LOSE IN KENTUCKY.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 5.-The issue
of the political battle in this state is
enshrouded in doubt. Both sides are
claiming victory, but the tones in
which they make their boasts and the
figures they cite as basis for their
alleged belief do not carry conviction
to the mind of au unprejudiced on
locker. The fact is that everybody is
at sea, because in the present contest
the silent voter is greater factor than
he has ever been in the history of
Maryland politics. The fierce attacks
made on German and the cutlery
against what his opponents term Cor
manism" have undoubtedly Influenced
many who have heretofore voted the
Democratic ticket and viii induce them
to vote against Hurst. who is known
as Mr.. Germans candidate. Upon
the other hand, the very bitterness of
the attack has brought Mr.. Germans
friends closer to him than ever before,
and they will get out every vote at
their command. Then, too, the color
line has been drawn for all it is worth
and every known device has been
taken advantage of, to lead the voters
of Maryland to believe that the Re-
publican victory means negro suprem-
acy. With such arguments as these as
the sole issues in the campaign it
would be idle to predict result and
all that can be said is that it looks
anybody's victory.

CONTEST IN OHIO.
Republicans VIII Probably Carry the
IeeisIature and Defeat Rrfce.

Republicans viii Probably Carry the
Legislature and Defeat Brice.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 5.-While
both parties have paid special atten-
ton to the Legislature, which selects
a successor to Senator Brice, it is con-
coded that the Republicans have an
advantage in the apportionment,
which stands till after the census of
1900 The Democratic State ticket
might be elected by a
decisive plurality and the
Legislature be Republican. It is
conceded that the Republicans can
control the legislature without Ham
ilton county, in which Cincinnati is
located, but that the Democrats must
have the fourteen members from
Hamilton county in order to
get legislative majority. AS ex-
Governor Foraker, who lives here, is a
candidate for Brice's place, great in
terest is taken in the result IN Ham
ilton county. The betting at odds is
on it going Republican. The Prohl-
bitionists claim the usual vote. GEN
eral Coxey estimates 10000 votes for
himself as the Populist candidate for
governor. It is not believed either the
third or the fourth party will affect
the contest between General Bushnell
and Ex-Governor Campbell or the leg
islative tickets.

Joseph Vendig, manager of the Inflated
Florida Athletic club; James Kennedy,
manager of the Empire Athletic club,
and Charlie White, one of Fitz-

greatly disguised with their Western

blame for the fiasco upon Julian, who.

IN NEW JERSEY.

The Election Is Claimed by Both Parties
by From 1000 to 5000.
JERSEY CITY, N. j., Nov. 5.-The
election is claimed by both parties by
between 1000 to 5000. The State
campaign has been fought on the same
issues upon which the Republicans
carried the state in the last two cleo
tions. The racetrack and administra-
ton of State affairs by the Democrats
during the ten years preceding 1898
were the issues raised by the Repub-
licans. The Democratic leaders claim
they will control the assembly. but to
do this they will have to carry Essex
county, which they concede to be Re-
publican on the state ticket

HOT IN KENTUCKY.
The Campaign One of the Fiercest in the
History of the State

History of the State
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov o.-One of the
hottest campaigns known in this state
for many years has closed, and Ken
lucky will poll the largest vote ever
given. The fight, though there are
four tickets in the field, is between
the Republicans and Democrats for the
state offices, beginning with governor
and running down to district railroad
commissioner. For time it looked
as though the Populists would poll
large vote, but the old parties have
whipped the would-be deserters back
into line and now at the close of the
battle royal, the finish is between Har-
din. Democrat. and Bradley, Repub-
1ican, for first honor-the office of gov
ernor. The leaders named have been
on the stump for two months. while
all others on the respective tickets
have been doing more or less pu bile
speaking and now at the finish each
side claims the victory.
All cities in the state will elect mu-
nieipal officers, and in masy cases the
local contests are badly mixed. In this
city there are three tickets, Repub-
lican, Democratic and Citizens. The
A. p A vote, said to be about IA goo,
will be cast for the Republicans, be-
cause the Democratic platform de-
nounces the organization. The Dem
ocrats claim that they will carry
Louisville without naming a majority.
On the other hand the Republicans
and a. P. AS put their majority at
from 5000 to 1900. The probabili
ties are that the city will go Repub-
lican by perhaps 3,O0e.
In addition to state and city officers,
nineteen senators and one hundred
members of the house are to be elected
and this legislature, in turn, will elect
a United States Senator to succeed j.
S. Blackburn. In this body, the Dem
ocrats will have the advantage of
nineteen holdovers- There is prob
ability that the Democrats will have
majority large enough to elect the
Senator without trouble.
