also Indicate the election of the entire
republican ticket, while the complexion
of the legislature is in doubt.
The weather throughout the state
was perfect and more than an aver
but little short of the vote polled in
the last presidential election. Com
paratively little disorder prevailed, and
aside from several arrests for alleged
violation of election laws, the election
was characterized by remarkable de-

Governor Bradley remained in Louis
vile during the day and had the Louis
Vile Legion in readiness for marching
orders. The militia was called out af-
ter the close of the polls to enforce an
injunction granted by a local judge,
but the presence of the militia was not
needed and the companies were soon
ordered back to the armory.
