Denver, March 16.-James II. Pea body today won his contest for the of lice of governor from which he retired on Jan. 10, after serving a term of two years. but his victory was achiev- ed only after he had given his pledge to resign and surrender the chair to Lieutenant Governor Jesse r. McDon- ald
 The vote in joint convention of the general assembly by which Governor Alva Adams was busted and James H. Peabody installed was 5 to fl. Ten republicans voted with the democratic members for Adams. This was more in the nature of a party than a personal triumph, for Peabody and Mcdonald are republicans and Adams is a demo- crat Although the republican major ity on joint ballot is 8, the member ship Of the legislature being 66 re- pubiicans ard 31 democrats, it had been found impossible to gain for Pea body enough republican votes to rein state him as governor for the remaind- CT of the biennial term ending in Jan Uary, 1907. Twenty-two republicans, members of the general assembly ac- cording to general report. refused to be bound by the action in caucus on the contest and entered into a compact not to vote for Peabody. A majority of them, however, were in favor of seat ing the lieutenant governor in the gov ernOr'S chair if means could be found to do so legally.

Governor Peabodys resignation, it was said will be placed in the hands of w. $. BoyntOn and will be filed by him with the secretary of state to- morrow.
