that the members OF the legislature
had been bought and that they were
going TO commit a grave crime.
This kept the radical element stir
red up and 1t has been common talk
that large numbers of these people
would go to the capitol, "as iDdivid-
uals," on the day Of election and
make demonstration. Yesterday
this movement received strong en-
couragement from the Patterson pa
pers by the publication Of an absurd
bling great crowds from the atate 10
intimidate legislators" This was fol
lowed by articles the purpore of which
was to put enthusiasm into the lag
ging members OF the army of intimida-
tIon which Governor Adams has asked
to stay away.
The excuse for the publication Of
this absurd falsehood was the appear
ance around the hotels of a number
of Republican leaders from over the
state. These visItors are mostly
state con mitteemen, ard ether coun-
ty leaders who nave come to see the
close OF the contest and to confer with
state leaders ct headqrsIier-. 1t Is
possible a meeting OF the state com
mittee Will be held be.Jre they re-
turn.
Owing to the incendiary character
of the matter being published by the
Patterson papers there is now no
doubt that a large number of Mr..
Adams partisans will assemble at the
capitol grounds and endeavor to enter
the capitol and overawe the legisla-
tors. The whole trend of the Fatter-
son appeals Is that great revolutions
airy crime is to be committed and that
1t snould be frustrated by 1.-The peo
pie"
In an interview in the papers Gov
ernor Adams says ne will have no mil
itia around the building at the time
the crowds are expected, and adds
that he may have some OF the Denver
policemen there to maintain order
enough to candle large crowd.
| This is thought by the more radical
partisans OF Governor Peabody to
bode trouble for the reason that the
| Denver police are under the command
of Frank Adams, the governors broth
er. Inasmuch as 1t was the Denver
police machine which engineered the
frauds. and committed many of them
that placed Alva where he Is now
these Republicans feel that the police
will be in full sympathy with the moi
and tnat they cannot be depended up
on to preserve order. The reputation
of the police machine is such that few
intentions under the circumstances.
| Under the law the police have nc
right in the state house unless invited
by the legislature. The state house
being in command of the secretary ol
state during sessions. subject to the
orders OF the assembly, the doors will
undoubtedly be closed to everybody
who is not provided with ticket.
Under these circumstances, II the
contest is closed, and the decision
rendered. without disorder and vio
lence, 1t will only be because the read
ers of the Patterson papers are toe
sensible to be melted to violence by
them.

the proper majority was on election
day; but II has been proved so con
cluslvely that the election In half Of
Denver was so tainted that the pre-
cincts will have TO be thrown out.
The principle was clearly stated by
the court years ago In the Londoner
case. as follows:
"The existence Of the power to dis
card the entire return Is public
necessity. Where It is clearly estab-
iished that frauds subversive OF the
purity OF the ballot box, tending to
nuliify the popular will. have been
perpetrated by the election officers,
! or have been perpetrated by others
with their knowledge. connivance
| and consent. and the extent OF such
| frauds cannot be disclosed with reas-
enable certainty, the Integrity OF the
! entire return is destroyed. and IT
should be rejected"
This principle was applied in the
: Bonynge-Shaffrotn case. and Mr..
ShaGro,h himself publicly proclaimed
| It's necessity, and retired from con
test which he saw he must lose.
The Republican case was strength
ened by another confession in the
West Side court yesterday. One
Walsh. who served as Democratic
clerk in Ward 4, Precinct 8. owned
that he had certified to a return which
contained a hundred votes that never
were cast for Adams. He went to
the polls to vote with no expectation
OF being employed. Eugene Cum
mings told him what to do. and he
supposed It was his duty to do as he
was told. The poll book had been
written up beforehand and Shen a
voter came in, tle name was Just
checked on. Cummings told him II
was quite customary to write the
whole registration list in the poll
book-''it saves time,' ne said
which was undoubtedly true. What
with the poll books written up before
|
Sunday and Monday there was loi
OF time saving" work done in Den
yer just before election day.

and on state institutions are on a triu

there is no quorum for either house

definite time has been sat for its
conclusion. but each side may prob
ably get three days: so that by the
Sth of March the whole matter should
be settled.
| The contest mas taken a long time
has cost many of the members much
work, has cost the sta,e $4,000 or
more for printing the evidence, and
has cost somebody great deal OF
money for attorneys; but If by means
of this long and systematic and or
| derly procedure, combined with the
| action of the supreme court and the
district court, an end is put to false
| registration, repeating. sMfflng, and
all the various other forms Of election
| fraud which have so ling prevailed In
Denver, II will be worth to the whole
state more than it mas cost. The
same result might have been accom-
plished, perhaps. by taking vote at
the beginning OF the session. but II
t'hat had been done, there would have
