greeted the decision that brought to

Peabody May Not Contest.
Under the terms of the compromise
agreement reached by the various fac
tons in the legislature earlier in the
day, Gov. Peabody is to file no notice
of contest with the legislature until
after Mr.. Adams is inaugurated. There
is some doubt, indeed, whether Gov.
Peabody will undertake a contest. 1t
was day given over to secret eau
cuses, to conferences, to proposition
and counter-proposition It finally was
agreed at five O'Clock that the vote
should be canvassed, that Alva Adams
should be declared governor, and that
no contest should be made for any
Office until after his Inauguration al
ten o'clock Tuesday morning.
Throughout the entire struggle fol
the goyernorship the chief aim of both
democrats and republicans las beer
to secure the appointment of two new
| judges to the supreme court. The
| question of whether Peabody o.
Adams sat in the governors chair was
a secondary matter. The Wolcott re
publicans were insistent in their de-
mand that they be recognized in thu
| appointment of the judges, and it was
finally agreed that the appointee.
should be George w. Bailey of For
Collins and L. nj. Goddard of Denver
