Deafness Cannot be Cured

is only one way to cure deafness. and
that is by constitutional remedies

infiamed you have u rumbling sou nd or

Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1902-11-07

In the above table are several
doubtful districts, some of which
are classed as Democratic and
some as Republican.
CALIFORNIA.
San Francisco, Nov. 5.-Pardee
(Rep) probably is elected Govern
or by from three to four thousand
majority, though the Democrats
still claim Lanes election. Lanes
lead of 1900 in San Francisco is
Offset by Pardee's big pluralities
in the interior. The Democrats
have elected Theodore Bell in the
second Congressional District, and
w. J. Vim, union labor. IN the
Fifth, defeating Combs and Loud.
The result in the Fourth and Fifth
districts are doubtful.
COLORADO.
Denver, Nov. 5.-The Republic
cans elect their state ticket by small
maiorities. The Democratic con-
gressional candidates claim to have
run ahead of their tickets, and one
or more of them may be elected.
The Legislature will undoubtedly
be Democratic on joint ballot, as
there are seventeen Democratic
hold-over Senators. This Insures
the return of Henry M, Teller to
the United States Senate, as he was
endorsed by the Democratic State
Convention.
ILLINOIS.
Chicago, Nov, 6,-The Republi,
can party carried Illinois yesterday
by an approximate plurality of 3d.
600. Fred A. Busse, Republican
candidate for State Treasurer, has
an estimated plurality of $4,000
votes, of which he secured 1882 in
Cook county. The Republican have
won .eighteen Congressman out Of
the twenty-five, giving the Demo
Gratis seven. The Legislature is
Republican.
INDIANA. ~
indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 5.--Re,
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1902-11-07

publican Chairman Goodrich at 9
o'clock this morning claimed the
State by at least $4,000, with a
probability that the figure will be
higher. The Republicans have
elected nine out of thirteen Con
gressmen, and the legislature is
Republican in both branches, al
though the Democrats are still
claiming the House.
IOWA.
Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 5.-For
the first time in eight years Iowa
will be represented by at least one
Democratic Congressman and pos
sibly two or three. The entire state
ticket is elected by a Republican
majority of 10000, a loss of twenty
per cent, as compared with last
year. Wade Dem is surely elect
ed by a comfortable majority in the
Second District. Congressman La
cey, in the Sixth District, and Con-
gresham Hedge, in the First Dis
trict, claim their election, but the
vote is exceedingly. close.
IDAHO.
Boise, Idaho, Nov. S. The Re
publicans sweep the state by 5000,
electing Governor, Congressman and
Legislature.
KANSAS.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. Unofficial
returns give the Republicans about
10000 majority. The entire state
ticket and all the eight Congress
men are elected by the Republicans.
The Republicans will have hun
dred members of the Legislature.
DELAWARE.
Wilmington, Del, Nov. Sit is
believed now that there will be
deadlock in the Legislature, which
has the selection of two United
States Senators. The membership
of the General Assembly will be:

Ninth District--J. N. Kehoe,

Tenth District--F. A. Hopkins,

Eleventh Vincent Bore
ing, Republican, London.
The result of the election in Ken
lucky Tuesday was a sweeping
victory for the Democrats, and as a
result all the Democratic candi-
dates for Appellate Judges we're
elected by handsome maiorities and
all the Democratic nominees for
Congress were victorious, except in
the rock.ribbed Eleventh district,
where the majority seems to have
been reduced by several thousand
votes.
The election was quiet in all
parts of the State and the voting
generally was light. The slump in
votes was more noticeable, how
ever, in the strong Republican
localities.
10 the First Appellate District
Judge Thomas J. Mum, Democrat,
of Madisonville, was elected over P
H. Darby, Republican, by large
majority, the vote in the district
being light and little interest man
Tested, especially in the strongly
Democratic First Congressional
District.
In the Second Appellate District
Judge Warner E. Settle, Democrat,
of Bowling Green, leads Judge B
L. D. Guffy, Republican, about
1000 votes. This figure will be re-
duced somewhat by later returns,
but Judge Settle believes his ma
iority will not be under 300.
In the Louisville appellate dis
trict, Judge DuRelle, the Republi-
can incumbent, was defeated by
Judge Henry S. Barker, Demo
crat, by 1900 votes.
In the Sixth Appellate District,
Judge Thomas H. PaYnter, the
Democratic incumbent, was re-
elected over W. G. bearing, Re-
publican, by $500 votes.
The Democrats won out hand
somely in the congressional races,
and the so-called doubtful districts
are doubtful no longer. Ollie M.
James, in the First; A. o. Stanley,
in the Second; John S. Rhea, in the
Third; D. H. Smith, in the Fourth;
Swager Sherry, in the Fifth; D.
Linn Gooch, in the Sixth; South
Trimble, in the Seventh; George G
lGilbert, in the Eighth; ]. N. Kehoe,
in the Ninth, and Frank A. Wat
kins, in the Tenth district, had
easy victories. Vincent Boreing,
the present Republican representa-
tive from the Eleventh district, was
reelected, but by a largely re-
duced majority.
Kehoes majority in the Ninth
district is surprising one, and
will hardly go under 1000. Rhea S
in the Third district Will be about
1000 votes. Sherley has over 1000
majority in the Fifth district.
! The Congressman reelected are

Democrats, tie. The regular Re-
Puolicans claim eight of this num-
Der will vote against Addicks,
Unless the Democrats and regular
Republicans coalesce and elect one
from each side to the United States
Senate, it is clearly apparent that
the deadlock will remaia unbroken.
MICHIGAN.
Detroit, Mich, Nov. 5.-The en-
tire Republican state ticket was
elected in Michigan yesterday by a
reduced majority. Two years ago
the Republicans carried the state
by $4,000. Democrats elected one
Congressman.
MINNESOTA.
st. Paul, MINI, Nov. 5.-The en-
tire Republican state ticket is elect
ed IN Minnesota by various plurali-
ties. Van SAINTS plurality being.
$4,000 to $4,000, as against 2.2CO
over Lind at the last election.
Minnesota easily elected eight Re
publican Congressman, the Demo-
Gratis saving only John Lind, the
former Governor, in the Fifth dis
trict.
MONTANA.
Butte, Nov. 5.-Montana went
Republican Tuesday by decisive
majorities. Joseph e. Dixon, of
Missoula, being elected to Congress
by plurality of 5000 over Evans
(Dem) and Dee (Labor.) w. L.
Holloway, Republican, Labor and
PoPulist fusion, has a majority of
5000 for Associate Justice of the
Supreme bench. The next Legs
lature Will be Republican IN both
branches. Senator Clark and the
Democratic party were defeated by
big majorities in Butte. the Sena-
tors home, and the state switched
from majority of $1,000 Democrat

STREET TITLES
IN TERRITORY

Assistant Attorney General ~ the
United States Willis van Deyanter, i'm
an opinion to the Secretary 0f the In
terror. dated February z, 1902. on a
question propounded TO the latter by
Governor Dole. as to whether. In
cases Of exchange Of lands authorized
by the laws of Hawaii, private parties
should convey the lands to the United
states or the Territory Of Hawaii,
SAYS:

are for other than public uses-as. for
instance, to be "A part OF the public do

Governor Dole's letter contained the
statement that such conycyanc"s OF
private property, which have for the
most part been for street and rDdt
/ widening, have been made 10 the Ter
! ritnry. The Governor was not certain
that ne had taken the correct course
and he desired an opinion from the In
terror Department. The opinion goei
on to say that the Governors question
necessarily suggests the anteceden
one Of authority to make exchange o
lands The title Of all public propert!
of the Republic of Hawaii Of every kin'
is vested i'm the United States, and tina
the public lands in Hawaii became sub
ject to the sole disposal OF Congress
under the pledge respecting the use O
the revenue from the proceeds OF tn
same. He says:
IF the land is for streets and roa
widening and extension, named by tn
Governor title should be taken to tn
Territory. The United States has n
interest in public property of that kin
acquired after cession, except tn
sovereign right OF supervision OF tn
local government in the regulation q
its use and it's disposal OF 1t. Publ
property of that kind belongs to tn
local government and in acquisition O
II, title should be taken To the Terri
tory of Hawaii"
The Governors question was prompt
ed by the negotiations for the acquisi
ton of n strip from the Haalelea Lawn
, Hotel street
