Louisville, Nov. 15.-Judge Sterling B.
Toney, whose mandamus issued on cleo
ton day for the admission OF Honest
Election League inspectors to polling
places, caused the principal excitement OF
that day, was to-day restrained by the
Appellate Court at Frankfort from taking
any further action in the contempt cases
growing out of the order.
Yesterday thirty-fiv alleged violators OF
Judge Toney's orders were bound over
by him in the sum of $500 each. To-day
he was proceeding with the cases and had
sentenced one prisoner to thirty hours in
jail, when the order of the Appellate Court
was received.
One Plurality for GOebeI.
Goebel gained fifty-two votes this aft
ernoon on the official count of the returns
from this city. 1t was in the first precinct
of the Eighth ward Aside from this there
was no change anywhere in the state to-
day. II is thought that canvassing of the
Jefferson county votes will be completed
in few days. Then the whole question
will be put before the state board, which
will meet at Frankfort some time between
now and Dec. 4.
One vote is the plurality credited to Goe-
bel in the whole state by the Courier
Journal in its table of election returns cor
rected up to a late hour last night. This
table includes a gain of 1873 votes in Harri-
son county, where the County Commits
sloners threw out two Taylor precincts.
The Commercials figures show no change
since yesterday, Taylor being given a plu-
rality of 3,134
VIII Remain in a Tangle.
Frankfort, KY, Nov. 15.-It is conceded
here that the Kentucky election will re-
main in a tangle until the meeting of the
State Election Commissioners, the date of
which has not been set, but which will &C
cur in the last week of this month
County Election Commissioners in Knox
county who certified to the vote in that
county, will file a supplemental statement
with the state board, stating that fraud
and intimidation were practiced by the
Republicans in every precinct and that
and forced by a mob of drunken men 10
certify the vote. and will conclude by re-
commencing that the entire vote be thrown
out. Gen. Taylor received !, 3S4 majority in
Knox county.
GOebeI Men More Confident.
There is renewed confidence around the
Goebel headquarters tonight, probably as
result of the decision of the Court of
Appeals to-day dealing an unexpected
blow to the Republicans by a ruling which
practically decides adversely in advance
the mandamus suits filed by Taylor's at
torneys in several counties to compel the
County Election Commissioners TO GER
tify the vote.
1t is probable now that the Jefferson
board, which includes Louisville, will pro-
coed 90 throw out several precincts in that
city contested on grounds of fraud, espe-
cially where the state militia were pres
ent or near the polls on election day. 1t
is claimed here tonight that Taylor's 1900
plurality in the city of Louisville may now
be almost wiped out.
