LOUISVILLE. ky. Nov. 1.-The fol-
lowing bulletin was issued hy Chairman
Roberts tonight at S o'clock:
The Republican State Committee
claims Kentucky by one thousand MAJ
jorlty. il wired its county chairmen
to-day for complete corrected fOotings by
counties. and received returns from al
but five of the counties i'm the mountain
sections. These unofficial returns were
classified by districts. with this result:
The Democrats Will go to the Eleventh
district. the Republican Gibraltar with
l3 go majority in their favor. This noun
tain district gave Governor Bradley
little over 1900 majority last year. and
has been counted on all along for 1900
this year.
Returns from over half the counties OF
the district already assure considerable
over 1900 Republican majority. upon
which basis the committee is justified in
claiming the State by approximately
1000 majority. The official count viii be

Democratic gains were made in the four
congressional districts south and west
OF Louisville. whore nine-tenths OF the
POpulists Of Kentucky are centered. The
fusion OF Populists with the silver Dem
ocrats was perfect. and the latter cap
tured the entire four congressional seats
