About IN) candidates have filed their petitions to be placed upon the official ballot. Of this number sixty-eight claim to be the regular nominees of their party.

WaltherY Ticket In Town of Lake Recog It was decided yesterday by the Republican executive committee to acknowledge the Walther ticket in the Town of Lake as the duly nominated candidates. There has been a bitter fight in the township. Devins and others attempted to run affairs in behalf of a set of candidates particu larly obnoxious to the better class of Repub licans of the Twenty-Ninth, Thirtieth, and Thirty-First- Wards.

It was discovered that Hogan and his crowd were playing into tbe bands of the Democrats led by Tom Gaban and backed by Election Commissioner Keenan, his brother-in-law. The gang took possession of the convention, whereupon the regular Republicans withdrew to Columbia Hall ana nominated a ticket headed by Walther for assessor. Both factions appeared yes-terdav before the Election Commissioners and the executive committee. The former body refused to act unti tbe eertincates of the conventions had been filed, but after hearing the evidence tbe executive committee decided jo favor of the WnltheriteJi It is possible that the trouble will cause a conflict between these bodies. The Re- Sublican executive committee claims juris-iction in the premises, but it is said the commissioner may recognize the Hogan convention.

At Republican headquarters it is said the Hogan people are in a combine with the Democrats to defeat Republican aldermen in the Thirtieth and Thirty-First Wards. The executive committee also considered the credentials of Mr. Aekerman and Dr. Sage for the alderman io nomination of the Twenty-Eighth Ward. Action was deferred until tomorrow, but as Aekerman has six of the ten delegates- he will probably be recognized.

Striking Miners Will Fire on the the Colorado Militia. CRIPPLE CREEK ARMED. Every Available Weapon Sscurei by the Sheriff Bull Mountain, Where the Camp Am, I a Natural Fortrts. CxrprLs Cbxxx, March 17. An anxious day ha followed a night of ex-, citement and adventure In tbe great gold mining district known tbe world over aa Cripple Creek.

The resistance offered the sheriff's posse by the miners who are trik- log for an eight-hour day and the same wages as were formerly paid for nine hours, and the call for the militia have given things a warlike aspect After driving from Bull Hill the six deputy sheriffs stationed there, one of whom was shot, but not seriously wounded, tbe miners would not allow any stranger ia that neighborhood daring tne night. Sheriff Bower immediately called out troop of Colorado Spring, and today he- made a requisition on the Governor for more troops, In accordance with which the First Regiment, of Denver, with the signal corps and the Chaffee Light Infantry and Company Second Regiment, of Pneblo, were ordered to proceed thither under command of Adjutant General Tarsney. These troops are expected to arrive ia camp tonight. The telegraph wires are still down between Cripple Creek and Bull Hill, but it is learned that tbe miners are defiant and threaten to resist the troops wnen they arrive. The sheriff is arming and equipping mea to supplement the trnnns Rn-w wMrwu, available in the town is readv for use, if necessary.

The streets are thronged with people, among whom are many idle and hungry The saloons and gambling places are' Jammed. In the moving masa the most jovial ones, who declare they are union miners, say they are not afraid of a handful of soldiers. Thev represent the faction which Is steadfast oa tne hills waiting developments. Another faction of miners, who are believed to be ia the majority, are willing to ro to work at nine hour, but say the protection afforded oy tne county la inadequate. If a clash of arms occurs the miner will have the advantage of position.

Ball mountain is one ol the largest of the clas- ter of hills that surround Cripple Creek. It is heavily timbered and crisscrossed by foot trails and wagoa roads from the vari ous mines. Between the town of Cripple Creek and the summit of Bull Mountain are a number of massive rounded hllla, almost destitute of timber, and among tlwse hills are -the mall mining camps built up about the big mines. It is in those camp that the battle will occur. Along the trails leading over tbe hills last night miners collected, shooting at passing pedestrians and people oa horsebacK.

Sheriff Bowers now has a farce of 250 deputies armed with repeating 100 additional men having arrived tonight from Colorado Springs. But he will not -attempt to arrest any of the men who participated in last night" disturbance at Ait-man until the militia arrive. The troops from Denver and Pueblo will not reach here until morning. At 10 o'clock they were at Woodland Park, and It is not -likely they will reach Midland before midnight. Tbey will have to march nine mile ovez1 the mountains.

If they cannot maintain order, then call upon me as Governor for aid. calling for troops must be the last resort. I will order the troop beld ia readiness immediately. ire me nere. To this Sheriff Bower immediately- re plied: I have Issued a can to the colonels of the Pir and Second Hegtmenta for troops to aid th civil autnortues enforcing taa laws of th btate, which.

I understand. I am authorised to do. The emergency ia gnat. If I have not this authority I call upon you to order said troops to Cripple Creek immediately, for there is at said camp a oody of men acting together, doing violence to persons and property, and by force and violence breaking and resisting th laws ot the State, and I must have them to aid in the suppression of riot. Governor Waite then dispatched the First Begiment of this city, 250 strong, and Company Second Begiment, of Pueblo, in aaaiuon to trcop or Colorado springs, to Cripple Creek.

force number about 350 men. Just before the departure of the troop Governor Waite received a message that Sheriff Bowers had been This was incorrect. Later, Judge Bngland, of Cripple Creek, wired Governor Waite as follows Situation unchanged: citizens about equally divided as to the aaoeeslty for troops; I do not believe they are needed. The Governor then telegraphed Adjutant General Tarsney to hold the troop at Colorado Springs until further orders. The story was circulated at the State house that the request for troops at Cripple Creek was really only a ruse to get them away from Denver.
