| Election Notes:
- The published data on this election (for all statewide offices) is an absolute mess. The 1901 Legislative Manual only gives the county figures for Whipple, Price, and Kratzer, with the rest included under "Scattering". No totals are given; the statewide totals for all candidates were reported in various newspapers in January 1897, such as the 1/12/1897 Rocky Mountain News (of Denver). None of the county figures listed in the 1901 Legislative Manual match the totals as canvassed by the General Assembly. The original manuscript returns would be needed to fully reconcile the figures. Some of the minor candidates' figures can be found in newspapers from November 1896.
