CINCINNATI O., Nov. 1-Senator
Blackburn, who has been replying to
Secretary. Carlisle throughout en-
tucky, spoke last night at Covington,
the home of Secretary Carlisle.
Senator Blackburn said: MY esti-
mates, which l consider conservative,
give Kentucky to Bryan by from $4,000
to 10000. 1 would not compromise on
10000. Col. Whallen and others assure
me that Louisville will give Bryan a
majority. The Republicans claim that
district by 5000 and upwards. They will
not carry it by more than 5000 at their
best"
How do you figure yours, the famous
Ashland Seventh district
my table is not by rties, but by
precincts, and I give e,.s'e 1000 major
ity ov.r Breckenridge. l wac born and
brought up in that district and have
lived there all my life, and I think
ought to know something about it. I
spoke in Lexington to two immense au-
diences, and never in my life have I
spoken to such enthusiastic and deter
mined people in Kentucky. Anyone who
witnessed that outpouring and purpose
must have been convinced that Democ-
racy will be triumphant in that district
beyond the shadow of a doubt speak
at Paris Monday afternoon and at
Frankfort that night. The Republicans
claim both Bourbon and Franklin coun-
ties. but each will give Settle good
majority. They are claiming my coun-
ty but it will give Bryan and Settle 100
majority"
How is the Tenth district. where you
spoke before reaching Lexirgton?'
THAT distrit will give Bryan and
Fitzpatrick 1900, and the Ninth will give
Bryan and Thomas 1000 on conserva-
tive count. Berry will be elected to
congress in the Sixth, and that district
will give Bryan 1000 majority"
How about the Eighth?"
'It is a close contest, but John Thomp-
son will be elected congressman, and
Bryan will get "a nice, neat majority.
Senator Blackburn said that 5000 peo
pie at least were out to hear him speak
at Owensboro. when he followed Car
Isle last Wednesday. and he puts the
Democratic majority in that district at
50OO He says the Fourth will give sew
eral thousand majority for Bryan and
Smith. The senator is sure of Bryans
and silver's success.
PENNSYLVANIA.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 1.-The cam
paign in Pennsylvania closed last night
with the meetings that were held all
over the state. Although the electoral
vote has been conceded to Mckinley
from the start, Republican orators have
Travelled up and down the state, making
speeches in behalf of their candidates.
This activity has been due largely to
two causes: First, the fact that the
legislature to be chosen on Tuesday
rext will elect a successor to United
States Senator j. Donald Cameron; sec
ond, that the Business Mems national
campaign committee and the leading
Republican organizations in the large
cities have provided an army of speak
ers and the means of holding innumer-
able meetings all over the state. The
three leading candidates for Unite !
States senator, Gov. Hastings, John
Wanamaker and State Senator Boies
Penrose, have been on the stump during
the campaign and have spoken in near
ly every county.
The uncertain Situate in several IF
the congressional districts is the cause
of much anxiety to Republican leaders.
In the landslide of two years ago the
Republicans elected twenty-eight out
of thirty congressman, but the chances
are that this year the Democrats will
elect four or possibly six congressman.
At the headquarters Of the Republican
state committee it is claimed that Penn
sylvania will give Mckinley anywhere
from 100000 to 100000 plurality. The
Democratic chairman hopes to keep tn .
Republican plurality below 1000

have a very active organization in the
state, and Chairman Given hopes the
ticket will poll from 40, 900 to sc, 900 votes.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. 1.-The chair
men of the respective state committees

though Chairman Beal OF the Democrat
ic committee estin'cees the Republican

Mr.. Manley, the chairman of the Re
publican committee. The latter said to
an Associated Press reporter this morn
