Presidency.

Opponent.
Says the People Have Decided
the Issue and That Their
Will Is Law.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE campaign OF
1896 is over. With Senator Jones con-
cession of McKinley's election the last
hope of even the most partisan silver
men was lost, and the exciting events
of the past few months pass into his
tory. But while the main result is set
tied. there are still some interesting sit
uations. In Kentucky the vote Is ex-
tremely close, but it is believed the
state will go for Mckinley by very
small plurality. On the coast, Califor-
MIA is out of doubt, and one of the
Wyoming electors will probably cast a
vote for Mckinley. South Dakota is
close, but is now put in the Republican
column. North Dakota and Indiana
are no longer looked upon as doubtful.
Giving Mckinley the vote of the Dako-
tas and Kentucky, and the doubtful
vote from Wyoming, he has 278 votes
in the electoral college. Without these
last, he has still plenty to give him an
election The result by states, both as
to electoral and popular vote, based on
the latest returns, is shown in the fol-
lowing table:

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 9.-The following
statement has been given out from the
Republican headquarters
practically complete official returns
give Mckinley 444 plurality in Ken
tucky, unofficial advices indicating
that the four missing counties will in
crease rather than decrease these fig
ures The Republicans elect four mem
bers of congress and judge of the
highest court of the state for an eight
year term, and by the filling of vacan-
cies have secured majority Of two in
the general assembly on joint ballot,
which insures Republican successor to
Senator Blackburn.
1.-The total vote i'll the state will APP
proximate 425, 900, an increase of 10000
over last years vote and $4,000 more
than the highest estimates before the
election. The Republican vote in
creased about 10000 over Governor
Bradley's vote year ago, which was
1900 higher than ever before cast in o
presidential election, and the Demo-
cratic vote was $4,000 higher. These
figures will give some idea of the in
tensity of the political struggle through
which Kentucky has just passed"

wanna Eleven by Two Points,

The High School foot ball eleven won
its first game yesterday by defeating
the eleven Of the School of the Lacka-
wanna in a game that was featured
more by excitement than scientific
playing.
Two 25-minute halves were played.
The Lackawanna players had the
heaviest line, but what the High School
boys lacked in beef they made up in
dash and vim. In the first half Clark,
after a beautiful run, made a touch
down for Lackawanna. but Mott failed
to kick goal. and the half closed with
the score as follows: Lackawanna, 4 !;
High School, 0.
In the second half the High School
eleven went at their opponents in do
or die" style, and by series of fierce
rushes finally enabled Debow to carry
the ball few inches over the line and
make touchdown. This feat was
greeted by wild enthusiasm on the part
Of the High School teams adherents,
and when Rice kicked goal the de-
monstrations of joy broke out anew.
During the remainder of the half
neither side scored and the game closed
with the score Lackawanna, 4; High
School, 6. The teams lined up as fol-
lows:
