| Great Interest in Carlfsle's District
Both Parties Claiming the Success of
| Their Man.
Cov1NGToN, KY, Nov. 4.-The feeling
| about the congressional election is still the
principal topic of conversation, both parties
| claiming that their candidate is successful.
The workingmen think they have elected
Theobe and are much encouraged and some
think the returns are being held to give Car
Isle the necessary votes Carlisle's friends
claim the election by 200 majority and feel
confident that he is safe. Both parties are
claiming Carroll county. Whoever is elected
will be so by very small majority, which
both parties acknowledge, and up to noon to-
day the chances were slightly in favor of
Carlisle, but it will take the official count to
decide the result. The official count of the
vote in Campbell county will be made to-
morrow. The only returns that reached
Newport this morning were the following:
Gubser Mill district total of IS votes, go of
which were for Carlisle; the usual vote of
this district is 1885, Alexandria LAG, 1O8 of
which were for Carlisle. California polled
80 out of usual 100 votes Indian Spring
IS, and the usual vote is 100. The High
lands polled total of 30 votes out of 40.
Johns Hill district IS, out of a usual 1870.
Mr.. Theobe is by no means a man of incen-
diary ideas. On the contrary he is sober
workman, who has for years been employed
at the bench in the Mitchell Furniture COM
pany in Cincinnati He owns house and
lot and has no sympathy whatever with
anarchists or socialists.
CovINGToN, KY, Nov. Mr.. Carlisle has
been housed all day and he appears con-
fdent of a majority is doubtless congratu-
lating himself upon his narrow escape. To
a reporter VINO called upon him to ask if he
had any private adyices he said: II have
not, but am sure that shall have from 400
to 500 majority. These are general estimates,
but do not think it can fall below that.
It's a wonder I was not beaten. I have told
our people that sometime through feeling
of over confidence the Democrats would lose
their Congressman. They seem to think I
am sure to be elected whether anybody votes
or not"
"What induced the laboring men to bring |
out candidatef' 81 am sure do not know?" |
SIT is little remarkable, is it not, a |
coincidence that the falling off from the |
Irish precincts across the river gave Mr.. But |
terworth his MAJORITY" cit is and I can't |
account for it. 1t was still hunt. have |
been abused for appointments for which I |
am not responsible and l have even been |
blamed for the waterworks appointments in |
Covington with which had nothing to do. |
The charges circulated against me are all
false. I think good many Republicans
voted for me, but 1 suspect Democrats
joined in the still hunt in these two counties. |
It's good lesson to the Democracy and I
have expected just this. always prefer to
have opposition and 1 wanted the Repubi-
cans to bring out man. 1 should then have
had 5000 majority instead of 500.''
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 4.-Specials to the
Courier journal from Covington 40 p. No.
state that Carlisle has assured majority of
300 with five precincts to hear from, the vote
of which cannot alter materially this esti-
mate.
CINCINNATI, Nov. Sup to O'Clock am.
there is nothing in regard to the vote in Car
lisle's district. 1t will require an official
count to decide who is elected. In Gov
ington it is the general impression that Car
Isle is elected by 800 majority and this is
based on kilograms received from different
voting places. Figures received in this city
from the same source give him majority of
forty with few precincts to hear from.
