CINCINNATI, Ohio, November S.-The
following Western Union bulletin was is
sued this afternoon:
Kentucky, with complete reports from SO
counties and incomplete reports from "a,
making a total of 10 out of 119 in state,
GoebeI (dem) has 124.912 votes; Taylor,
123, 1873; Brown, 1850 This leaves Goebels
plurality in the counties heard from LIZA.
AT this time, judging from the informa-
ton at hand and assuming that there will
be no republican loss in the missing coun-
ties, and it seems improbable that there will
be any, Taylor's plurality will be between
1000 and 5000
Blackburn Claims State.
FRANKFORT, KY. November Sat
GoebeI headquarters this morning former
Senator Blackburn says:
The republicans must carry Jefferson
county by over 4,500 to win, and our in
formation is they have failed to do this.
Democratic majority while small is safe
and our ticket is elected. Democrats will
have majority in both houses of the legisla-
ture. Our majority On joint ballot will be
at least Il and probably more
The Claims in Louisville.
LOUISVILLE Ky, November s.-With
returns from ali but thirteen counties in
the state some of which are unofficial, and
with the vote of 81 as the basis of calcula-
ton, at the same ratio of republican gains
TayIor's plurality in the state figured 6,IOo.
A majority of the missing counties are
from the eleventh district. which is largely
republican. At republican headquarters it
is still maintained that Taylor's plurality
will reach 1900.
Complete returns from every precinct in
the city of Louisville give Goebel 15,G06,
Brown, 2749 and Taylor 1850, giving
Taylor a plurality of 3,254.
Returns from many mountain counties
are still delayed, but from unofficial re-
ports and estimates in the missing coun-
ties Taylor's plurality Will not be material
ly changed from the estimate made. Chair
man Long of the republican committee
said at / pm: I'VE have received official
returns from twO-thirds of the counties,
and those. based upon very conservative
estimates from the missing counties, give
Taylor plurality Of from 5000 to 10000.
AS the reports come in they are more ia
vorable and will undoubtedly increase the
republican plurality. Every effort has
been made to circumvent any fraud, should
it be attempted"
Another Claim for Taylor.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
LOUISVILLE. KY, November s-With
twelve counties missing, four of them
largely republican, Taylors majority in the
state is over GOO. Republican Campaign
Chairman Long at noon claims the state
safely by over 10000, and thinks the ma
jority will be near 1900.
At Frankfort GoebeTs campaign man
aser. ex-senator Blackburn, is claiming the
state by 1,200. He says the democrats will
have twelve majority on Joint ballot in the
legislature, and probably more.
The Posts noon extra says Taylor's ma
jority is safely 1000, and says the legisla-
ture is close, but that the democrats will
probably have a majority.
Kenton county, Goebel's home, has not
yet fully reported. 1t is claimed that the
Goebelites are holding these returns back.
Conservative Goebelites here concede Tay-
lor's election by less than 5000. Local
Goebelites are comforting here, and, it is
said, will probably decide to contest Louis
vile's vote, claiming the militia were used
by the opposition to terrorize voters. Tay-
lor's plurality in Louisville and Jefferson
county (officiaD is 3,032.
A telegram was received today at the
pension office from Mr.. John Speed Smith
of that bureau from Richmond, KY, where
he went some days ago to vote the republi-
can ticket. He said:
I'VE have carried everything in this
(Madison) county and have got the state.
