LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov by the
combined efforts Of the Republicans and
anti-Goebelites, Attorney General W. S.
Taylor RepD has been elected governor
of Kentucky by a majority estimated at
about 1000 over GoebeI Dem). Returns
received up to midnight also indicate the
election Of the entire Republican ticket,
while the complexion of the legislature
is in doubt.
The weather throughout the state was
perfect and more than an average vote
was polled, the total falling but little
short Of the vote polIed in the last pres
idential election. Comparatively no dis
order prevailed, and aside from several
arrests for alleged violations of election
laws. the election was characterized by
d remarkable degree of quiet.
Gov. Bradley remained in Louisville
during the day, and had the Louisville
Legion in readiness for marching orders
The militia was called out after the close
of the polls to enforce an injunction
granted by local judge, but the presence
of the militia was not needed, and the
companies were soon ordered back to the
armory.
Chairman Long, of the Republican cam
paign committee, said at midnight that
Taylor's plurality would not be less than
5000. This estimate, he said, was based
upon estimates received from a majority
of the counties in the state. Gov Brad
ley estimates Taylor's plurality at from
5000 to $4,000.
At midnight there were still many miss
ing precincts, but 1S1 of 203 In the city Of
Louisville and Jefferson county gave Tay-
lor e, plurality of 1852. With all the re-
turns in and the present ratio CT R1epub-
Hcan gains maintained TayIor's majority
in the city will reach 1900
Chairman Long, of the Republican state
committee, sad he returns received up to
this hour indicate steady Republican
gains in the state over the vote Of 1896
At midnight Chairman Long, Of the Re
=, 1lican campaign committee, claimed
that Taylor had carried the state by from
10000 to 1900 majority. He said that
Taylor had carried the Third, Fourth,
Fifth, Ninth and Eleventh congressional
districts, while the Eighth and Tenth are
close. The Republicans have made heavy
gains in most Of the Democratic strong
holds, which were expected to give Goebel
large majorities. Chairman Long claims
the Republicans have carried the city of
Louisville by from 5000 to 5000 majority.
The Courier-Journa1 (Dem.), from its
figures, says the result is In doubt
The Post Oem.), which has opposed
Goebel, claims Taylor's election by 10, 900.
LEGISLATIVE ESTIMATE
Chairman Long gave out the following
statement at 1 a. m. regarding the next
legislature:
1.-The Republicans have elected ten SEN
ators out Of nineteen, sure Three more
are believed to be elected, but the re-
turns are not complete, while one IS in
doubt. There are two Republican hold
overs and six anti-Goebel hold-overs. In
the house the Republicans have elected
Al members certain, and the Democrats
35 and the anti-GOebel Democrats s. The
districts in doubt and not heard from are
nineteen, which include Campbell and
Kent counties and three districts in the
city of Louisville. This insures a fusion
majority in the house against the Goebel
law and probably a Republican majority -

Later returns tend to confirm the Re-
publican claims Of victory and while the
majority will not reach their estimated
figure the returns received up to 1 O'Clock
continue to show Republican gains. and
a plurality Of 1000 Is conceded by manv
of the Democratic leaders, while some of
the more faithful are claiming a plurality
