half dozen of Wilmington toughs whose
occupation in Wilmington is bumming
and robbery. They came hero to preserve
order when no disorder existed.
Every one was further surprised when

Kentucky's Very Close Vote.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 6--The result in Ken
lucky on presidential electors Is more in
doubt than ever Tho revision Of figures

for either side down to Il very small mar

for Bryan by 800 to 1000, while the Ro.
pubicans claim 1t for Mckinley by 500.
The vote is 50 close that the official returns
will be necessary TO determine the result.
