HEAVY REGISTRATION

Louisville, Ky, Oct. 7.-Rcports from
over Kentucky show that the registra-
ton of voters yesterday was heavy to an
unprecedented extent, and the Republi-
cans claim to be greatly encouraged over
the result. Except in Louisville, Licking
ton and Covington, but one day is given
to registration. Figures received from
majority of the towns show uniform Re-
publican gains in the registration, and
also great increase in the number who
refuse TO state their political affiliations.
AS a rule the gold standard Democrats
have registered rs plain Democrats, and
it is impossible to estimate their
strength. The back districts have not
been heard from, nut the reports tot ay is
conceded the most significant evidence
yet brought forward to indicate how the
State will go in November. The Repub-
lican gain on the face of the registration
returns will amount to over $1,000

That Bryan Will Carry Indiana by Ire
mendous Majority

Richmond Va, Oct Gov Mat
thews, of Indiana, has written the Rich
mond State rs follows regarding the po-
litical situation in his State:
I'm reply to yours of the Both ultimo,
which have just read, | am glad to say
that after quite an extensive canvass of
the State have no doubt of the result.
Bryan will carry Indiana by il tremendous
majority. Our people, especially in the
country districts, are thoroughly reused
to the Importance of the issue. My adj.
vices lead me to believe that Illinois will
be for Bryan and Ohio may be put in the
doubtful list. Well informed gentlemen
from Kentucky feel satisfied that Ken
lucky will return to the old faith and be
in the Democratic column again.
