LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 3-9:15 P. M
The returns of the Courier-Journal and
Evening Times and the Republican State
Committee indicate that Mckinley has
carried Kentucky by at least 1900 plural
ity. Republican landsl:des are reported
from many counties which have hereto
fore been Democratic strongholds.
Ore hundred and thirty three out of 1877
precincts in the city of Louisville give Nc
Kinley %, 81, Bryan 2S5. Louisville in
1892 gave Cleveland II. CSC, Harrison H.
! $40. The returns from this State are
coming in slowly. One hundred and
thirty-nine out of 1863 precincts in the
State show Republican gain of 4011 over
1892. Colonel w. c. P. Breckiuridge. who
is on the Republican ballot as a candidate
for Congress in the Seventh District, is
running behind the Republican ticket, but
the heavy Republican vote in Franklin
County may pull him through.
In this city Mayor George D. Todd, R.,
is reelected by 5000 plurality over Charles
d. Jacob, Ind.
There are no complete returns in from
any Congressional district except this. the

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 3.-Lexington
and Fayette counties give Mckinley
5591, Bryan 1851, Palmer 81, Breckinridge
510S, Settle 4001.
Indications are that Chief Justice Prior,
D., is defeated for reelection by C. Bow
man, R., IN the Fifth Appellate District.
Congressman A. S. Berry is probably re-
elected in the Sixth District. Contests in
the First, Third and Fourth districts are
very close. Others stand as sent early in
the night.
The vote in Louisville and Jefferson
County, with one precinct missing, is:
Mckinley 2S s21, Bryan 16, ,537, Palmer and
Buckner 1899. The vote in 1892 was Har-
rison IA, ,406. Cleveland 2O,SO0. The Popu-
list vote does not seem to have cut much
figure in the fusion with the free-silver
Democrats. The National Democratic
vote, which went solid for Mckinley, car
ried the State for Mckinley. At midnight
the editor of the Evening Times places
McKinley's majority in Kentucky at over
10000, with good prospects of going to
10000.
Kentucky has gone for Mckinley by a
larger majority than it gave to Bradley
last year. Early returns indicated Is, 600
to 10000 majority, but surprisingly heavy
Democratic gains in the PopuIist free
silver strongholds of Western Kentucky
may reduce this to 10000 or Il. 600.
The Repu blicans have elected Con ress-
men in SIX districts and several are in
doubt. Those elected are Hunter in the
Third. Evans in the Fifth, Dawson in the
Eighth, Pugh in the Ninth, Langley in
the Tenth and Colson in the Eleventh.
