The record-union., 1899-11-09

ton coming from Democratic head
quarters, the Legislature has been
claimed as safe for that party. If the
strength of the two great parties is
nearly equal, the anti-Goebal Democrats
probably will hold the balance of pow
er, thus furnishing all the elements for
a repetition of the bitter contest of
1897, which resulted in the defeat of
Blackburn for the United States SEN
ate. While the returns on the head of
the ticket are incomplete, but little at
tention has been paid to the figures on
members of the Legislature, and until
the contest between the leaders is
cleared up somewhat, it will be hard
to get an accurate estimate of the rel
ative strength of the parties in the AS
sembly.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 9.-Re.urns re-
ceived by the Courier Journal give

cincts. OF the seventy-two missing
precincts twenty are in the Republican
Eleventh District, seven are in Repub-
lican counties of the Tenth District.

FRANKFORT, Nov. S.-Senator Goe-
bel arrived here at O'Clock tonight
| and was met at the train by a crowd
of 1900 enthusiastic admirers. From
the balcony of the Capitol Hoel where
his headquarters are located, Mr.. Goe-
bel made a speech, in which he said:
L believe 1 have been elected: in
T r
friend, General Taylor, says he will as
sumo the office of Governor All !
have to say is that if 1 have been elect
ed, as I believe, I will be inaugurated
in spite of the Loui-viIle and Nash
vile railroad and Bradley bayonets.''
Ex-senator Blackburn also spoke,
claiming Goebel's election by a slender
majority, and calling en- the people to
see to it that he is seated.

ing is the "Enquirer's'' estimate of the

the best returns obtainable at the pres
ent time. The figures are:

County was that O'Brien, the Independ-
ent Labor leader, who was nominated
for Sheriff by the Republicans. ran be-
hind his ticket about $500 votes.

Granite Cutters Union, and it was ex-
pected that many workingmen would
vote for him who would scratch the
other names on the Republican ticket
Apparently, just the reverse happened

nominated by the Republicans for JUS
/ tice of the Supreme Court, but who
was not indorsed by the Labor party,
got more votes than O'Brien
