Plana Formulated Which, if Carried Out, Will Result in the Defeat of Adams and the Selection of Peabody to the Governorship. According to advices from Denver,. U the Fifteenth general assembly of; Colorado, which is to meet on Wednesday, January 4, shall effectuate the plans formulated by the managers of: the Republican post election campaign,. Governor James H. Peabody may serve as chief executive of Colorado-fotwo years more, despite the fact that Alva Adams still has nearly 10,000' plurality since the votes of five Den- ver precincts were thrown out bodily by order of the supreme court in consequence of frauds exposed 'in contempt proceedings against election of- r x . ficials. There will be a Republican majority ef thirty or more in the general assembly which will canvass the vote for state offices. It is proposed to have the general assembly appoint a special contest committee of nine to twelve members to which will be submitted the evidence of wholesale election frauds in Denver and possibly some other counties which the Republican committees have been collecting ever since the election. Tbe Republican managers maintain that with the fraudulent vote of Denver eliminated, Governor Peabody will have at least 7,000 plurality in this eounty and 2,000 in the state. These politicians do not intend that the legal votes shall be 6lfted from the Illegal and then counted or that tbe legislature shall reject the entire vote of Denver county, because to do this would not accomplish their purpose to reseat Governor Peabody, but they propose that about 100 Democratic precincts shall be thrown out on the ground of alleged frauds and that the vote of the Republican precincts shall be counted. They assert that the supreme court has established a precedent for such a procedure. Tbe radical programme is opposed by some conservative Republican leaders, Including Judge N. Walter Dixon of Pueblo, and Dr. John Grass of Trinidad, and until the legislature meets and takes action it cannot be known certainly whether Peabody or Adams will be governor for the next two years. The Democratic leaders are preparing to contest vlgorotiHly the attempt to reseat Peabody. mass meetings are to be held In Denver. Pueblo and other cities to protest against the line of action mapped out for the legislature by tbe Republican leaders. BOLD ATTACK BY JAPANESE.
