 Cheers greeted the announcement Of the result of the election, when made by Lieutenant Governor Haggott. The republican candidates for all the oth- CT state offices were declared elected. Under the terms of the agreement reached today by the various factions in the legislature, no notice of the contest can be filed by Governor Pea body until after the inauguration of MT. Adams. which is set for 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. It has not yet been definitely decided by Governor Pea body whether or not he will make a contest.
 When the legislature convened this morning Representative William Grif- fifth of Cripple Creek asked for a re- cess until f o'clock in the afternoon. giving as his reason for the request ''the white winged dove of peace is about to light on the dome of the cap itOl." It was nine long hours before the dove came Cown and many and devious had been her flights IL was a day given over to secret caucus, to conferences, to proposition and coun- ter proposition. It was finally agreed at o'clock in the afternoon that the vote should be canvassed, that Ava Adams should be declared governor and that no contest should be made for any office until after his inaugu- ration at 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning.
 Throughout the entire struggle for the governOrship the chief aim of both democrats and republicans had been to secure the appointment of two new judges of the supreme court. The question whether Peabody or Adams sat in the governors chair was a sec ondarY matter. The WolcOtt repub- licans were insistent in their demands 1 that they be recognized in the appoint ment of judges and it was finally ! agreed that the appontees should be George w. Bailey of Fort Collins, and L. M. Goddard of Denver

Adams had agreed to name men who were agree able to the Wolcott republicans as well as the democrats. The Peabody men refused to give way until the su- preme court this afternoon refused to declare legal the proceedings of yes terday. It would not declare them it. legal simply declining to pass upon the matter at all. With the joint ses- sion not declared legal, all things that came from it were in the same posi- ton illegal and the Peabody men then agreed to compromise.
 It took but a short time to reach an agreement, both sides being fairly dis posed, and in conciliatory frame of mind.

At seven o'clock all things were set tied, even to the fact that Lieutenant Governor Haggott should preside over the joint session except while the canvass was in progress, when he would give way to Speaker Dickson.
