-. LOUISVILLE, Nov. 9.-The following
statement has been given out from the
Republican headquarters :, 49,
practically complete official returns
give Mckinley 444 plurality in Ken
lucky, 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 a judge of the
highest court, of the state for an eight
year term, and by the filing of vacan-
cies have secured a majority of two in
the general assembly on joint ballot,
which insures a Republican successor to
Senator Blackburn.
''The total vote in the state will ap-
proximate 425, 900, an increase of 1000
over last years vote and $4,000 more
than the highest estimates before the
election. The Republican vote in.
creased, about 100000 over Governor
Bradley's vote ga year ago, which was
ri; 600 higher than ever before cast in a
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.

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.
nations. In Kentucky the vote is ex-
tremely close, but it is believed the
state will go for Mckinley by a 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 276 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-
