Louisville, KY. Nov. 1o.-The officia
count of the ballots cast on Tuesday
was begun to-day throughout the state
In this city large crowd gathered al
the court house to witness the count
Representatives of all the parties were
admitted by the commissioners and the
examination of the ballots proceeded in
an orderly manner. Judging from the
progress already made, the official re-
turns will show no great variation
from the unofficial figures which give
louisville and Jefferson county to the
republicans by a plurality of about
5000
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

elected by plurality Of 4.0OO The
Times, Goebel democrat, has the fol-
lowing 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 affldavits alleging fraud
and Irregularities are being filed with
the county board. 1t is believed Tay-
lor's majority will be considerably re-
duced, if the county is not thrown out
entirely
"Oficial returns from Clay reduce
Taylor's majority to 907. No changes
have been made by the canvassing
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 reduce
it,"
The Times has also the following
from Barbstown, Ky. concerning the
count in progress there:

ier-Journal from counties where the Of
