Judge Adair Wilson.
one Of the most distinguished Democrats
in the state. wrote the opinion OF the court
OF appeals. ..the correctness OF which has
been approved by the supreme court. also
Democratic in personnel.
Tho eanvassing board met and adopted
the minority returns from Boulder and
Las Animas counties. thus seating the two
Republican contestants.
The senate now stands 70 Republicans
TO ID DEMOCRATS. Joint ballot, GO Re-
publioans. 55 Democrat.
Some Of the Republicans announce that
the senate. when II oonyenes. will throw
out the two men seated two years ago by
unseating Republicans then. and that tho
senate will also seat the Republican can
didates from Denver OF two years ago on
the strength OF Congressman Shaffoth's
confession Of tho fraud in Denver.
II tho above program Is carried out Il
will make change Of six and the two
houses on ioint ballot would DO 72 Repub-
lean and 22 Democrat.
Governor Adams appeared before tho
supreme court Wednesday and asked
tribunal to appoint a commission to open
every ballot box in Desver. The Repub-
lieans will aeeede to tho opening Of tho
ballot boxes. but want It performed thru
a referee instead OF 4 commission.
Tho friends OF Governor Peabody state
that Republican majority has boon So
cured that will now throw out enough
precincts where II is claimed fraud was
committed to insure tho reseating Of Gov.

made this tho banner year for bee. Gull
ture. The fruit crop has been excellent.
Small fruits sold during tho summer

Tho peach crop was unusually large and

so perfect. and for these two last named
products remunerativo prices were OBJ

corning the Southern people generally
incidental to the appointment of Gen
Stonewall Jackson's grandson. Judge
Richardson apparently voiced the sem
timents OF his colleagues when he said:
In view of what the President said
to US to-day we should proceed upon
the presumption that he is going to
give the South square deal"
The presentation of the name of
the grandson of Stonewall Jackson TO
the President was well timed, for the
Presidents military spirit was fully
aroused by a preceding incident. Just
prior to the arrival of Representative
Livingston the President had been pre-
sented with an old German napier,
coming down from the fifteenth cen-
fury. Representative Lawney of Min
nesota, on behalf Of one Of his German
constituents, delivered To the Presi-
dent a sword, of ancient design and
description, which, the donor said. had
been In the family OF Capt Magnus
of New York during the past four CEN
turtles. 1t was related as part of the
history Of the remarkable weapon that
II had figured in lis deadly cornbats.
A facetious member of Congress, who
happened to be present while the trans
fer of the rapier from Mr.. Tawney 20
the President was being made, sug-
gested: You better accept II, Mr..
President; you might need II 10 use
on one Of those Southern Governors =
The humor ot the remark was fully
appreciated by the general laughter
which followed.
