SAYS SYNDICATE WILL RULE,
Arthur Sewal1's Wasted Campaign Con.
trtbutions Make Him Trifie Sore.
ESPECIAL TO THE PnEss.l

Bath, Noyem bey 6.-Your correspondent
called on Hon. Arthur Sewall the defeat
ed candidate for tho Woe Presidency to-
day, and asked him what he considered
the future prospect of free silver. Mr..
Sewall saids "The cause of free coinage
of silver will continue to grow until it is
adopted by the people. It is an issue
that will never die, but in my judgment
the seed sown during the past campaign
will grow rapidly and eventually prevail.
The people have rendered their verdict
and all loyal Democrats will cheerfully
acquiese, as they always do to the will
OF the people and the principle of major
ity rule. At the same time believing
that our issue is right, they will conf
IDENTIFY look forward to the reversion of
that verdict four years hence or earlier,
and with deep regret in the meantime
that govarnwent syndicate will rule
our country"

FRAUDS IN KENTUCKY.
Canvassing Board VIII Have to Pass OF
EJactinr Returns

Canvassing Board VIII Have to Pass or
Election Returns.
Louisville, KY, Novemher 6.-The
Evening Times says that it will take the
count of the state canvassing board,
which is Republican, TO decide how
Kentucky has gone. Both sides charg-
ing fraud in a number of counties. The
anvassing board is composed of the
governor, auditor and secretary OF
state.
Louisville, November 6.-Leslie, tho
last of the missing counties, gives Nc
Kinley 841 plurality. This indioates
that the state is Republican by between
500 and 700.
1t is alleged that enough frauds have
been discovered in Owen county, which
given Bryan 1900 plurality, TO cause it to
bs thrown out. 1t Is said the secretary
of state will not sign the certificate of
Owen This will not only add 1900 to
McKinley's plurality, but will elect Col.
Breck1nridge to Congress.
Louiaville, November Gas the off1c-

ment is confirmed that the electoral vote
in this state Is going to stand 10 to l.
In some counties the head OF the elec-
toral ticket leads the other 10 by more
than 100 votes 1t will take an official
count to satisfy both sides. The last
newspaper figures place MoKinley's plu-
rality in the srate at 63.
The state returning board will meet
four weeks from Tuesday to pass on the
count by counties. No matter which
way the states goes, the electoral vote is
going to be divided, that is If the RepHb-
licans carry the state they will get Il
electors and the Democrats one, and
vice versa, II the Democrats win. This
results from the fact that large num-
ber Of voters placed GROSS opposite the
name of the first elector instead of under
the party device.
