~ impossible to get the total vote with
any degree of accuracy. The official
count in this, Jefferson county, has
not been announced, but Mckinley
gained about $50 votes on his plurality
OF IL, 31l. The last edition OF the Eve
ming Times sits Mckinley IS plurality in

over 100 more. The official count in most
every county heard from shows that
hast, the first Republican, and Smyth,
Demooratic, electors, lead their ticket by
from 80 to 1000 votes and this insures
Bryan one elector. At O'Clock bulle-
TIN issued from Republican headquarters
says in part: Kentucky has gone
Republican. for the first time in it's histo-
~ In Presidential year. Returns from
LII counties and reliable unofficial
counts from the other eight counties
gives Mckinley 456 plurality. AT 6
O'Clock Oh the morning after election we
realized that the result would be very
close and wired every county chairman
who could be reached to rush complete
unofh DIAL returns and to closely watch the
official count. On the strength of an
swers to tho messages issued bulletin
Wednesday evening which was pu blished
in all the Louisville papers saying among
other things: Inc Democrats will go
to the eleventh district with 1860 in
their favor. Returns from one half of
the counties of the 18th district already
in assure considerable over IA, 900 Re-
publican plurality. The official count
has resulted in occasional changes from
our unofficial figures but they have about
balanced each other and my figures of
Wednesday are practically confirmed by
the official count. At this writing our
most complete returns show that the
Democrats 60 to the eleventh district
with ID, 1888 in their favor and are met
there with Il, 1913 Republican plurality,
giving new plurality Of 456 for McKin-
