Investigations are to FOLLOW w nen
the Legislature Convenes.
LEXINGTON Ky.), Nov. THE
prospects of the Republicans electing the
next United States Senator from Ken
lucky are unusually bright. DR.. Hunter,
Chairman of the Republican Campaign
Committee, says he thinks the Repub-
lican majority on joint ballot in the next
Legislature will be four or five. The
Democrats concede the election of sixteen
Republican State Senators and htty-three
Representatives, making siXIy-nine IN
oil. They also claim the election Of
twenty-five Democratic Senator'S and
forty-seven Representatives, which
makes them have sixty-nine on joint bal
lot. OF the democrats fourteen in the
Senate are for sound money and twenty
seven III the House. Eight OF the Sem
ators are for Black burn and twenty Rep-
resenta;ives, which shows that Joint
caucus OF the Democrats would stand
forty-one against Blackburn TO twenty
eight for him.
Chairman Hunter thinks that the sound
money Democrats, or at least enough OF
them, will vote for Republican for
Onited States Senator TO insure his cleo
ton. should the Legislature not be Re-
publican on joint ballot.
There is strong talk in favor of DR..
Hunter for nited States Senator. The
other candidates mentioned are a. T..
Wilson and Colonel Walter Evans OF
Louisville and John w. y erkes OF Dan
Vile. McCreary will have no better
chance than Black burn, from the fact
hot 10 cd Ia n
precinct, town and county, and elected
both members OF the Legislature from
his district, and his Congressional dis
trict also went Repu blican. From the
fact that Colonel W. Z. L. breckenridge i
district. tie seventh, gives rousing ma
JoriJy tor The Democratic ticket, he Is be-
ing talked OF by leading Democrats as
the strongest manNthe could put up Tor
United States Senator, McCreary having
shown his inability to save his party
from defeat at home, and Black burn
having been so completely showed under
by the big Republican majority. Practi-
cal politicians are turning TO Brecken-
ridge IS the Moses TO lead them out OF
the wilderness OF defeat.
RESULT IN MARYLAND.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 7.-According to
official and unofficial returns from every
county ia the State, Hon. Lloyd Lowndes,
Republican. Tor Governor has plurality
o. l9,U3y. In the five counties carried by
Hurst he led Lowndes BY only l. 2O5
votes.
AS 4 result Of the defeat of the Demo-
Gratis on Tuesday Maryland is likely TO
have a sweeping investigation. Under
the Constitution of the State the House Of
Delegates is the grand inquest, and has
luII power by committee or otherwise TO
examine into and Investigate all persons
no may be or have been in Office under
the law. This duty and authority be-
longs TO the House alone, and il has
power to go into anything and everything
done by State or other officials holding
public trusts.
1t is proposed that as soon as the House
is organized by the Republicans TO have
u committee appointed 10 investigate
after the manner Of the famous Lexow
Committee of \ w \ ork, all public OIL
Gals or ex-public officials in the city and
state. In addition, Senator Bruce, an
anl-Gorman holdOVer Democrat, who
has made private investigation into the
expenditures OF the last session Of the
state Senate, proposes to have d public
examination into the expenditures of the
General Assem- bly,, which his experience
has convinced him are much larger than
they ought TO be.
GORMAN'S EXPRESSIONS.
WASHINGTON, Nov. senator Gor-
man is quoted in " ash.ngton paper as
expressing himself as follows in regard
10 the Maryland election: These things

opponents would have charged us with
ali sorts OF election crimes. | shall not
act that way. / believe we were out

laws Of Maryland 1t IS next to Impossible

and were aided by the votes OF the Demo-
Gratis who had q grievance The figures
show that their vote was polled almost
up to the registration, while in Baltimore

Senator, that Maryland, after twenty

administration under the Democrats,
should have passed into Republican

canal proposition, and accurate figures
