dence that the legislature, in which
at tine outset on joint ballot there wiz
be sixty-six Republicans to thirt! .
three Democrats, will throw on &
enough Democratic precincts OF Der
yer to overcome Alya Adams 10,0UA
plurality tor governor and declart
Governor James r.. Peabody rs-
elected.
The Republican leaders justify such
action on the claim that in all Demo
cratic precincts frauds as eXtenslys
as those shown in five precincts whose
ballot boxes were opened in contemPt
proceedings before the supreme court
were perpetrated This is strenuousg
denied by the Democratic leaders, wha
assert that the ballot boxes opened in
court may have been stuffed since the
election in support of corporation
conspiracy TO steal the governorshiD
and senate and pack the supreme
court, which is to be increased front
three justices to seven on April n
next. On the day after election, ae'
cording TO the returns, the incoming
senate consisted of twenty-one Demo
Gratis and fourteen Republicans. Soon
thereafter Senator Buckley died, re-
ducing the number of Democrats
members TO twenty.
Governor Peabody has neglected tu
call special election to fill the va
cancy caused by Senator Buckley'S
death, although the constitution con.
tains mandatory provision for suclt
action Through subsequent decisions
of the supreme court and state boartl
OF canyassers the standing of the pai
ties in the senate has been changed
until it now consists of nineteen Ro
publicans and fifteen Democrats.

last senator to be unseated, Ii is said,
will be w III. Adams of Alamosa coun
ty, brother OF Governor-elect Adams.
