Colorado State Republican Tick
Elected Except Peabody.


Denver, Nov. 1.-THE News this
morning practically comedies the elec.
ton Of the entire Republican state
ticket with the exception OF Peabody
for governor, who Is evidently de-
feated by 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
4 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
ihbti uShioh
For Congressman Brooks ....... .2,976
For Congressman Bonynge. ......2 2.7S5
For Congressman Hogg .6,O26
The other Democratic state candi-
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 majorities, run
ming from 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 fioated 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 the
county under the direction OF ii. Brown
Cannon, formerly county commits
sioner of old Arapahoe county. The in
dependent Democrats and many Re
publicans consolidated in the late cleo
ton and ran an Independent local
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 Denvers
representation in the House.
So far as the senatorial candidates
from this county are concerned, they
are not floated with Arapahoe county
but with Adams county, and all OF
them are unquestionably safe, as Ad-
ans has gone Democratic by 300 to 40t
unless II be the Twenty-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 bt
Democratic in any event
The local county officers who were
| elected last spring. but had to run again
| this fall because of the possibility oi
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 .3l.2lt
Gird. Rep. .............. .32-
Alexander's plurality .........1, 1894
Tho vote on sheriff is as follows:
Armstrong. Dem. ................3O, ,sbl
I Nisbet, Rep. .................... .JV, III
Armstrong; plurality ........ 13s
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-larse
Mr.. Shafroth secured over 5000 plural
ity in this city on his great personal
strength. but Clay u. Whitford, who
ran against Mr.. Brooks In the First dis
trict, carried Denver by only s39, nc'
eording to the News figures. as fol
