Republican standpoint. Ohio was the

Disagreement worth mentioning, BE

$1,000 to $4,000. Taylor's election is
assured in Kentucky by 10000,
which surely marks. one Of the most
decisive and suggestive Republican
victories. Nebraska is for Fusion
Massachusetts,, the hot-bed Of the
Anti-Imperialists, gives q rebuhnE
Republican majority Of over 10000.
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Iowa,
New York, and South Dakota are Re
publican by handsome margins. Ma
ryland has gone Democratic through
a combination Of circumstances It
is in no sense a victory for the Bryan
wing Of the Democratic party, as
Governor Lowndes' opponent was a
gold standard Democrat. The other
two states which voted yesterday
merely went through the formality Of
m election. Virginia and 1tississip

political problem. This is the sttua-

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE following is
the text Of q dispatch from General
Butler, from Cape Town, dated Novem'
ber 4, 1855 p. M:
"The following dispatch has been re-
ceived from the general commanding at
Dstcourt, dated November 8:
"'since Friday there has been q ces-
satIon Of hostilities. A note was sent
that day to General Joubert by General
White, at the request OF tho mayor,
asking permission for the non-combat-
ants. sick and wounded to go south.
General Joubert refused the request,
but agreed to allow them to go to q
special camp four miles from Lady
smith. The townspeopIe refused to ae-
cent this offer. The sick and wounded
and a few Of the Inhabitants were
moved yesterday. A few shots were
exchanged yesterday at the outposts.

Shells fell in the hospital and one burst
in a hotel during luncheon. No one was
injured. Tho only casualty in the town
from the shells thus far is Kaftir

LONDON. Nov. E-To-nights wel-
come dispatches trom the front have
rent the veil of gloom enveloping Lady,
smith, showing the British garrison not
merely standing on the dOgycd deten-
sive, but executing scries Of brilliant
sorties. Accounts from diHeront
sources agree that the laeonic Oncial
description Of Thursdays engagement
as ian effective shelllng Of the Boer
lager" was unduly modest. It ap-
pears that General George White sent
a strong force Of cavalry and infantry
to attack the Beers at Tathams Farm,
about ten miles to the northwest near
Besters, and apparently achieved a sur-
prise, the Beers being caught on the
open veldt and cut to pieces and their
camp captured. Encouraged by this
success, General White decided to risk
an even more important engagement on
the following day, which was again
justified by success.
Ladysmlth is isolated and a Boer
force had intercepted the railway be-
tween Ladysmith and Colenso. This
force on Friday had descended upon
colepso and as shown by the dispatches
from Estcourt, had compelled a hurried
abandonment of colenso and a retire.
ment OF the British to Estcourt.
General White had ascertained that
the Beers were attacking colenso, but
he was not aware Of the British retire
ment. he had determined therefore to
attack the Beers in the rear, thru .liyps-
Ing to achieve the double object Of
drawing OF IN attack upon the weak
garrison Of colenso and possibly Of re.
opening communication southward.
The Beers had advanced southward
until they had occupied the hills north
Of Tugeia river and dominating Colenso
ON the other side Of the stream. These
hills slope to a plane that reaches to the
banks Of the Tugela.
General whites division caught the
Beers In the rear and after the hills had
been shelled the British infantry Storm
ed the position. Meanwhile the British
cavalry SWEPT around the hills and as
fbe retreating enemy descended into the
plains with British bayonets behind
them and the river in front Of them,
they were charged by the cavalry and
seem to have persisted almost to a man,
The British then returned to Lady,
smith without coming into touch with
the colenso garrison. which had retired
to Estcourt.
sundays dispatch from ESteourt
however showed that an armored train
had been sent back to Colenso to repair
the line, and the next news may posEi-
bly, be Of the restoration Of communica-
ton with Ladysmlth.
While the British troops were thus
engaged in successful endeavors to
wipe out the Nlcholson's Mex disaster
the situation inside Ladysmith, as
shown by an official dispatch from the
general at Estcourt, was most satisfac-
tory, encouraging a hope that Sir
George White may yet emerge triumph-

OF the legislature is in doubt. ".,
The weather throughout the state
was perfect and more than an average
vote was polled, the total falling but
little short of the vote polled in the last
presidential election. Comparatively
little disorder prevailed and aside from
several arrests for alleged violations of
election laws. the election was churac-
terIzed by remarkable degree OF
quIetude.
Governor Bradley remained In Louis
VILE during the day and had the Louis-
willie Legion in readiness for marching
orders. The militia was called out al
ter the close Of the polls to enforce an
Injunction granted by local Judge, but
the presence OF the militia was not
needed and the companies were ordered
back to the armory.
Chairman Long, Of tho Republican
campaign committee. said Mt mldnight
that Taylor's plurality would not be
less han $4,000. This estimate, he said.

from n majority OF counties in the

TaylOr's plurality at from 1900 to

heavy gains in most all of the Demo-
cratic strongholds which were expected
to give Gocbel large majoritles. Chair
man Long claims the Republicans have
carried the city of Louisville by from
5000 to 5000 majority.

the Republicans claimed that their
