Show The Denver frauds no doubt elected Mr. Adams Governor of Colorado. It Is a city whose election frauds are not only notorious, but are unparalleled in their boldness and extent. A majority of thousands is no guarantee that tho other man was not elected on the honest vote, ns Representative Shafroth saw, and admitted, though the official canvass can-vass gave him 41,111 votes to 3S,G18 for his opponent, J. W. Bonynge. But In spite of this apparent plurality of 27C6, the Congressional hearing on the contest con-test clearly showed that the apparent plurality was wholly fraudulent, and Mr. Shafroth, like the honest man which he is, gave up the seat to his opponent, confessing that he had no Just claim to It. We have not heard whether or not Governor Peabody Intends to contest the 'election, but there Is a very general feeling In Colorado, that he ought to do so, and that if he did he would win. |
