DENVER, Col., Nov. 1.-The campaign
in this state has been almost devoid of
interest so far as the national tickets
are concerned, as a fusion was early
effected between the Democrats, Popu-
lists, Silver Republicans and Silver
party on presidential electors pledged
to Bryan and Sewall, and on congress-
men Shafroth and Bell for re-election.
This combination, it is conceded, will
carry the state by a very large major-
ity. The vote this year is estimated
at about 160,000. The supporters of
Bryan and Sewall claim for them a ma-
jority of 100,000. The McKinley Repub-
licans promise to show twice the
strength credited to them by their op-
ponents. All parties, except the Mc-
Kinley, have declared for the re-elec-
tion of Senator Teller.
Ex-Gov. Waite, middle-of-the-road
Populist candidate for governor, has
made an active canvass, but is not ex-
pected to poll more than 10,000 votes.
