NEARLY ALL RETURNS IN.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 5.-With two
whole counties-Leslie and Knott-and
is precincts missing, Bryan has plurali-
ty Of 215 votes in the state, but many of
the returns are unofficial and ii seems
highly probable that the state board will
have to decide. Of the two missing
counties. Leslie is Republican and gave
Bradley 716 majority. Knott is Demo-
cratic and gave Hardin, Democrat, for
governor over Bradley last year, 399 ma
jority The missing precincts are dis
tributed about equally among Demo-
Gratis and Republican counties The three
missing precincts in Bellair are strong
ly Republican, and the two missing pre-
cincts in Clay county are likewise Re-
publican; one In Letcher is Republican,;
one in Grant is Republican, as are on in
Pendleton and three in Henderson.
Chairman Roberts still claims the
state for Mckinley by 1000, and Chair
man ,Sommers claims it for Bryan, but
gives no figures. He claims to have re-
turns from all missing precincts.
AT HALF-PAST TWELVE.
Louisville, Nov. 5.-At 1890, on the
strength of the added returns from the
Eleventh district, Chairman Roberts OF
the Republican committee confidently
claims the state for Mckinley by over
1900. Chairman Sommers is likewise
claiming it, but gives no figures.
The Evening Times makes the most
conservative estimate yet offered, which
gives the state to Mckinley by about l.
900. This estimate is with only nine pre-
cinots missing, six of which are in Re
publican counties and three in Demo-
cratic counties. The two missing coun-
ties, Leslie and Knott, are literally esti-
mated. Leslie is strongly Republican,
but the Times estimates it in its total
below Bradley's majority last year.
Knott county, which is Democratic, the
Times gives Bryan by the anti-election
claim OF commissioners, which is excess
sive There has been much betting on
the result at even money, but the sport
ing fever is dying out on the strength of
additional returns. The betters having
good sums on Mckinley wanted to sell
out for so cents on the dollar but have
picked up courage and such offers are
heard no more.
