weather is fair, Kentucky Will tomor-
row poll the largest vote ever given.
The fight, though there are four tickets
in the field, is between the Republican
and Democratic parties for the state
offices. beginning with governor and
running down to district railroad COM
missioner. For time 1t looked as
though the Populists would poll large
vote. but the old parties have whipped
would-be deserters back into line and
now at the close of the battle royal
the finish Is between Hardin Demo
craO and Bradley (Republican) for
first honor--the office of governor. The
leaders named have been on the stump
for two months. while all others on
the respective tickets have been doing
more or less public speaking. And now
at the finish each side claims ting
victory. Hardin's partisans ana IMAM
ayers claim that he Will come TO this
city with 1900 majority, while the
friends OF Bradley claim that ne WIZ
win by not less than 10000. Both sides
claim that this city will favor their re-
spective nominee, but the chances are
that the hackers of Hardin VIII be dis
appointed II they are In earnest In
their claims. All cities In the state
Will elect municipal oillcers ana IN
many cases these local contests are
badly mixed In this city there are
three tickets-Republlcan Democrat
and Citizens. The A. i. a, vote, said
to be about 1900, will be cast for the
Republicans. The a. p AS have taken
this shoot because the Democratic
platform denounces the organization.
Democrats claim they VIII carry
Louisville without naming a majority.
The Republicans and a. II. y. put
their majority at from 5000 TO l2,oOo'
In addition TO state and city officers,
sixteen senators and 100 members OF
the house are to be elected, and this
legislature in turn will elect a United
States senator to succeed j. Q. s,
Blackburn. In this body the Demo-
Gratis will have the advantage OF nine
teen hold-over senators. There IL ut
tie doubt that the Democrats Will have
majority large enough to elect the
senator without any trouble.
Omaha, Neb,, Nov. All voters
throughout Nebraska have their eyes
on Omaha tonight. This city is rest
less; the campaign has centered around
Omaha almost exclusively. All con-
cede that the Republican candidates
for chief Justice and regents Will be
elected The gold and silver Demo-
Gratis have exhibited some spirit, and
each faction asserts that their state
candidates will poll the full strength
of their wing. and in that manner the
relative number OF the voters faVoring
or opposing the white metal In Ne
braska will be known.
In Omaha Irregularities were dis
covered In city departments and
committee OF 800 OF Omeha's most
prominent business men met and Is
sued u call for n citizens meeting fav-
oring reform to organize citizens

dorsed by the Democrats and Populists.
The Republicans, It IL claimed. We're
controlled by the A. L, A. The battle
has been between these two forces.
New York. Nov. 4.-The forecast for
this state tomorrow Is for clear wealth

urday night and little was done today
beyond the distribution of sample bal
lots and the issuing OF final nstruc-
lions by the leaders An important
detail OF the election work was the dis

money will be put tomorrow.

st. Lake City, Utah. Nov. 4.-on the
eve of the political battle all parties
are lined up ready to cast large vote.
The snow storm which has ragged all
day may interfere with the voting In
the country districts. Both parties are
closing the campaign with rallies at all
principal points In the territory. An
impartial observation leads to the con-
clusion that the Republican ticket will
be elected by a safe majority. although
there are many issues OF doubtful ef-
feet.
Des Moines, Ia. Nov i.-The Repub-
llcan and Democratic headquarters in
this city were closed tonight. the cam
pagn work IL done. Chairman Melville
lin OF the Republican committee said
simply: Il think We Will have a plu-
raiity OF 10000 and upwards" Chair
man Walsh OF the Democratic commit
tee said he was satisfied they would
cut down the Republican plurality and
with due effort on the part OF the DEM

lists are claiming from 10000 to $4,000.
