es in as many different places in three
days. He met with large audiences at
every point and his meetings have been
attended by five voters to every one who
has attended the Stockslager meetings. Mr..
TraceweIl has been making a thorough
canvass of the district for the past six
weeks and will wind up the campaign in
his own county next week. The prospect
of his election is growing brighter as the
day for the election approaches. The Dem
ocratic majority which Hon. Jason b.
Brown received has never been figured on
by the friends of Stockslager. Their last
stimate only gives Stockslager a plurality
Of seven hundred in the district, which
shows that they are almost conceding the
election Of Tracewell. The Republicans
t~hroughout the district are working might
and main for the success of the Repub-
lican candidate. A person who has been
over the district lately gives the following
figures as the probable outcome of the con-
gressional race: In 1892 the Democrats
carried the following counties by the re-
spective majorities: Clark, 1885,; Floyd, L.
261; Harrison, $50; Jackson, 1,130; Scott, 3l6;
Washington, 4S9. The Republicans carried
Jefferson by $50 and Jennings by 44. The
counties and the majorities estimated for
Stockslager are: Clark, 200; Jackson, 500;
Scott, $50, and Washington. zoo. This would
only give S~tockslager 1860 majority in
those counties. He figures that there will
be a stand-off in Floyd county, with the
Tracewell a majority. This has already
been conceded by the Louisville Courier
Journal, and that Traceweli will carry the
following counties: Harrison. $50; Jefferson,
700. and Jennings by $50. This would give
Tracewell a majority of $50 over Stock
slayer without any in Floyd county. A great
many Republicans and Democrats believe
that Tracewell will be elected Congress
