Louisville, Nov. S.-By the combined
efforts Of republicans and anti-Gobel-
ties, Attorney General w. S. Taylor, re-
publican has been elected governor of
Kentucky by majority variously esti-
mated at from 1000 to $4,000 over Goe-
bel, democrat. The returns received
up to- midnight also indicate the cleo
ton OF the entire republican ticket
while the complexion of the legisla-
ture is in doubt. Governor Bradley re-
manned in Louisville during the day
and had the Louisville legion in readl-
ness for marching orders. The militia
was called out after the close of the
polls to enforce the injunction granted
by the local judge but the presence of
the militia was not needed and the
companies were soon ordered back to
the armory.
Louisville, Nov. S.-Chairman Long
gave out the following statement at /
a. m. regarding the next legislature:
The republicans have elected ten SEN
ators out of 10 sure. Three more are
believed to have been elected There
are two republican hold-overs and six
antiGoebel holdovers. In the house
the republicans have elected Al mem
bers, the democrats 50, anti-Goebel
democrats 5. This insures fusion
majority in the house against the Goe-
bel law and probably a republican ma
jority."

NEBRASKA.
Lincoln, Nov. SIT Is evident to
both parties that Nebraska has re-
pledged allegiance to the fusion stand
ard. While the republicans are not yet
wi IN AaFa I'll
point that way. There has been
steady falling off of the vote Of both
parties but while the fusionists have
suffered but little, the republican loss
has not been less than 3 to precinct
Ii this ratio Is maintained Ex-Governor
Holcomb of the fusion ticket villa be

fusionists claim much more.
Lincoln, Nov. 8.-Returns up to mid
night continue to show the same fusion
gain as earlier reports, and there is
no longer any doubt of the fusion
tickets election. Chairman Tefft of
the republican committee declined to
make statement but many Of his as
sociates admitted defeat. Asked at
midnight for a statement w. J. Bryan
replied: Il concede the state of Ne
braska to the fusionists by $1,000"

any doubt as to the result in Nebraska
Returns continue to show steady fusion
gains and the majority for Holcomb
will not be less than 10000.
