Fractional representation in
the house will be as follows:
Rio Arriba and Sandoval, one;
Torrance, Guadalupe and Santa
Fe, one: Colfax, Union, Quay
and San Miguel, one; Lincoln,
Otero, one. This apportionment
will give the republicans an over
whelming majority in both
houses and on joint ballot, in the
first legislature; but so far as
can be learned its fairness has
not been questioned by the
democrats. Morning Journal.
The vote on direct legislation
in Colorado on last Tuesday was
two to one in favor of the mea
sure. Political bosses, who have
been in the saddle in the Centen
nial States, did everything in
their power to make the people
believe they did not need nor
want direct legislation, but evi
dently the people did some think-
ng for themselves on the sub
ject- The liquor interests were
lined up against the people, as
usual, and did heroic work for
their master, the bosses. The fol
lowing letter, sent out from Colo
rado and published in the Den
ver Times, proves where the li
quor interests stand as regards
the rights of the people:

Liquor Dealers' Association of
