Denver, Jan. 19. Although fwo or
ganized senates were in session in the
mate chamber and two score or more
police officers and deputy sheriffs oc
cupied the lobbies and cloak rooms, a
peac?ful air prevailed at midnight an
there seemed no likelihood of a clash
for the present. There are rumor
that the governor ha been asked to
end troops to the state house but they
could not be confirmed.
Excitement began in the house of
representatives this morning, when the
election committee, to which had been
referred the contests involving teat of
all the 33 democrats who held certifl
cate of election. There were two re
ports. One signed by the four repub
lican members of the committee favor
ed unseating six democrats, another
signed by four democratic member of
the committee was against unseating
any. The first named report wa
adopted "nd according to it provisions
four democrats representing districts
of which Arapahoe county form a
part, were unseated and the republican
contestant were given their place
Two reprsjeatatives from La Anlma
county were also unseated and repub
licans were seated. Thl gave the re
publicans a majority of two in Joint
ballot. The house then adjourned un
til tomorrow.
In the senate elections a committee
presented a report on the same contests
Lieutenant-Governor refused to submit
motion for its adoption. The sec
retary of the senate was then called
upon to put the question. During the
confusion the minority report by the
republican members election committee
was submitted and declared adopted by
the lieutenant-governor.
This report unseated eight democrats)
giving their places to republican con
testants. The lieutenant-governor n-
fused to recognize an anti-democratic
senator. Adam, president pro. tern
took his place at the side of the lieu
tenant governor and democratic mem
ber proceeded with the business. Two
republican senators were displaced by
democrats. Thl served to offset the
action of the house by restoring a dem
ocratic majority on joint ballot.
It us then given out that no further
action would be taken by democratic
senators at preant, a it was decided
by both side to remain hi the senate
chamber during the night.
