LATE RETURNS FAVOR G0EBEL.

Republicans Claim Tayior's Electi ON by
From 5000 to 8,OO0-Returns Received
by tho Courler-Journal Give GOebel .
Lead OF 1000.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 9.-Returns re-
ceived by The Courier Journal up to
1870 a. m. give Goebel plurality OF
2,070 votes. These figures are based on
returns from 1871 out Of 1868 precincts.
OF the 70 missing precincts, 20 are in
the Republican Eleventh district, are
in Republican counties Of the Tenth
district and 81 are in Democratic coun-
ties of the Tenth district.
Returns received by The Courier
journal give Goebel plurality in the
state outside of the Eleventh district Of
1890. The Eleventh district, as far as
received, shows the usual Republican
majorities. Six counties in this dis
trict, which Tuesday night reported
Taylor pluralities, send revised figures
increasing these pluralities by 1900
On the other hand Goebel's plurality in
the First district, in the extreme west
ern part of the state, the banner Demo-
cratic district, increases its plurality for
Goebel several hundred yer the figures
returned Tuesday night.

RESULT IN OHIO.
Nasl,'s Plurality Is Now Placed at Over
Fifty Thousand.

Nash's Plurality Is Now Placed mt Over
Fifty Thousand.
COLUMBUS, Nov. 9.-The statisticians
at the Republican headquarters have
been busy all day endeavoring to secure
some accurate figure on the plurality Of
Judge Nash, the Republican candidate
for governor, and an Unofficial table of
pluralities by counties was completed.
This shows that in 81 counties Nash has
81, 1893 over Mclean and in 81 counties
Mclean has ,035 over Nash. This
gives Nash over Mclean in the state
30, 1854. 1t is not believed the official
returns will make any important change
In these figures. No figures are avail
able on the total vote i'll the state, as
the committee sought to obtain only
pluralities.
Notwithstanding efforts were made to
get the vote for Jones, returns have
been secured from only 80 counties.
These include the counties in which
the heaviest Jones vote was polled, and
show q total of $1,000. The remaining
counties will swell the Jones vote to
100000.
The Republican figures OH the legis
lature are: House, Republicans, 81;
Democrats, 45; doubtful, 3. Senate,
Republicans. IS; Democrats, Ill; doubt

ESTCoURT, Natal, Nov. 9.--Firing was
heard yesterday morning III the direc-
ton of Colenso, from whichit is believed
the Beers have resumed the lombard
ment of IAdysmith.
CoLEsBURG. Nov. 9.--lt is reported
that 1000 Beers have left Pretoria and
are going to protect the southern border
of the Orange Free State. They are
said to be accompanied by large con-
tingent of German artillery, with
quick firing guns of heavy caliber.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-To the eyes of mil
itary experts the darkest page of the
war is now being written. But even
that is being illuminated with bright
passages, such as General Whites victo-
rious sorties. If he can keep the Brit
ish flag flying over Ladysmith until he
is relieved the campaign will turn a
fresh page, and with the advent Of Cen
eral Buffers force the British public
is promised more cheerful reading. The
feeling of relief inspired by recent good
tidings is nevertheless tinged by Il GER
tain anxiety lest General White may
again make some fatal miscalculat!on.
The most interesting news today is a
telegram from Estcourt announcing the
departure of "a strong force of mounted
troops and artillery for destination
not given. Another message announces
the arrival at Estcourt and Pietermar-
itzburg within the last few days of re-
Inducements from Durham and that
$500 troops are assembled ready for an
advance to Colenso when the opportune
moment arrives. The latter dispatch
throws light on the former, and the
force which left Estcourt Monday has
doubtless reoccupied Colenso, and is
doubtless now advancing cautiously up
the railroad toward Ladysmith, General
Whites sortie Friday almost to the
banks of the Tugela river encouraging
its commander in the hope Of joining
hands with him.
General Joubert, it is said, drew i'll
his horns after Fridays engagement and
has since Withdrawn the southern Boer
contingent, leaving only outposts on the
line from Ladysmith to Colenso. The
Beers who occupied Colenso about the
middle of last week retired without
damaging Bulwer bridge over the river
nor the railroad as far north as the vii
lage of NelthrOpe, seven miles south OF
Ladysmith. Evidently they nurse II
hope of eventually using both i'll their
descent on Pietermaritzburg. Mean
time the British are able to use both, as
they have already done, i'll running up
an armored train, which may at the
present moment be covering the advance
of the Estcourt advance,
The situation looks brighter at MAIZE
king, where the Beers are apparently
disheartened at the unexpected resist
ance, large body of their force having
been detached to the south to assist i'll
the investment OF Kimberley, around
which the Gordon is drawing tighter
Evidently the Beers intend to make II
concentrated effort To capture Kimber-
ley and their arch cnony, Cecil Rhodes.

BALTIMORE Nov. 9.-Returns from

state show that the Democrats practi-
cally swept everything before them in

DR.. Joshua Herring and Isidor Raynor,
their candidates for governor, comp
troller and attorney general respect
lively, were elected over the Republican
candidates by approximately 1890
majority. They elected II state sena-
tors for four year terms, which with
their four holdovers will give them 10
out of atotal membership of 20 in the

In the lower house, composed of 81
members, the Democrats elected Sc,
while the Republicans will have only
25 delegates in the Legislature to meet
in January of next year. The plurality
in Baltimore city of all the Democratic
candidates runs close up to those of the
leaders OH the ticket, while in the coun.
ties local prejudices cut down the ma
jorities of successful candidates for To-
cal offices. Many theories have been
advanced as to the cause of the Demo-
cratic landslide but careful analysis
shows that the Independent Democratic
voters supported Colonel Smith, while
many disgruntled Republicans either
remained away from the polls or cast
their ballots for the Democratic candi-
date. A special election in the first

New YORK, Nov. 9.-Returiis re,
ceived froniup the state increase the
Republican assemblymen to 93, against.
81 Democrats, Republican gain OF l2.
In New York county the largest Tam
many plurality was. that of the candi-
date for surrogate, Abner G. Thomas,
$3.50. He was formerly q Henry
George leader. Ex-Justicei Joseph Dalv.
fusion candidate for supreme judg.
who was expected to get many Demo-
cratic votes, did not head the poll foc
his ticket. The independent labor vote
as Indicated by the voto for John s.
Crosby for supreme jaGe., was 5,700, or
5000 less than the Socialist vote. The
Tammany pluralties in tbs several
counties are about normal, the gains of
assemblymen i'll this city being largely
due to combinations with Cit;zens'
union and laborm men against Republican
candidates. Richard Croker again ex-
pressed his regret that the Democrats up
the state chad no organization, AMI
although he did not say so, it is inferred
that Tammany hopes to organize the
whole state for the campaign of 1910.
Mr.. Croker pointed to Nebraska as an
illustration of what energetic work will
do. Senator Platt and Asscnblyman
Mazet denied interviews in which they
were credited with saying that Assem-.
blyman Stewards seat would surely DO
contested. They said that contest
would be made only in case convincing
proof of fraud was discovered.
