CLOSE VOTE ~ KENTUcKy
Louisville, KY, Nov. 4.-AtS O'clock
Kentucky seems safe for Mckinley,
though the vote is close. In l, 265 pre-
cincts our Of 1,663 his plurality is
3,506. The .coppties not heard from
arc Leslie. Floyd, johnson, Knott, Ma
coffin, Pike, Butler, Greenup, Har-
rison, Jackson Owen and part of
Henry. These INCLUDE strong Republi-
can as well as strong silver counties,
bur the heavy Republican gains every
where seem to nuke the State safe for
Mckinley. Taking the estimate of the
missing cou1ties, made several days
ago by Chairman Sommers of tho
Democratic Committee, the Mckinley
majority of the missing vote would be
1,23S. This would give the State to
Mckinley by 4. 744.

cans have elected four of the remaining
