barment of Welcome on the ground
that his connection Herewith was un-
professional. 1t is generally understood
that Welcome and Whiteside are mere
figureheads, Marcus DAILY and w. A.

that the proceedings were Instituted to
show corruption in the manner of

lished fact that on last Friday a sharp
but not important engagement took
place between Ladysmith and Colenso,
that the advantage lay with us, and
that the Boer advance to Colenso re-
ceived check, the most significant cir
cumstance lately recorded is the cross
ing of the Tugela by a train on Sunday.
This means only the interruption Of the
line south of Ladysmith, and is be-
tween that station and Colenso, and
this is probably not serious.
The statement that preparations are
in progress for the mobilization of a
fresh infantry division and siege train
will be received with general satisfac-
ton.
"As regards the latter, no time has
really been lost, as the guns could not
have been sent to the front before, and
as it is, they will probably be delayed
by breaks in the, railway commuica-
ton, which the Beers have shown such
particular zeal in effecting,'

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 1O.-The uncer-
eaiii's regarding the result of Tues
days election in this state is not likely
to be removed for some time. Both
sides still claim a victory. The state
chairman of each party is asserting
that his ticket has a plurality of 4.oOO.
Newspaper returns from republican
sources give Taylor plurality of 3.43s,
while those from democratic sources
make Goebe!'s plurality 491, with some
returns estimated and thirty-fiv pre-
cincts unreported. Nothing short of the
official count will determine the result
and it is foregone conclusion that the
announcement of that count will sim
ply change the scene of conflict to the
courts or the legislature.
The Indications point more strongly
than ever to a contest before the legis-
lature, which, there seems no reasona-
BILE doubt will be controlled by the
democrats.
Whether or not the members belong

ana others not mentioned. Chairman
Weaver succeeded in arousing the pa
triotism of the local workers all over
the state, with a few exceptions, so
that they attended to business and got
the republican Vote TO the polls better
than was expeced. This fear and un-
certainty OF what effect the new issue
OF imperialism and "militarism', was
going To have helped him to do this,
and the strength of the ticket, led by
Governor Shaw, made it easier to
arouse interest in the campaign. The
governor earned his own way. in every
sense of the word AIr. Weaver mod
esliy says now thSt the local workers
did it all, and so they did finally; but
if they had not been awakened to the.
necessity of doing it, they would now
have a different feeling and different
record. Chairman Weaver's thorough
ana business-like methods show that
he is good discovery for a presiden-
tial campaign.
The Cuminins people were afraid,
V
not treat them fairly, but though some
OF them adhered TO that opinion, as
controlling their purses throughout the
campaign, they certainly know now
that there was no Foundation in any
thing Mr.. Weaver did as chairman for
any such suspicion. He sustained the
Cummins men and the Gear men with
equal interest. as the returns and con-
duct of the campaign VIII show, and as
the Register has taken pains 10 say
with emphasis.
Mr. Cumnins has made splendid
campaign this year. as he always does.
and long before its close found himself
in such a bad physical condition that
he should. in consideration for his
health, have withdrawn from the cam
paign. AS it was, he cancelled two or
three appointments and went on. He
is thoroughly Worn cut. Campaigning
day after day night after night. going
from place to place at all hours and un-
der constantly changing conditions OF
diet and sleep, is hard for the best of
them. Mr. Cunmins, who is now a
grandfather himself, had besides the
ordinary wear and tear of a speaking
campaign the anxieties of the sena-
toria contest, and it was more than
one man could be expected TO endure
without serious results But his
strength and health Will return with
the removal of the causes, for he has
