timated at about 10000 over Goebel

of the Legislature is in doubt.
The weather throughout the State
was perfect, and more than an average
vote was polied, the total falling but
little short of the vote polled in the last
Presidential election. Comparatively
little disorder prevailed, and aside from
several arrests for,-alleged violations
of election laws the election was char

quietude.

Campaign Committee, said at midnight

man Long claimed Louisville for the
Republicans by from 5000 to 5000 ma

junction issued by Judge Toney of the
Circuit Court shortly before noon, re-
straining the city officers and officers
of election from interfering with the
Brown inspectors. About the middle
of the afternoon the Republicans secur-
ed a similar order for their inspectors
or representatives, on representations
that they were threatened with inter-
ference In a number of places the in
spectors were refused recognition, and
Governor Bradley's order for troops to
go to the polls was made upon state
ment by Judge Toney reciting this state
of affairs Judge Toney's letter to Gov
ernor Bradley follows:

voting precincts to witness and inspect

me that these injunctions are being

that the laws are executed as you may
deem proper under the circumstances

disorder and no trouble and that there
was no occasion for action by the State
authorities; that Judge Toney had moi
