NO STARTLING CHANGES.
LOUISVILLE. KY. November 1.-THE
second day of the official count has dis
closed no startling changes from the UNI
official figures. Both sides still claim
rhe State, though the Democratic esti-
mate was somewhat reduced to-day Re-
ports from over ninety of the ll9 coun-
ties give G0ebe! a plurality of q little
over 1900 votes, on the official count. The
DEMOCRATIC unofficial reports from the
remaining counties show enough Taylor
pluralities to wipe this out and leave
margin ,for the Republican candidate.
Much depends, however. upon contests
being made in several counties, on the
ground of alleged Irregularities The de-
termination Of these points may cause
change from present estimates of the re-
suits.
