1T looks as though by his jntermcd-
ding that he may make trouble today
in Louisville
Louisville, Ky, Nov. "a quiet and
orderly election may be predicted for To-
morrow. While the feeling between the
factions is at rather high tension, the
general apprehension, it is thought, will
to more to lessen the likelihood of an
outbreak than the precautionary activity
which has been noticeable today among
those who are directing the movements
of the municipal police and the State
National Guard.
If Il clash occur, it is most likely TO hc
in Louisville.
At Bowling Green there has been q
particularly bitter fight between thc
Democratic factions, and extra police
have been sworn in. But at this and
other larger towns nothing more serious
than the usual election day casualties
is expected.
In Louisville the greatest feeling has
been aroused. One Democratic faction
controls the police, while me other has
made the alleged interference of these
officers with the local primary and cleo
ton machinery one of its principal cam
paign cries. Mayor Weaver has issued
a proclamation appealing for order and
cautioning the police.
Governor Bradley is in the city, and
will remain here until after the election.
A number of reports have been current
today as to orders said to have been
sent to militia companies throughout the
State to hold themselves in readiness
for call. The usual detail of men
placed on guard at the armory of the
Louisville Legion in this city at elec-
tions times is on duty. In this state or
preparedness, the authorities are wait
ing for the passing Of tomorrow Be
yond The anxiety which springs from
knowledge of the feeling aroused in the
campaign and the possibility, always
present in a city election, of an out
break of trouble witha certain class of
political workers, there is nothing OF in
dicate that the services of the militia
will be required.
The campaign closed tonight with
large meetings which were addressed
by the State party leaderes. The Demo
Gratis crowded Music Hall to listen to
the final speeches of their leaders, Viii
lilam Goebel and Senator Blackburn
The Republicans held a rousing meeting
at the Auditorium, where the candidates
and others spoke.
Each of the State chairmen predicts
success for his ticket. The vote for
the Brown Democratic ticket is an I'M
known quantity, and it is likely to be the
determining factor.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. Ga special to
the Times from Lexington, Ky, says

day.

Frankfort, Ky, Nov 6.-State Amor-
er Dixon, acting under orders from Gov

telnoon 10000 rounds of cartridges to

ALL THREE CANDIDATES SURE.
Cincinnati, o., Nov. 6.-There are six
candidates for Governor to be voted for
I'M Chic tomorrow. Three of them claim
their election is sure. The Jones vote
will reduce the vote ito all others includ-
ing that of the Prohibitionists, the Tn
ion REFORM and the Social Labor tickets,
and the result depends very Materially
Oh where MOST of the Jones vote will
come from. lit is certain that either
George *. Nash, Republican, or John X.
Mclean Democrat, will be elected. If
Jones plI.ls more from the Democrats
than from the Republicans, the predic-
tion of Chairman Dick that Judge Nash
VIII have 10000 plurality MAY be real
ized But if Chairman Seward is cor
recf in assuming that Jones viii draw
II uoh more heavily from the Republicans
tl.an from the Democrats then Mclean
will DE elected. The Democratic man7
ayers have much capital ont of the fact

hcan, THAT he was himself connected with
