KENTUCKY rs VERY CLOSE.
The Republicans Seem to he Ahend-A Re-
pubiicnn senator Sure.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. At will require the
official count to decide Kentucky. The Repub-
licans claim that their plurality will be about
1850. They have returns from all but FIVE
counties. These returns give Bryan 1000 plur-
allty. The Ave counties they estimate will give
1850 to Mckinley.
The Courier-Journd has unofficial returns
from four OF the missing counties. and the four
give but l.450 plurality TO Mckinley. The miss
ing county IL Leslie. which gave Gov. Bradley
71e plurality. and on the SAM basis this year
would give the State to Mckinley by 200.
Other returns received by the Republican
Campaign Committee give Bryan a plurality of
13,470 votes. leaving out the Eleventh district.
Congressman Colson of the Eleventh district
telegraphs the that Mckinley re-
ceived 1920 plurality in this district. with Eve
strong Republican counties out. On this basis
the committee claims the State by 1000 to
1900. The Silver Committee claims the State
by 2,100.
Special elections were held yesterday to NIL
nine vacancies in the Legislature. The Ropub-
| licans elected all but one of their candidates,
| and this gives them 20 votes. n quorum and q
majority on Joint ballot. The Silver Demo-
Gratis have 40 on Joint ballot. counting the 2
Populists. and the sound money Democrats
| have only 22. Under the circumstance 1t is to
be supposed that the Republicans will elect one
of their own party to succeed Senator Black
burn, although there has been some talk of
honoring Mr.. Carlisle.
Gov. Bradley will call an extra session at
| once, 1t 10 believed, and a Senator will be
| chosen. st. John Boyle was the Republican
caucus nominee last year and wants to run
| again, but he was q silver man until last year
| and therefore not acceptable to the party at
large. GOV. Bradley may take the Office himself.
LEXINGTON. KY, Nov. 4.-Kentucky seems to
be very close. with the chances in favor Of Nc
Kinley. The most trustworthy estimates, based
on returns received up to s o'clock, show that
| McKiulcy's plurality is 1865. The Eleventh
Congress district, composed exclusively of
mountain counties, cannot be heard from for
several days, for the reason that telegraph COM
munication cannot be had with it.
The stimat figure on this district giving
Mckinley 1900 majority, which Is 2,400 less
than the Republican majority last year. The
! mountain section of Kentucky, so far as heard
from. scarcely warrants the belief that it will
fall off in Republican majorities from last year,
and many well-informed politicians think it
will increase McKinley's majority to three or
four thousand.
Col. breckenridge 10 defeated for Congress in
the Ashland district by the silver Democrat
Evan Settle by 1900 majority. Breckenridge
charges fraud against Settle and his managers,
and the election will probably be taken into the
courts.

Chairman Byuuni says That the National
Party Will Give Up.
CHICAGO. Nov.4.-The Sound Money Democ-
racy" is no more. 1t has fulfilled its mission
and is dead. w. d. Bynum. Chairman of the
National Committee. admitted to-day that no
further efforts would be made to organize the
party or keep 1t alive. 1t failed to poll its .
per cent. in Illinois. and has no existence as a
party organization in this State. 1t could not
put a candidate on any official ballot except by
petition.
In some Southern States. where negro domi-
nation is a more important local issue. the party
may have a lingering life. Late returns from
Kentucky, Tennessee. and Louisiana may show
that the required percentage for representation
on the official ballot was polled there, and an
effort may be made to keep alive the party or
ganization for local purposes.
W. have accomplished our mission" said
Chairman Bynum. in discussing the issue. Tho
principle for which we cOntended has been vim
dictated. There is nothing more to be done or
said. In this State wa failed to poll the . per
cent. necessary to representation on the Official
ballot, so the party organization falls, to the
ground. | believe no efforts will be made to re-
organize or keep up the Central Committee or
State Committees. We probably will never call

Palmer and Bucknpr will receive not over
