KENTUCKY IN DOUBT.

Both Sides Claiming the State and Presi-
Dental Tickets.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. THE result OF
the election in Kentucky is in doubt
with both sides claiming the state and
presidential tickets Chairman Les 3
Combs of the Republican campaign
committee said:
Official returns from 20 counties
have been received. In these. counties
Beckham for governor has gained
1,039 over Goebel last year, while
Yerkes has gained 1902 over Taylor
In the same counties last year. Jeffer-
son county (Louisville) is not included
In the estimate. This indicates that
Yerkes has been elected by safe ma
jority. In the presidential race Nc
KinIey will probably run 1900 behind
Yerkes in the same counties"
The Courier Journal at midnight
says the returns from two-thirds of the
counties in the state show Bryan and
Beckham majorities. The result will
depend on the size of the majority in
the Eleventh congressional district
which is heavily Republican.

NEW YORK, Nov. Ut became evil
dent at an early hour that the election
of Mckinley and Roosevelt was as
sured. At $50 o'clock returns from
nearly two-thirds of the election dis
tricts Of Greater New York showed
that Bryan and Stevenson could not
expect more than %, 900 or 10000 plu-
rality in this Democratic stronghold
and that unless there was a land
slide outside of the state, which was
beyond all reasonable expectat ions, the
pivotal state of New York had declared
in unmistakable terms, thong h by a
greatly reduced majority, for the Re-
publican ticket. As the night pro-
ceeded it only served to confirm this
Judgment, the returns from Hi nois be-
traying like condition. The Repub-
ican plurality of 1895 was greatly
reduced, but it was still far
too large to be overcome.
On the other hand the returns from
Indiana, Michigan, the two Dakotas,
Utah and Wyoming, as well as Ne
braska, seemed to indicate strong Re-
publican gains over 1895. Delaware,
Maryland and West Virginia had given
decisive Republican pluralities.
The count in several of the far West
ern states was naturally SO delayed as
to give little indication of the outcome
there, but they had ceased to have a
determining effect, and before 10
o'clock the Democratic leaders had
given up the contest, and it was an
nounced that Mr.. Bryan had goue to
bed and was sound asleep.
The whole story was briefly told. The
Republicans have larger electoral

will be, McKinley's plurality will be

Iowa was IS, 552. Chairman Weaver

MAJORITY REDUCED.

Republicans Carry Massachusetts and
Elect Ten of the Congressman.
Boston, Nov. 7.-President McKin-
ley has carried Massachusetts, by about
so, 900 plurality, a reduction of nearly
100, 900 from that of four years ago.
The Republicans have elected 10 and
possibly II of the congressman, few
by an increased plurality over 1896, but
in the majority of the districts their
candidates ran behind those of four
years ago. While the total vote for
governor is somewhat behind that
given the national candidate, William
M. Crane was reelected by somewhat
larger plurality than that received by
President Mckinley. The reduction in
the Republican plurality was due not
SO much to the falling off in the party
vote but to the party recall of the So
called Gold Democrats of 1896 to the
regular Democratic ranks.
