4 Fight For New Judges.
Throughout the entire struggle for
the governorship the chief aim of both
Democrats and Republicans has been
10 secure the appointment of the two
new judges to the supreme court. The
question Of whether Peabody or Ad-
ANS sat in the governors office was
secondary matter. The WOlcOtt Re
publicans were insistent in their de-
nand that they be recognized in the
appointment Of the judges, and 1t was
finally agreed that the appointees
should be George w. Bailey of Fort
Collins and l. NJ Goddard of Denver
The Woicott men made a STRONG fight
for Judge NJ +. Lewis of Colorado
Springs. whom they preferred to God
dard, but they finally gave way.

When the Republican leaders called
upon Governor Peabody to inform him
OF the conclusions they had reached
and 10 tell him tnat his only nope of
second term lay through a contest in
the Republican legislature, they were
met by wrathfui and indignant man.
He refused TO accede to their wishes
and for four hours his friends labOred
with him. It was only the personal
pleadings Of some of his closest friends
that finally induced him to agree to the
plan proposed. and TO send the names
Of Bailey and Goddard to the senate
for confirmation.
