THE CONTEST SETTLED.

The gubernatorial contest WAS set
tied late yesterday afternoon by the
unseating Of Alva Adams and placing
Hon. James II. Peabody in the execu
tive chair.
After going over toe evidence sub
ml..ed it is difficult to see how the
members OF the Legislature could dc
otherwise. That frauds were commit.
ted on both sides will not be disputed
by The Herald, but those OF Republl
cans were small in comparison to the
repeating and disfranchisement of
honest voters in Denver by the Frank
Adams police machine, leaving the
question, possibly doubtful, but at the
same time in such shape that no Re
of Mr.. Adams. The result is les
son TO the corrupt element of Denver
that stealing elections will not be
longer tolerated in Colorado. To our
mind there is no question but that
one Speer is holding the otice OF ma
yor of Denver by fraudulent votes. l..
W. Springer naving received several
thousand majority of the honest votes
cast. The same attempt was made to
steal the governorship and as q result
there are some forty TO fifty serving
various sentences in the Denver Jail
and the state peniteDtiary, with oth-
ers to follow.
Owing to conflicting stories from
Denver, possibly all more or less bas-
ed on rumors, 1t is not possible at this
time to say II conditions were at
tached to the seating OF Mr.. Peabody.
II Is claimed that he is TO resign and
that Lieut. .-Governor Macdonald Will
conclude the term. Should this prove
true. the people OF The state can rest
assured of having man at the helm
who can be trusted to do mis- duty in
every way. fearlessly and conscien-
-iously. No one will question his elec-
lion for second place on the state
ticket and with vacancy in the gov
office there is nothing for him

The Herald is satisfied that Colo
ado is in for season OF peace and
progress under Mr Macdonald. If Mr..

THE IMMIGRATION WAVE.

II is tolerably certain that the i'm
migration OF the calendar year 1908
will reach the l.OOO.O0O mark. The
inflow in January and February OF
this year was not far from double
that of the same months in 1904. 1t
is improbable that the increase over
last year will continue in anything
IKE this proportion for the remaining
ten months, but the gain thus far is
sufficient to render probable total
inrush that will leave all the big rec
ords OF the past very far behind This,
too, in the face or laws and regula-
tons which deter much immigration
which otherwise we would have had.
and which have sent back many per.
sons VINO have come,
In the fiscal year 1882 the immigra-
ton numbered 1882. That was the
high-water mark for many years.
That record was broken in the fiscal
year 1908, when the inflow was $751;
O46. Thers was a slight falling on
in 1904, the inflow dropping to sl2,-
$40. In the closing months OF that
year the thrush increased again, and
the opening months of 1909 leave all
records far behind. There is rea-
sonable certainty that the fiscal year
1908 will beat 1902. There is no
room for doubt that the immigration
for the calendar year will be consid-
erably more than 100, 900 in excess OF
the twelve months ending with June
OF 1903.
The cOuntry's prosperity is the chief
reason for the neavy inflow of immi-
grafton al the present time. This
tendency is assisted by the war in
Asia and the possibility OF trouble In
Europe. Russians hold high place
numerically in the immigrants Of 1904
and 1903. No such exodus from the
cars empire nas ever taken place
before as has been under way Tor the
past twelve months. Most of 1t is TO
the United States. but some Of the
countries of Europe are getting many
Russian immigrants. Italy and Aus,
tria- Hungary are making large conri
buttons to the United States popula
ton in recent years. Possibly, too
the fear of anti-immigratiOn lesisla
tion of a more drastic character thar
has been enacted thus far is one oi

OF aliens at this time. There is ar

mat an agreement to this erect had

would be drawn up between the board
