Stanley Wins.

The Republican State Committee
at Louisville, which has persistently
claimed that Morrow was elected,
yesterday made a showdown of the
figures upon. which their claim is
based. A detailed county table to-
tailed Al, 464 for Morrow and S9,99S
for Stanley by majorities. The Cour-
ier.Journal pointed out an error of
200 in addition, SANKEY'S correct to-
tai being 40. 1888, or majority of
/. 1875. Errors of 40S in Jefferson,
.548in Floyd, 1853 in Carlisle and 100
inChristian were pointed out, enough
In four counties to change the result
on the figures given. Judge Hager,
the Democratic chairman, claims
1000 to 1900 for Stanley and STAN
ley himself claims 1888 majority on
: complete returns. The Associated
Press gives /. 243 to Stanley. The
canvass of the votes in 120 counties
was begun yesterday and completed
in most of them. In some of the
large counties it may take two or
three days, as both sides will closely
scfutinize the counts. Judge Black
