INDIANA.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 3.-Upon the
basis. of returns FROM seven Hundred
and forty y-seven precincts, forty five per
cent. of the vote of the state, republican
ticket has been elected by a plurality of
5275. Ex-senator Mcdonald, member of
the democratic state central committee
says, however, that the returns from the
other fifty five per cent.
of the precincts will result in
placing the state again in the democratic
column. He bases his claim upon the
experience of 1884, when bulletins for
two days after the election indicated the
success of the republican ticket. Pierre
Gray, son of the governor and his pri-
vate secretary, is of the same opinion,
and says he will not give 1t up before to-
morrow night.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. AT the demo
cratic headquarters at noon it was stated
that their private advices corrobOrated the
figures indicating the republicans had
elected the state ticket. They will claim
the legislature by three majority on joint
ballot. Senator Harrison says the legis-
lature is undoubtedly republican. Con
gresham Steele, according to the latest
advices, has carried the Eleventh dis
trict. This makes seven congressman for
the republicans to six for the democrats,
a congressman gain of three for the
former. Congressman Bynum is re-
elected by 1,200 to 1,500 majority.
Returns nearly complete from this
(12th) congressional district, show the
election of White, rep, for congress, by

KENTUCKY.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 3.-The election for
congressman and state board of equali-
zation was generally quiet throughout the
state; light vote was polled. There are
eleven congressional districts and of
these ten elected the democratic candida
ties, while Speaker Carlisle was defeated
CINCINNATI, Nov. 3.-The startling de
feat of Speaker John G., Carlisle was fore
shadOwed in the returns received last
night. From the returns received to-
day Carlisle himself this afternoon con
ceded his defeat. His successful compel
itor George H Thoebe Is a native of
Kentucky, though of foreigen parsntage.
He Is an artist in wood carving and has
been employ ed in manufactory in this
city. He is described "a an agitator fit
to be leader among wOrkingmen. There
was so little general knowledge of the
extent of his popularity that no one
dreamed of his election. 1t was said
however, by the Covington Common
wealth n few days before election that
Thoebe had strong following among the
wOrkmen based upon their objection
to the free trade leaning of Carlisle and
1t was intimated that something of sur
prise was in store. Other papers indi-
cate that Carlisle suffered seriously from
the democratic disfection growing out
of his course in relation to the govern
ment appointments in his districts.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 3.-The Courier Jour
nal special at O'Clock stating that
later returns would elect Carlisle by about
500 majority was received with great
cheering and there is yet cherished a
hope that Carlisle is elected. The Gov
ington Commonwealth is authority for
the statement of Carlisle's 800 majority.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 3 Despite Carlisles
waning hopes this p. m, encouraging re-
turns have begun to come in. Kenton
and Campbell counties gave 1897 major
ity against him. The Sun has specials
indicating the following ma
joritics for Carlisle in the
remainder of the district, Pendleton Co.
40l, Grant 400, Gallatin $50, Carroll 300,
Trimble 300, Boone, 300; total 2,O51.
This showing leaves Carlisle majority
of 64 in the district and it can readily be
seen that the official count which occurs
Friday will have to decide it.

larger than ever before polled for prohi-

cut any figure except in isolated dis
trlcts. The greater bulk of this vote
has come from the democrats

forecast the vote of the legislature on

that the returns SO far received are too
