KENTUCKY.
Louisville, KY, Nov. 5.-Tho excit-
ing campaign in Kentucky was followed
today by quiet election. The polls
closed at 4 o'clock, but tho blanket
Australian ballot, with unusual scratch
ing, makes the counting very slow, and
at / o'clock there was not enough re-
turns from the State or the city OF
Louisville to estimate upon. The DEM.
ocrats claim the election OF p. Wat llar-
din by 1000 or $500 majority. The Re-
publicans claim the election OF Bradley
by small plurality, but give no esti-
mates. The returns, so far as received
from the State, show that Hardin has
run with the ticket, and in few coun
ties ahead Of it, and If the ratio con-
tinues his election is assured. Some
counties in the eastern part OF the State
show some small Republican gains as
compared with the vote for president in
1892 In Louisville Hardin is believed
to have been scratched less than was
expected, but Bradley probably carries
the city.
At 2 am. the indications are that
Blackburn has majority in the legis-
lature and will succeed himself. Four
Populsts and fusion Democrats have
been elected, who will vote for Black
burn.
The Courier-Journal says in its
o'clock edition: Scattering returns, re-
ceived up to l o'clock, including this
city and county, give Hardin majority
of 1,7OO. These returns come from
every county in the State. Fonr years
ago in the race for governor, the Demo
cratic majority was 2S,0Sl.
NEW YORK.
Now York, Nov. 5.-New York State
has been carried by tho Republicans by
pluralities ranging from As, 600 to 55, 600,
compared with a plurality Of 24,4Si for
the head of the ticket two years ago.
Returns from more than one-half Of the
election districts outside the cities OF
Brooklyn, "or above Harlem" show o
net Republican gain OF 2,s03, compared
with the vote OF two years ago Main
tanning the same average, the gains will
reach 90, 900 outside of Greater New York
in the two cities below the Harlem.
The election in New York city was a
fight between the straight Tammany
ticket on the ono side and tho fusion
Republicans and Independents on the
other.
Tammany's victory was never in doubt,
and its plurality will probably be be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. The city COM
plete with the exception OF 1863 districts
gave Hamilton, fusion, 103,5 Purror,
Tammany, 119,97G on the vote for county
clerk.
The vote OF the Independent county
Democratic organization was considers
ably below 10000, and the good govern
ment ticket vote will scarcely reach
1000. The Socialists polled more than
1900, which makes them the third party
in this city.
MISSISSIPPI.
Jackson, MSS, Nov. From the va
rious precincts heard from the Popu'
lites only pollcd about Is per cent. ol
the total vote. Indications are that nc
more than so per cent. OF the registered
vote was polled, which will give total
vote of about 10000. Tho Democratic
majority will be from $4,000 to 10000
At many Of the precincts heard from
the Populites received no vote. Toom
suba, Lauderdale county, is the only
point heard from where the Populites
got majority. There the vote stood
Burkott 38, McLaurin 27. The strong
est Populite counties have not beer
heard from complete enough to- form
any estimate OF local contests. In thi.
city $40 votes wcro polled, being lcs'
