THE RETURNS SEEM TO LEAN
HARDIN,s WAY, But NOT
STRONGLY.
BOTH CLAIM THE VICTORY.
THE PLURALITY ON EITHER SIDE
is NOT LIKELY TO DE OVER
5000.
REPUBLICAN GAINS,
Legislature Not az Certain for the
Democrats as Ii Ought
to Be. ~

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 5.-1ne
Post Oem.), in an extra edition is
sued at II o'clock, says: "At this
writing the returns are coming in
scattering from all portions of the
state. 1t appears that Hardin leads
the Democratic ticket, but it also ap-
pears that Bradley leads Hardin, or,
if not, Hardin's majority is 50 small
as to amount to a virtual defeat.
Outside Of Louisville Bradley car
ries the county Of Jefferson by 24O,
and c. Speed, the Republican candi-
date for the legislature, is elected,
thus depriving Blackburn of one
vote. 1t is not probable that Brad
ley's majority will exceed 5000 in
this, the Fifth, district. Graves coun-
ty, Hart, Logan, Hopkins, Hardin,
Nelson, Boyle and Franklin all show
large Republican gains. The result
will depend largely on the First dis
trict and the returns from the Elev-
enth. From these two distant dis
tricts the returns are so meager that
decided results are not indicated re-
suits.
Summarizing the results It may be
said at this writing that the majority
will not be 5000 either way. Mercer
county, the home of Hardin, at the
previous election for governor gave a
Democratic majority of S5S. At this
election Hardin carries the county by
I2, Democratic loss Of 2S6.''
Returns to midnight from ninety
five counties and towns, mostly in
complete, give Hardin 81, 2,155; Bradley,
2S.536. Other returns received give
Bradley a majority aggregating 1886,
leaving a net majority of l,223 for Har-
din. There was dearth Of news at
the headquarters of the Democrats and
Republicans. Reports were so meager
that Chairman Norman would say
nothing more than that he believed
Hardin was elected. He would not say
by what majority, or why he was so
impressed. At the Republican head
quarters many private kilograms had
been received from the chairmen of
the county committees. Congressman
Hunter, chairman of the state COM
mittee, was not faVorably impressed
with the returns from the interior He
said that a continuation of these re-
ports would indicate the election OF
Hardin by a small majority. The
Democratic majority four years ago
for governor was 2S,076. In another
talk Chairman Norman refused to re-
iterate his claim that Hardin's ma
jority would reach 15,000. The city Re-
publicans are claiming that they have
won all the municipal offices, except
two or three school trustees, and
that the city and county will give a
majority for Bradley of from 5000 to
SOOO
PROBABLY HARDIN.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 6, 1:S0 a. m
Scattering returns received up to
O'Clock, including this city and county,
give Hardin a plurality of LOO. These
returns come from every county in the
state. Four years ago. in a race fol-
governor, the Democratic majority was
2s,Os1, and some idea of the present re-
suit may be CLEANED from the fact that
the Republicans made the following
gains in counties remotely situated:
Adair, 24S: Allen, 473; Mercer. 2S6; Mad
ison, 293! Breckenridge, $40; Boyd, 566;
Cumberland 257; Franklin, 5SS. In this
county the Republican gain Will be over
11,000
The Courier-Journal, in its midnight
extra, says: THE returns at this hour
are too far from completion to do mora
than serve as indications. They show
gen: rally that the Democrats have suf-
fered losses in most counties. In some
counties they seem to have gained
slightly. The vote was not as heavy
as had bsen expected. The Republicans
lead in all the legislative races except
in the Forth-fifth district, where Car
roll had a walkover. From present in
dications John H. Weller is defeated
for the state senate by Christian
Siege"
The attention of the committeeman
and newspapers is so much centered on
the race for governor that the legisla-
tive contests outside of Jefferson coun-
ty are overlooked in the returns. Tine
reports are tco meager for general use
The indications at this writing are that
the vote of this county will decide the
race for governor. Whatever the re-
suit. the majority will be very small
in fact it viii not be a majority, but a
plurality. Garrard, Bradley's county,
gives a Republican gain of ISL. Every
county from which complete returns
have been received shows large Re
publican gains.
CLAIMED FOR BRADLEY.
CT, LOFTS. Mo. Nov. 5.-A special to

tonight indicate the election OF Brad,

FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. 5.-The Re
publicans elected the school trustees
by $50 or 200 majority. The 1ity VIII
probably give Bradley SEQ majority, 1Ay,,.
