The Kentucky Democrats scored
a splendid victory in Tuesdays
election. The four Democratic
nominees for Appellate Judge,
Num-, Settle, Barker and Paynter,
were elected by handsome maiori-
ties, and the Democrats elected
ten OF the eleven Congressman and
reduced the majority of Represent
tative Boreing, In the Eleventh
district. The results in the So
called doubtful districts were sur
prising to Democrats and Republic
cans alike, Rhea winning in the
Third by about 1000, and Kehoe in
the Ninth by over 1000. In the
Second appellate district, which
was considered close, Judge Settle
claims his majority will not fall
below 1880. Judge Paynter has
scored a record-breaklng majority
in the Sixth appellate district, $50
precincts out OF $50, with the vote
of Lewis county estimated, giving
him majority of3,SSO. In Louis
vile, Barker and Sherley show up
with large majoritics, and in the
normally Democratic districts the
majoritles exceed those of previous
years in every instance where
there was anything like fight by
the Republican candidates.
In New York the greatest fight
OF the year was made. Coler, DEM
ocratic candidate for Governor,
carried New York City by $4,000,
remarkable majority. But o'dell
also surprised everybody by his
heavy vote in the country districts
and he is probably elected by a
small majority, although this is
not yet conceded by the Demo
Gratis.

We have the promise Of some

developments In tho way of build
