What the Issue Depends Upon.

The complexion Of the returns to be
presented to the state board of election
commissioners when it meets in Frank
fort next month still depends upon the
determination of the contests which
are being raised in several parts of the
state. notably the strongly Republican
counties of the Eleventh district. where
the Democrats claim that tissue ballots
were used. These contests have aroused
much feeling in the localities affected.
one of them involves the vote of Knox
county. which gave Taylor ,39S plural
ity. Yesterday Barbourvillo. the coun-
" seat. was visited by hundreds of
people interested in the result. their
avowed purpose being TO see that JUS
