Ihere was also an election for chief
justice. The Republicans nominated
a candidate. The POpulists did not,
but there was an independent candi-
date The full vote for these two can
didates was 10000, whereas the total
vote of the State is over 100000. The
Republican got $4,000 more votes than
the independent, and this is the basis
of the cry that Kansas went Republi-
can by $4,000 majority. Nearly hund-
red thousand voters did not vote for
these candidates at all, and the Repub-
lican candidate received 33,S4I less
votes than was given the Republican
candidate for AssOciate-Justice in
1892. The Pops. had no candidate in
the field.
In Virginia the vote was small. The
Sun POp.,) says:
"We will have in the Senate 6 men,
bers, instead of =, as in the last Legis-
lature, and In the House 81 members,
instead of TO-"
Nebraska.
The POpulists held their own on dis
trict judges, cast more votes for regents
than they did in 1898, 5000 more votes
for Maxwell, the candidate for Su-
preme Judge, than they cast for Hol-
comb two years ago, and on county Of
ficers made splendid gains.
In the counties so far heard from the
POpulists have gained 56 county OFF,
GERS and lost %, making a net gain of
%. There are still some counties to
hear from, but these will only insure
to the credit of the Populists. So far
as heard from the POpulists hold 80
county offices.
In Kentucky the Populists lost over
the previous election, but the people
were anxious to give the Democratic
party q terrific lashing for it's lying
and treachery, and they thought'they
could make the sting sharper by rOut-
ing that party with its old enemy. In
this matter they were mistaken, but
here is the vote:
| For Governor the vote was as fol-
lows: Bradley, Republican, 1925
Hardin, Democrat, l64 ,655 Petit, Pop
ulist, 1927; Demaree, Prohibition
4,l62. Bradley's plurality, S,571.
In 1892 Kentucky voted as follows
Republican, 1876 AL; Democratic, 1885,
46l; Populist, 23,5OO; PrOhibitiOnist
6,442. The vote for Congress in 1894
showed about the same Republican
vote, but a falling off of $4,000 in the
Democratic vote.
On the basis Of 1892 the Republicans
have gained $1,000 votes in Kentucky
and the Democrats have lost $4,000.

Mississippi went Democratic o.
course, but the POpulists gained. Miss
issippi is badly off in the matter o.
newspapers, and the New Orleans pa
pers do most of the reporting in tina
State. The Messenger (POp.,) says:
The New Orleans Picayune CORES
pondent estimates that the total vot'
Of the State in the last election will no
exceed $4,000, and says the registered
vote was about 125,OOO. Half the adul
males in the State then are not regis
tered and little more than half thar
that are to exercise the privilege o
innate that $4,000 were Democratic ant
Is 900 Populist. This is the highes
vote ever polled for the POpulist ticke
in the State and shows our folks ar
growing in numbers Notwithstanding
the overweaning power of the machine
Speaking of the Mississippi election
an old party paper says.
"It is said the POpulists failed t.
carry q single county in Mississippi
, They had twenty-five members OF tn
last Legislature in that State, but the
were all swept away by the Democratl
cyclone which seems to have confine
:. itself solely to Mississippi. Their
seems to be very little comfort for tn
Pops. in the election just passed"
And to this snort the POpulist re
plies:
e "Whoever said the above ha
. wheels in his head. The POpulist
u elected eight representatives an
e polied a big vote in Mississippi. Th
e twenty five members of the last Legls
e lature who were Populists all joined II
l. Peoples party after their election, and on
of them, if we mistake not, was OF
genial friend, Capt. Frank Burkit
e who led the POpul;st column tn

The Populists have never made
great headway in Maryland, thoug
immense gains were made this yea
l. The Peninsular Farmer says:
70 Last year we polled only 3s votes
Caroline County, this yeOr 200 or gal
of 900 per cent. We are morally ce
