POSSIBILITY OF CsTBkEAh'
Beyond the anxiety which SPRINGS from
a knowledge of the feeling aroused III inc
caupaign and the possibility. always pres
emit i'm a city election. Of an outbreak OF
trouble with certain class Of political
workers. there is nothing TO Indicate that
the militia will be required.
The campaign closed iO-night with large
meetings. which were addressed By the
state party leaders. The Democrats
crowded Music Hall 10 listen 10 the maj
speeches of their leaders William Goebel
and Senator Blackburn. The Republicans
held a rousing meeting at the Auditorium
az which the candidates and others spoke.
Each Of the State chairmen predicts sue
cess for his ticket. The vote OF the

PREPARING FOR EMERGENCY.
FRANKFORT. KY, Nov. 6.-State
Armorer Dixon. acting under orders from
Governor Bradley sent by express TINS
afternoon 10000 rounds Of cartridges 10
the Louisville Legion. In anticipation OF
call out on election day. Large consign-
ments were also shipped to Covington'
Newport and Lexington.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov Ga special 10
the Times from Lexington, Ky, says;
AS a result Of the visit OF Major Colstoh
here last night, the second Kentucky
Calling gun was shipped to LOUISVILLE
to-day.
The Second Kentucky State Guard Is
expected to be called TO Louisville
Governor Bradley in his capacity as
commandment -chief of the State national
guard. Is the central figure in the political
situation tonight. The Governor believes
the sltuation TO be so strained that he
will not go to his home in Lancaster, only
about 100 miles from Louisville TO cast
his vote tomorrow, and cancelled an en-
gagement he had made 10 speak tonight.
The expectation that the Governor will
call out the militia during the day finds
expression among men OF both parties.
The prOyocation may occur through the
attempts of the devised election officers
to hold their places or through conflicts
with the police in some OF the downtown
wards. II the militia is called out, II may
result in the closing of the polls by tAe
local election officers on the ground tSt
the presence Of soldiers prevented free
expression Of popular will. or. II the
DOLLS remain open, IL may result in action
by the state election officers throwing out
the vote of Jefferson county on the same
ground Of military interference. In either
event the counting or throwing out OF the
Louisville vote. very likely. would deter
mine the result Of the election.

braska campaign closed tonight with
rallies in a number Of the larger towns.

headquarters during the day. but much
activity in the way OF sending out final

and POpulist headquarters do not vary
greatly, ana conservative men Of both
sides believe the result Will be close.
Governor Pointer predicted Ex-Governor
Holcolmb's election as judge by 1900.
There have been the usual warnings by
both committees to look out for crooked
work, but no trouble is expected at the
polls.
MISSISSIPPI
JACKSON, MISS, Nov. 6.-The exc OF
Mississippi State elections presents no
features Of special interest. Considerable
sentiment has been manifested in oppo-
sitlon 10 the Noel amendment providing
for an elective judiciary. 1t looks very

the Populists admit that there will be a
very visible decrease from their vote OF
1896.

members OF the Legislature from two and
probably three counties. Cherew and
