LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. e.-The Post,
democratic, in its extra issued at II
o'clock, says: 1t appears that Hardin
leads the democratic ticket, but 1t also
appears that Bradley leads Hardin, or,
II not, llardin's majority is SO small as
10 amount to virtual defeat Out
side Of Louisville, Bradley carries the
county OF Jefferson by 240, and Speed,
the republican candidate for the legis-
lature, /, elected, thus depriving Black
burn of one vote. Summarizing the
results, 1t may lie said at this writing
that the majority will not be 5000
either way. Mercer, the home county
OF IIarIin. at the previous election for
governor, rave democratic majority
., $50. At this election Hardin carries
the county by ~, democratic loss OF
2s5.
NEW YORK GOES REPUBLICAN,.
NEW YoRK, Nov G. Returns from
..5l9 election districts out OF 1888
north OF the Harlem river, leaving S64
districts TO be heard from, give Palmer
(rcp.), for secretary OF state, Ssl, 47S;
King (lcm.). 1857, republican plu-
rality OF 1881, showing republican
gain o, 25,l5s, compared with the vote
Of 1898. The same relative gain will
leave the republicans plurality of
lls, 400 north OF the Harlem river De-
ducting the democratic plurality Of Al
6l2 for the head OF the state ticket in
New York city, and the estimated plu-
Hlity Of 5000 in Brooklyn, the repub-
lican plurality in the state at large
will be settled to fully 10000. The
two branches Of the legislature remain
as before, under the direction Of the
republicans.
REPUBLICANS CLAIM IOWA.
Dies MONIES, Ia, Nov. 8-At II
o'clock the republicans claimed the
state by So 600, while democrats con-
cede $4,000, which was Jackson's plur-
atty two years ago. Present indica-
lions are that 1t cannot 60 below co.
600. The populists make some gains,
mostly from the democrats The pro-
hibitionists are not polling as large a
vote as they did two years ago. On
the legislature, few returns have been
received. The republican committee
estimates the house, "A republicans
and 20 democrats, and the senate, AZ
republicans and 5 democrats This
gives Senator Allison ll6 out Of 1850
votes on joint ballot next winter,
when he comes up for re,election,
DEMOCRATS coNcEDR NEW JERSEY.
TRENTON, N, j., Nov, 8.--The official
vote for governor is; Griggs, rs, 422;
McGill, 1900. Griggs' plurality, 90, 500.
OF the seven senator's voted for, five re-
publicans and one democrat were
elected, one being still doubtful. OF
the sixty assemblymen elected, forty
are surely republican, thirteen assur-
eddy democratic, and seven are still in
doubt II Bergen county, which Is re,
ported to be in doubt, has been carried
by the republicans, as Is probable, the
new senate will stand eighteen repub-
Leans and fourteen democrats The
chairman OF the Mercer county demos
cratic county committee comedies the
state to the republicans by from 10000
10 10000
REPUBLICANS SWEEP OHIO.
COLUMBUS. O., Nov, 6.-The chair
man of the democratic state central
committee gave out the following;
1--WE concede the state to the repub-
licans by 10000 plurality, and both
branches of the legislature by large
majority. The populist vote Of over
10000 votes for Coxey for governor
hurt us. The hard times were too
fresh in the minds Of the people to DO
forgotten, and this tended to our de.
feat. There Is nothing left us on
which to begin the campaign OF 1896"
At republican state headquarters the
last bulletin claimed lli,00O plurality
and ia members of the legislature to
50 democrats.
IN NEBRASKA.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 6-Returns from
various portions of Nebraska show
that Norval republican, for supreme
court, Is elected by a large majority,
and republican gains on all sides. One
Of the surprises developed by late re-
turns is the great strength of Maxwell,
populst candidate for supreme judge.
Ills vote is next to Norval's aud is al.
most double that Of both the demo-
cratic candidates for the same position.
The vote for the two democratic candi-
dates is very small. lIroatch, A. 7. A.,
is elected by 800 over Brown, citizens,
for mayor
A LARGE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY.

ceived up to midnight indicate that
