KENTUCKY CLOSE.

The greatest contest of the day was
that in Kentucky, which only exceeded
in interest the contest in Ohio, because
Of the intense personal feeling of the
Bourbonites. In Kentucky the result
is still in doubt, with both sides claim
ing that their side had won. 1t will
take the official count to determine the
contest. It is expected that there will
be contest in Kentucky, and it is de-
clared by the Democrats that Goebel
will be seated as governor.
OHIO GOES REPUBLICAN.
The Ohio contest was surprise, as
it was thought that Mclean would run
stronger than the returns show that he
did. The vote for Golden Rule"
Jones was large in the cities, and 4"
undoubtedly caused the DETECTION FROM
the Democratic vote in Cincinnati,
Cleveland and other big cities, contrib
uting in large degree, if not being en-
tirely responsible, for the defeat of Mr..
Mclean. The Republicans exerted
every effort possible to save Ohio for
their party, and the argument was
made that President Mckinley should
be endorsed in his home state, and the
result IF the election may be attributed
in part to desire to sustain the presi-
dent because of state pride. Nash, Re-
publican candidate for goyernor.gil-
have majority Of about 1000 pla'
rality.
BRYAN's FINE VICTORY.
The great victory won by the fusion
lists in Nebraska again demonstrates the
popularity of William J. Bryan in his
home state and there is great rejoicing
among his personal friends that the ef-
forts made by the administration to
cripple his strength have failed. The
fusion majority will not be less than
IL, 900 and may reach $4,000. Repub-
licans make no effort to explain the
causes, although number of leaders
in this city, differ with W. j. Bryan il
his statement tha. it is rebuke to the
national administration.
DEMOCRATS SWEEP MARYLAND.
Unofficial returns from Baltimore
city and all the counties OF the State
show that the Democrats swept practi-
cally everything before them in last
weeks contest. John Walter Smith,
DR.. Joshua Herring and Isador Rayner,
their candidates for governor, comp
t1oller and attorney general, respect
lively, were elected over the Republican
candidates by approximately 1890
majority. The official count, it is
thought, vii, not materially change
those f cures. The Democrats elected
eleven State senators for four-year
terms, which, with their four hold
overs, will give them fifteen out Of a
total membership Of twenty-si1 in the
upper house Of the general assembly.
In the lower house, composed Of nine
ty-one members, the Democrats elected
sixty-siz, while the Republicans will
have only twenty-five delegates in the
legislature to meet in January of next
year. In Baltimore city the Demo.
Gratis elected Judge Of the Court OF
Appeals, clerk Of the city court, sheriff,
States attorney, city surveyor and
three judges Of the Orphans Court.
IN OTHER STATES.
Mississippi; and Virginia, Of course,
rolled up the usual Democratic najori-
ties. Kansas went Republican, as did
South Dakota. The presidents recent
campaign tour through that state ne
doubt had its effect. In San Francisco
the Democrats elected a mayor, James
D. Phelan, by about 5000 majority.
The same can be said Of Detroit,
which has been redeemed from the
the Republicans by the election Of
Democratic mayor.
