THE STATE ELECTIONS.
The Indications Still; Favorable to the
Election of Carlisle.

Election of Carlisle.
CtYcrNNArI. November 5th-Carlisle is
urobaby elected, but by narrow margin.
He claims majority Of from four to six
hundred. The official count begins to-day
in the eight counties composing the Dis
trict and must be completed before the re-
suit is definitely knewn. Unfortunately
for those who are most anxious to learn
the final result the counties whose votes
will decide the matter are almost inaccess-
ible. Two of them have neither railroads
|, nor telegraph, but it is probable that
enough information may be obtained some
time during the night TO furnish material
for decisive statement OF the result. The
opinion here is universal that the cause of
the surprisingly close contest lay in the
fact that nearly all OF the Democrats in the
back counties were unaware OF any formal
opposition TO Carlisle, and thousands of
Democrats staid at home. Boone county,
which will give Carlisle about five hundred
majority. is Democratic by at least thirty
five hundred, and this is sample Of the
indifference The majority for Thoebe in
Campbell and Kenton counties is due chiefly
to the large number of Knights of Labor
in Covington and Newport. The chances
this morning are decidedly favorable to
Carlisle.
CrScIsyArr. November 5th,- All the
counties In the Sixth District are not yet
heard from, but enough is known TO make
it certain that Speaker John G. Carlisle is
elected by q majority of 700 or 500. With
reference to his comparatively small ma
iority, Carlisle said tonight to an Associ-
ated Press reporter: s. If the vote against
me last Tuesday had been larger than the
vote against me heretofore, some signifi-
canoe might be attached to it. Such, how
opponent received nearly twice as many
votes as were cast against me on Tuesday,
and vet. two years ago, my majority was
nearly six thousand. If it had been gen
orally supposed that the opposition to me
really amounted 10 anything, think my
majority at this election would have been
COCO or 1000. In outside cities and towns
it was scarcely known had an opponent,
and even in the cities and towns my friends
attached very little importance 10 the op-
position. They were thrown off their
guard by the fact that several times, here
tofore, candidates had announced them
selves in opposition and had received a
very small vote"

IsDIAEAPoLfs, November 5th.-A good
deal of local excitement is developing here
in political circles over the alleged count
ing out, by the Democratic Canvassing
Board, of Irwin, the Republican candidate
for Judge Of the Criminal Court On the
face of the returns, Irwin had a good ma
jority, but when the canvass was completed
his Democratic competitor, Ayres, was de-
clared elected by II votes. During the
canvass of the vote many disputes occurred
of erasures and changes in the tally-sheets,
and all these were decided in favor of
