| LOUISVILLE, Nov. 10.-The official
count of the ballots cast on Tuesday
was begun to-day throughout the
State. In this city large crowd gath
cred at the courthouse to witness the
count. Representatives of all the par
ties were admitted by the Commission
ers, and the examination OF the ballots
proceeded in an orderly manner. Judg-
ing from the progress already made, the
official returns will show no great vari-
alton from the unofficial figures, which
gives Louisville and Jefferson County
to the Republicans by plurality of
about 1900.
There was no change to-day in the
claims of the party managers. The
Democrats assert that Goebel will have
a plurality of 5000, while the nominee
himself places it at 1000. The Repub
licans claim that Taylor is elected by
plurality of 1000.
The Times (Goebel Democrat) has
the following special from London, KY:
State Chairman A. w. Young of the
Democratic Campaign Committee, is at
Barboursville seeking to have the en-
tire vote of Knox County thrown out.
Numbers of affidavits alleging fraud
and irregularities are being filed with
the County Board. 1t is believed Tay-
lors majority will be considerably re-
duced, if the county is not thrown out
entirely.
Official returns from Clay reduce
Taylor's majority to 907. No changes
have been made by the Canvassing
Board of Laurel County SO far. Tay-
lor's majority will remain 931. though
the Democrats will file affidavits with
the State Election Board at Frankfort
next Tuesday asking that three pre-
cincts be thrown out, which will re-
duce it,
| The Times has also the following
from. Bardstown, KY. concerning the
count in progress: "A serious techni-
cal error in the vote may increase Goe-.
bePs net Nelson County majority to
$50. In the official count it was dis
covered that in every precinct except
one w. P. instead of w. S. Taylor was
voted for, and the one precinct, New
Hope, gives w. S. Taylor, the Republi-
Car candidate, only 70, leaving the
crt,c:al vote as certified by the two
Democratic Commissioners as follows:
Goet eli 1859, w. s. Taylor 70, VIM. P
