Almost complete returns from Louisville | and Jefferson County do not change last night’s estimate of a Republican plural- ity of a little over 3000. Governor Brad- ley is still in the city and announces that he will remain here for several days In view of the probability of a contest over vote for Governor, this state- ment made by Chairman Long of the Re- | publican State Campaign Commlttee, at 1l o'clock to-night, is significant.

The law covering this point provides that a_board for de- | termining a contest for Governor shall en in the Legislature by lot, t! ecting three and the Fou elght members. The decision of this board is not final nor conclusive. It must re- port to the General Assembly, where fur- ther action may be taken. To-night's developments bring the Leg- islature into prominence because of the probability that it will ultimately have to determine who is to be the next Gov- | ernor of Kentucky. In all expressions | upon the result of the election coming | from Democratic headquarters, the Leg- islature has been claimed as safe for that party. No statement of its make-up has been given, but it is probable a number of members claimed by the Democrats are not Goebel men. If the strength of the two great parties is nearly equal these anti-Goebel Democrats probably would hold the balance of power, thus furnishing all the elements for a repeti- on of the bitter contest of 1897, which re- sulted in the defeat of Blackburn for the ited States Senate. While the returns on the head of the ticket are incomplete, but little attention has been paid 10 the figures on members of the Legislature, and until the contest between leaders is cleared up somewhat, it will be hard to get an accurate estimate of the relative strength of the parties in the A FRANKFORT, Ky., Nov.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. e D SR e No Errect WitHOUT A CAUSE. This is true, yet for many ages no one could account for the mysterious and excruciating pains that, seemingly without sufficient cause, tortured the hapless sufferer, and oftentimes twist- ed his limbs out of all semblance to humanity. Science, . however, has at length golved this problem, and has proclaimed that rheumatism, in all its varied phases, is due to uric acid in the blood. Hence, when one is afflicted with rheumatism he knows there is too much acid in his blood. How does this happen. It must be the blood’s purifiers, the liver, and es. pecially the kidneys, are out of order and do not properly perform their functions. But how can they be restored to their normal healthy state? Hundreds of thousands of grateful and now healthy people will indorse the answer: Use Warner's Safe Cure, which will check an excess of acid, dissolve the acid deposit and produce a normal and ready | healthy condition of the kidneys and liver, and then, the cause being re- moved, the rheumatism will quickly disappear.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 8—Unofficlal re- turns from Baltimore City and all the | counties of the State show that the Dem- ‘ucrats swept practically everything be- | fore them In yesterday’s contest. John | Walter Smith, Dr. Joshua Herring and Isidor Rayner, their candidates for Gov- | ernor, Comptroller and Attorney General, | respectively, were elected over the Re- publican candidates by approximately 111,300 majority. The official count, it is | thought, will not materially change these | figures. The Democrats elected eleven State Sen- ators for four-year terms, which, with | their four hold-overs, will give them fit- teen out of a total membership of twenty- six in the upper house of the General As- sembly. In the lower house, composed of ninety-one members, the Democrats elect- ed sixty-six, while the Republicans will | have only twenty-five delegates in the | Legislature to meet in January of next year. In Baltimore City the Democrats elected a Judge of the Court of Agpeals. Clerk of the City Court, Sheriff, State Attorney, City Surveyor and three Judges of the | Orphans’ Court. The plurality in Balti- more City of all the Democratic candi- dates runs close up to those of the leaders on the ticket, while in the counties local prejudices cut down the majorities of the successful candidates for local offices. Many theories nave been advanced as to the cause of the Democratic landslide, but a careful analysis shows that the Democratic independent voter supported Colonel Smith, while many disgruntled Republicans either remained away from kes the entire Republican vote in the | ighborhood of 230,000 and the total Dem- ratic vote 190,000. But this is a falling off from the vote of 1887 of about 6 and 10 | per cent, respectively. | The Legislature will stand: Senate, 35 Republicans and 15 Democrats; the House, | 3 Republicans and 17 Democrats, a gain of eventeen votes on joint ballot for the | Republicans. Both the Gear and the| Cummins forces claim a majority of the Republican votes for the United States | Senatorship. Lo WANTED HOPBART TO VOTE.
