LOUISVILLE. Ky. Nov. s.-Although the polls
! closed thIrty-slx hours sRo the election IL as
much In doubt as 1t has been at any time. 1t
will take the Official count TO decide who wins
In the face OF the returns. and then In all poss-
bility the Legislature will be called on TO rem
der the final decision. Doth sides are claim In z
the victory. The Democrats claim from 5000
TO 1000 while the Republicans claim from
5000 TO $4,000. There are still 300 precincts
or nearly one.siIth Of the State to hear from.
The official returns so far show a plurality OF
1887 for Gosbel. and nearly as much for tho
rest OF the ticket The precincts yet to be
heard from include many In the Eleventh dis
trct which Ia heavily Republican. and also
many scattered precincts in Dem cratc coun-
tics.
All reports received 90 far from the Elsv-
enth district show heavy Republican gains.
The district can ordinarily be counted on for
Republican majority OF from $4,000 to $4,000.
and recent gerrymanderInR will make IL oven
more solid. Tho returns so far from that
district give Taylor q plurality OF 11.1tS 40 It
will be seen that ut least 5000 more may
reasonably be expected.
The First district, strongly Democratic, has
shown big Republican gains. SO that the
precincts yet to be heard from there will
hardly swell the Democratic column to any
extent Unless there 10 more fraud in the
returns. Taylor should win by at least $500.
A telegram from Goebel to the Times this
afternoon said that advices assured him OF
1000 plurality aud a working majority In both
houses Of tho Legislature. Taylor IL also very
confident and went 30 far this afternoon a. to
issue the following statement:

The question OF the com pls Il ion Of tho Lsgis-
lature 10 very important. The Legislature IL
now Democratic and enough Representatives
were elected yesterday TO make 1t remain so.
but there IL considerable question as to
whether or not Goebel can control It. 1t Is
known that number OF the 'holdovers" are
against Goebel. and bitterly so. and will night
