UREY WOoDsoN OF KENTUCKY.
The Democratic National Committee man of Kentucky Tafks About
 the state Election.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-Anong the prom inent democratic leaders not members of the national executive committee but who took part in its deliberations, was Committeeman Urey Woodson, of Kentucky. He said that there was no doubt that the state board of cleo tions of Kentucky would award the certificate of election to Goebel."
 The state board of elections does not meet until the first Monday in Decem- Der" said MT. Woodson, "and the of fieial count of the state is still far from complete. The count of Jefferson county, in which Louisville is situated, IS not yet complete, and the returns from two or three other counties are still to be received. There are about 500 votes over which there are con tests. But it IS the almost universal belief that the people of Kentucky that Mr. Gee bel has been elected. The set tlement of those 4,s00 votes, regardless of the situation in Jefferson county, will determine the election.
 The use of tissue ballots in the re- publican counties in the mountainous part of eastern Kentucky, the distribu- tior of federal officers all over the state when there were no national issues in volved in the campaign, and the use of Gatling guns and the militia in Jefrer- son county, in direct defiance of the law, are methods pursued by the re- publican party in the seate to elect their candidate. The members of the state board of elections are men of high standing in the state. can state that Mir. Goetel will abide by it's deci- sion, and should the board award the election to Mr, Taylor, Mr. Goebel will not contest the election before the leg islature, although the legislature is democratic by a majority of B.
 Will ex-Senator Black burn be elect ed to the United States senate?"
 '1es, the complexion of the legisla- ture insures his election"
