FRANKFORT. Ky, Jan. 96.-To-
morrow a vote will be taken in the

be able to muster when the guberna-
torlal contest comes up. The vote will
be on the contest brought by Van
Metre, Democrat, for the seat now held
by Berry, both being from Fayette
county.
Both the Democrats and Republicans
claim to have a majority on the i'm
pending vote, and while 1t will not, Of
