Gratis Control Maryland.
Louisville, KY, Nov. 9.-No matter
! what result the face Of the returns O
Tuesdays election show, a contest II
very likely to occur. Additional re
turns received last night continue tt
show republican gains, and, basing ar
estimate upon the normal complexion
of the precincts still unreported, indi'
cate plurality Of 5000 or 5000 for W.
S. Taylor for governor. The belated
returns are mostly from mountain
counties which are strongly republican.
The Goebel people cling to their claim
Of a plurality Of 5000 in the state, these
figures being the estimate made by the
nominee hipself last night. At repub.
lican headquarters in this city Tav-
lor's plurality is placed at 5000. In
neither case is it possible to get the
figures upon which the claim is based.

IOWA RETURNS SLOW IN COMING.
Des Moines,, Ia, Nov. Collection re-
turns came in slowly yesterday but
continued to be more favorable to re-
publcans. Gov. Shaw's (rep.) plurali-
ty, which Tuesday night was figured
at $4,000, is now declared to be 81, 600
by the republican committee, the dem
ocrats conceding $4,000. Comparison
with the vote Of two years ago shows
republican gains, although the vote is
much lighter than then. Several coun-
ties heretofore democratic, notably
Monroe, have given good-sized repub-
lican pluralities. The 81 counties so
far reported give Shaw plurality of
40, SOl. Twenty-three counties are yet
to be heard from.
FusIoNIsTs CARRY NEBRASKA.

county returns yesterday do not mate
rally change the early estimates Of the

elect William Neville to congress over
Moses P. Kinkaid in the Sixth district,
but by q reduced majority, and gain
slightly in judicial districts. Chairman
Edmiston, Of the fusion state central
committee, insists that s. A. Holcomb
Is elected Judge Of the supreme court
by $4,000, probably more
