Colorado State Republican Ticket
Elected Except Peabody.

Denver. Nov. 1.-THE News this
morning practically comedies the elec-
tion 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, a possible
chance that Mrs. Grenfell, state super
inte1dent of public instruction, may
have been reelected. The News says:
While the returns on the vote fer
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
a 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 maiorities are as fellows:
For Miss Craig, superintendent of
instruction .-.............. VIZ
For Congressman Brooks .......2 ,9I6
For Congressman Bonynge. ......2. 2.1S5
For Congressman Hogg 6,O26
The other Democratic state candi-
dates ran behind Mr.. Shafroth and all
of them ara defeated.
The State Senate is Democratic by q
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 majorities, 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
is in doubt. This is true particularly
because Denver is f,oated for the
House with Arcpahoe 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 the
county under the direction of II. Brown
Cannon, formerly a county commits
sioner of old Arapahoe county. The in
dependent Democrats and many Re
publicans consolidated In the late cleo
tion and ran an independent local

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's
representation in the House.
So far as the senatorial candidates
| from this county are concerned. they
are not fioated with Arapahoe county
but with Adams county, and all oi
them are unquestionably safe. as Ad-
ans has gone Democratic by 300 to 4Ot
| unless it be the Tweuty-second district
which includes a number of outside
counties.
The official count undoubtedly will
have to be awaited to clear up exactly
how the various float members of the
House will stand. The Senate will be
Democratic in any event.
The local county officers who were
elected last spring. but had to run agair
this fall because of the possibility OF
doubt about the legality of the spring
election, appear to be all elected by
safe pluralities. The vote on assessor
for instance. runs as follows:
Alexander, Dem. ................3 81 ,21t
Gird, Rep. ~ ,32l
! Alexander's plurality ..........1 1894
The vote on sheriff is as follows:
Armstrong, Dem. .............3 go, ,851
Nisbet. Rep. ....................3 80. lis
Armstrong; plurality ...... 73s
Had Denver given the normal major
ity for the Democrats. Bonynge would
have been beaten in the First congress
sional district and Brooks might have
been beaten for congressman-at-lar
Mr.. Shafroth secured over 5000 plural
ity in this city on his great personal
strength, but Clay B. WhitfoEd, who
ran against Mr.. Brooks in the First dis
trict, carried Denver by only S39. ac-
cording to the News figures, as fol-
