KENTUCKY.
Parker's Majority viii ee Between
$1,000 and 1900.

Louisville, Nov. S.-With one-third
OF kentucky's 1896 precincts reported,
at II o'clock tonight the vote indicates
a majority in the State of from 1900
to 1900.
The figures of the Democratic and
Republican managers show but little
variance from this result Kentucky
in 1900 gave Bryan S,o9S plurality.
The returns from 693 precincts show
! plurality of 1925 for Parker.
Only . few counties in the First and
Second and the Eleventh districts, the
former being Democratic and the lat
ter a Republican stronghold, have
been received. In the Fifth district,
composed OF Louisville and Jefferson
county, the Democratic plurality OF
1886 in 1900 was cut down by fully
1000 votes In the Third district also
the Democratic majority was reduced.
The complete returns from the
strongly Republican Eleventh district
are not expected fer forty-eight hours,
but the reduction Of the normal Re
publican majority as the result OF a
factional fight over the Republican
congressional nomination will partial
ly Offset the Republican gains in the
Third and Fifth. The result of the
fight leaves the congressional delega-
ton unchanged-ten Democrats and
one Republican.
The result was not complicated by
local issues save in the Fifth district
(Louisville), where a s3.5oo,0 600 bond
issue was defeated.

Rural High School.

State superintendent Whitfield
has Just returned from Smyrna, Co
piah county, where he made an ad-
dress on the occasion of the dedica-
ton of a handsome schoolhouse
which has just been completed.
Prof. Whitfield made a visit 10 the
neighborhood about three months
ago and discussed with the people
plans looking to the organization OF
a raral high school. Since then the
progressive people of that progress
siye community have organized Il
stock company, erected a large
school building. well suited 10 its
purpose and beautifully constructed,
and furnished it with up-to-date
school furniture. \ fine school IS
now in operation, and the people are
delighted with the result Of their
work, and for the future promise TO
do greater things. Rural high
schools have been Prof. Whitfeld's
hobby for some time past, and
through the active efforts he is put
ting forth to secure them more
school organizations like that at
Smyrna are expected 10 be formed.

NEW YORK.
Roosevelt Runs Ahead Of McKinley's
Majority.


New York. Nov S.-Theodore Roose-
velt's plurality in this, his native
State. is second only to McKinley's
ESQ. 900 in 1896 It exceeds McKin-
ley's in 1900 by about 41.5o0. The late
returns show that there were cast for
him in New York State about 1S5. 900
votes more than for Parker. Not only
was his vote heavy in the country dis
tricts, where the Republican strong
holds are but in Greater New York.
he ran much closer to Parker than
had been expected, even by his own
campaign managers. 1t had been es-
timated that he would come down to
the Bronx with better than 10000
plurality. but the figures tonight
showed that this forecast would be
exceeded by approximately s.. 600 In
the city Parker's supporters had ex-
pressed hopes that their candidate
would have from 10000 to 100. 900
more than Roosevelt. but in this they
were disappointed by more than 1e0.-
600 votes. So overwhelming was the
Republican vote that the result was
known positively early in the even
ing. The earliest counties to report
made II clear that the Parker vote
everywhere fell below Bryan's in prac-
tically all the upstate districts. In
Greater New York Parker's plurality
was from 1900 to II 900 larger than
Bryan's. but in the State according to
the late reports. his total vote fell TO-
600 short OF Bryan's.

INDIANA.
The Republicans Increase McKinIey's
Great Plurality.


Indianapolis. Ind. Nov. s.-Indiana
has been carried by the Republicans
by from $4,000 TO $4,000. The legis.
lature will be Republican by nearly
fifty. probably more. All the nine Re-
publican congressman are reelected by
increased majorities anu the Repuhli-
cans claim the Second and Twelfth
districts represented by Representa-
tives Miers and Robinson. both Dem
ocrats. They are in doubt. The leg
islature which will meet in January
will elect two United States senators,
one 10 succeed Vice-President-elect
eridge will be reelected. The Repub-
licans have almost If not quite doubled
the Mckinley plurality in the State
OF 26,467 four years ago.
In scarcely a county OF the State
have the Republicans failed to make
large gains. Democratic State Chair
man OBrien early conceded the State
to the Republicans by over 80. 900. and
sent his congratulations to Republi-
can State Chairman Goodrich. DEM
ocratic National Chairman Taggart
gave up the battle at 10 O'Clock. and
wired his congratulations to Republi.
can National Chairman Cortelyou.
Vice-President-elect Charles W. Fair
banks received the returns at his res
idence from private wires which con-
nectej his home with the White House
at Washington. He and President
Roosevelt early exchanged congratula-
lions.

Mississippi State News
GuIfport-s Census.

According to citizen of Gulf
port, the city council of that place
has just completed a municipal cen
sus which shows that Gulfport has
an actual population of 4,1I2. In
Guiding the suburbs, which are in
reality part of the city, the popu-
lation is about $500, and with the
extension OF the corporate limits
Gulfport hopes to secure free mail
delivery. Mississippi's principal ex-
port point has enjoyed a marvellous
growth during the past few years.
When the Federal census was taken
four years ago Gulfport was cred
tied with a population OF only l goo.
The town has grown to four times
her population of four years ago, OF
at the rate of 100 per cent each
year.

a Majority for the Socialists.

\ single precinct IN Perry coun-
ty, McCallum by name, and it Is
probably the only one in the STATE
OF Mississippi, gave a majority OF
one for the Socialists. True, the
majority was only one over the
Democrats. but it indicates that the
sentiment in favor OF that party has
a strong following IN the lower part
of the State, particularly in those
counties contiguous to the gulf. No
organization of the party had been
heard Of until during the past year,
when the fact was developed
through a monthly periodical pub
lished at Biloxi in the interest Of
the Socialists.

to the Pacific slope. Indiana has gone
for Roosevelt by perhaps 10000. Ma

tional committee, which has decided
so many presidential contests, went
largely for Roosevelt.
Illinois has given a stupendous plu-
rality for Roosevelt.
All of the Northwestern States have
given stupendous Republican plurali-
ties
All the Rocky Mountain States have
gone for Roosevelt. their idol.
The indications are that even Ne
vada has been swung from the Demo
cratic to the Republican column, and
all the Pacific slope States are Repub-
lican.
Parker Knitted.
Under the surface the Democratic
party has not been united. The Bry-
an leaders apparently were loyal. but
the minor leaders for weeks have been
working to defeat Judge Parker in or
der TO bring about a new reorganiZa-
ton OF the party. looking TO the nom
mating OF Mr.. Bryan for president in
1908.
On the other hand, many followers
OF Mr. Hearst have been engaged in
Strengthening Parker. and the candida
CIV OF Thomas f. Watson on the Pop
ulist ticket has been used as a mask
under which an anti-Parker 'propagan-
da has been conducted throughout the
country.
The effect OF this IS shown in the re
turns OF Indiana. New Jersey. New
York. Connecticut and Illinois.
The word seems to have gone around
secretly TO Bryan men in every sec
ton OF the country TO defeat Judge
Parker because he was the candidate
OF David B. Hill and various Gold
Democrats in the East so that the
party could once more be reorganized
on radical lines and make a fight
against the trusts four years hence.
The knowledge OF this appears TO
have inspired Judge Parker TO take
the stump and make his serious charge
against President Roosevelt and Mr.
Cortelyou in the hope that IL would
swing the radicals back into line. He
made the move too late and the con-
spiracy OF radical Democrats was
brought to a successful conclusion at
yesterdays election

that Gov. Peabody has been elected

that the Republican State ticket has

ton Of Gov. Peabody in pool rooms
were 2 to 1 in his favor. The usual
Democratic plurality In the city and

greatly reduced. It may not exceed
