Louisville, KY, Nov. 4.-Election re-

a tremendous falling off from last years

cast. A falling off of over 100000 even
in an off year cannot be satisfactorily
explained by the bad weather that pre-

Nine Republican Judges Elected Out
of Thirteen.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. affection re
turns have been received at Republican
headquarters from 69 Kansas counties
out of 105, and of 6S counties at Popu-
list headquarters.
While both reports agree on large
Republican gains over the vote of 1896,
they are conflicting in comparison with
the vote of 1895, and this must be de-
termined by the official count.
The Republicans elect out of Is dis
trict judges as follows:
NJ. P. Simpson, in the Ninth district:
R. NJ. Picker, in the Fifteenth; Ansell
r. Clark, in the Twentieth; r. b. Spill
man, in the Twenty first; r. F. Thomp-
son, Thirtieth; F. T. Price. Thirty first:

Thompson. Thirty-fifth.
The Fusionists elect these judges:
John T. Burris, Tenth district; A. c.
T. Geiger. Seventeenth; w T. Mcbride,
Nineteenth, and ]. E. Andrews, Thirty
third.
About the election of these judges
there is no dispute. The Populist man
ayers late this afternoon conceded that
the result of the judicial elections was a
distinct victory for the Republicans.

THEATRICAL MANAGER ASSIGNS.
Oscar Hammerstein Physically I'm
able to Conduct Business.

New York, Nov. 4.-Oscar Hammer
stein, the theatrical manager, today
assigned for the benefit of creditors, to
Lewis J. Phillips. Speaking of his as
signment, Mr.. Hammerstein tonight
said:
L am physically unable at the pres
ent time to conduct the business of the
institution. I have made and superin-
tended in person three great produc-
tons within the past six weeks. They
were The Cat and the Cherub,' Grand
Opera Tableaux.' and La Powpee' By
the desertion of the principal woman
in La Powpee,' it will be necessary to
reorganize the production. am unable
to do this and attend to my finances.
In order to secure for my creditors
every dollar owing them, and at the
same time to avoid being harmed, L
have made an assignment My total
Indebtedness will hardly exceed $50
Co.,"
He said that it cost him 100000 to
bring Anna Held from Europe. The as
signment has brought all the perform
ances at the Olympia to a sudden stop.
The place was closed tonight. Hurtig
and Seaman, prOprietOrS of the Harlem
Opera House, are, it is said tonight,
negotiating for the purchase of the
Olympia.
Mr.. Hammerstein's attorney made the
following statement:
The liabilities will be between $780,
600 and $4,000 L regard the assignment
as 2 temporary matter. which would,
at the outset, have little visible effect
on Mr.. Hammerstein's affairs.
Mr.. Hammerstein's principal assets
are his theatrical properties, consisting
mainly of the Olympia. that cost him
$1,750. 900. There is a mortgage of $780,
900 on it. The mortgage is less than
the price of the land on which the
house stands. He also owns a residence
on West Twelfth street. and a factory
building or Tenth street.
When Hammerstein sold the Har-
lem Opera House, last January. he
cleaned up all his old debts and judg-
ments against him. He has been in
i'll health lately, and as business has
been poor. he thought it best TO clear
the atmosphere and take a rest"

The Democratic headquarters were
closed today and all the members of
the state committee have gone to their
respective homes. Before leaving, how
ever, Chairman Murray Vaniver gave
out the following statement:
As far as the joint convention of
the general assembly is concerned, the
matter is not entirely settled, and will
not be until the official returns are
made up.
In regard to the house of delegates,
j am Still of the opinion that the Demo-
Gratis will have a majority in that
body and will organize it. The cleo
ton in several of the counties is so
close that it is impossible to tell at
present which side has won, and 1 be-
lieVe a recount will be demanded in
Montgomery county by the Democrats,
who claim that they have elected at
least one, and possibly two members
Of the house, while the Republicans
claim they have elected all the force.
A recount may also be demanded in
Talbot and Carroll counties to deter
mine the result with certainty. At any
rate we have not given I'D our expec-
tation of controlling the house, whether
we have a majority on joint ballot or
not.
THE Democratic candidates who
have been defeated in the close coun-
ties have been. in many instances,
noted as anti-Gorman men, While in
the same counties the German men
have been elected. In one or two
instances which I could specify these
men were cut simply because they
were not believed German men. This
shows that the anti-Gorman outcry did
not hurt the Democrats in the coun-
ties where the senator always had his
stronghold. To a large extent am more
convinced than ever, by the result of
this election, that the anti-Gorman
sentiment is almost entirely confined to
the city of Baltimore, and the Demo-
Gratis of the counties are measure bly,
free from it. In my opinion, even if it
should turn out that the senator is de
feated, he is stronger today in the
country districts of the state than he
ever was
Among those most prominently men
toned as the probable successor to
Senator German are Alexander Shaw,
former Congressman Findlay, Post
master General Gary and Congressman
Mudd.

General Gary received advices today

Senator Thurston's Explanation Of
Defeat of His Party.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Senator John NJ
Thurston, of Nebraska, arrived in the
city last night from his recent cam
patgning trip throughout the state. He
said the result there was no disappoint-
ment to him in view of the handicap
in which the Republicans labored I'M
der because of their defaulting state
treasurer and auditor as well as the
prejudice aroused against the ticket as
representing the old state capital
crowd. He was of the opinion that
the general result, especially in New
York, instead of foreshadowing Bry-
ans nomination in 1900 and a free sill
yer platform, pointed in quite differ
ent direction.
Il think the result in New York" ne
said, points to that state as likely to
name the presidential candidate for the
Democrats in 1900 as we'll as to the
probability that silver will not be an
issue. Certainly the Democrats cannot
hope to succeed without New York and
on the silver issue l am firmly of the
opinion that the state will practically
repeat it's verdict of 1886"
