sress, has mandamused the sheriff of
Fayette county, where wholesale frauds
are reported to such an extent as to

DELAWARE RETURNS.
Wilmington, Del, Nov. G.--The
counting up of the returns for this
county was finished by the men on the
adding machines at 7.30 o'clock this
evening. No disorder occurred after
o'clock this morning. The sheriff had
a big force of deputies on hand all day
to keep the crowds out of the court
house. The result of the counting
showed that the Flynn people for sher-
iff, had his vote much reduced as COM
pared with the figures given out by the
election officers after the polls closed.
The last count showed he had but 1S2
plurality against 1,021 returned by the
election officers. The result in the
state on president now stands: Nc

whose name had "sr." added on one
ticket in New Castle county, was count
ed as two men, but his vote in Kent
and Sussex counties gave him more
than the lowest man on the Democratic
ticket and he is elected.
LATEST FROM KENTUCKY.
Louisville. Ky, Nov. 6.--As the off
cial returns come in tonight the state
ment is confirmed that the electoral
vote of the state is going to stand II to
!. 1t will take the official count to sat-
isfy both sides. The last newspaper
figures place McKinley's plurality in
the state at G33. Kasp and Smith. the
first electors on the Republican and
Democratic ticket. respectively. are
running ahead of the other electors on
the official count and no matter which
way the state goes the electoral vote is
going to be divided; that is. If the Re-
publicans carry the state ticket they
will get 12 electors and the Democrats
l and vice-versa If the Democrats win.
This results from the fact that a large
number of voters placed the cross Oppo-
site the name of the first electOr in
stead of under the party device. The
canvassing board has ruled in these
cases that the vote should count only
for one elector Notwithstanding the evil
dent intention of the voter.
