board for determining the contest for
governor shall be chosen in the legis-
lature by lot, the senate selecting and
the houses 8 members. The decision
of this board is not final nor conclu-
sive. 1t must report to the general as
sembly, where further action may be
taken. The nights developments
bring the legislature into prominence
because of the probability that it will
ultimately have to determine who will
be the next governor of Kentucky. No
statement of it's makeup has been Civ
en- but it is probable that the number
of members claimd by the democrats
are not all Goebel men. If the strength
of the two great parties is nearly equal
the anti-Goebel democrats will prob
ably hold the balance of power, thus
furnishing all the elements for repe-
tition of the exciting and bitter con-
test of '97, which resulted in the defeat
of Joe Blackburg for United States
senator.
Louisville, Nov. 9.-Warrants have
been sworn out against upward of 100
election officers and others, alleging in
timidation of voters. The cases will
be presented to the federal grand jury.
Louisville, Nov. 9.-Returns received
by the Courier Journal, up to 1870 a.
m. give Goebel a plurality of 2,070
votes.
Cincinnati, Nov. 9.-Following is the
Enquirer's estimate of the next Ken
lucky legislature: Senate-26 demo-
Gratis, 10 republicans and populists.
House-57 democrats, 40 republicans
and populists. This gives the demo-
Gratis 33 majority on joint ballot, ex-
elusive of 5 populists.
OHIO.
Columbus, Nov. 9.-Statisticians at
republican headquarters have been
busy all night endeavoring to secure
some accurate figure on the plurality of
Judge Nash, republican candidate fol'
governor, and the unofficial table of
pluralities by counties was only COM
pleted at late hour. This shows that,
in 81 counties, Nash has 84,399 over
Mclean and, in 81 counties, Mclean
has 34,035 over Nash. This gives Nash
over Mclean, in the state, 50,364. It
is not believed the official returns will
make any important change in these
figures. Incomplete figures on Jones'
vote indicate it will reach 100000.
Republican figures on the legislature
are: House-Republican 81; demo-
Gratis, As; doubtful, 3. Senate-Repub-
licans, IS; democrats, IL; doubtful, 2.
J. J. Gill, republican, is elected over
Lavosier Spence, democrat, for con-
gress in the sixteenth district by 4,440
votes.
NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 9.-Returns from up
the state increase the republican as
sembly membership to SO as against 81
democrats, a republican gain of II. In
New York county, the largest Tam
many plurality was that of Abner c..
Thomas, candidate for surrogate, 55,-
$40. The Independent labor vote was
$500 or 5000 less than the socialist
vote. Tammany plurality in the sew
eral counties are about normal, the
gains of assemu4ymen in this city be-
ing due largely to combinations with
the citizens union and the labor men
against the republican candidates.
NEBRASKA.
Lincoln, Nov. 9.-Complete county
returns coming in do not materially
change the early estimates of the re-
suits of the election. The fusionists
carry the state by $4,000 and perhaps
more on the face of the returns of near
ly half the counties. They elect Will
liam Neville to congress over Moses p.
Kinkaid in the 9Th district but by a re-
duced majority and gain slightly in the
judicial districts. Chairman Edmiston
of the fusion committee insists that S.
A. Holcomb is elected judge of the SUI
preme court by $4,000. Col w. J.
Bryan said he had nothing farther to
add to his comment of Tuesday night
that the fusion victory in Nebraska
was a rebuke to the national admins
tration. He refused to discuss the e.
suits in other states.
IOWA
Des Moines, Nov. 9.-Returns from
80 to the SO counties of the state, with
estimates on the others, show that the
republican claim of $4,000 plurality for
Gov Shaw is easily maintained and
may go slightly above that figure. lis
majority over all is estimated at $4,000,
which is the largest in the history Of

Based on the vote of SO, the vote this
year shows a republican increase of
about per cent and 10 per cent.
gain for the democrats, which would
make a total republican vote Of $4,000
and total democratic vote of about
100000, but this is a falling off from
the vote of '97 of about and 10 per
cent. respectively. The Legislature
will stand Senate, 35 republicans and
