The Louisville newspapers claim that Bryan and Beckham or McKinley and Yerkes have gained the victory in this State, just according to whether these papers sup- ported the Democratic or Republican tickets in the campaign. McKinley's ma- Jority in 180 out of 200 precincts in Louls- ville and the county is 4069. In the same prectncts the majority of Yerkes.

LOUISVILLIE, Nov. 6.—At midnight the result of the election in Kentucky was in doubt, with both sides claiming the State and Presidential tickets. The Democrats may be considered to have a trifle the bet- ter of the argument. Ex-Governor Me- Creery, chairman of the Democratic State Campaign Committee. said: “Bryan and Beckham have carried Ken- tucky by safe majorities. The Democrats have elected nme out of the eleven Con- ressmen, including Gilbert in the Eighth, {ehoe in the Ninth and Rhea in the 'fhll’fl districts.” Chalrman Combs of the Republican State Committee sald: “*Official returns from twenty-eight n- ties have been received. In these counties Beckham_ for Governor has gained 1039 over Goebel last year, while Yerkes has gained 1302 over Taylor in the same coun- ties last year. Jefferson County (Louis- ville) is not included in this estimate. This indicates that Yerkes has been elected by a safe majority. In the Presidential race McKinley has probably run 1200 behind Yerkes in the same counties.” The Courlfer-Journal at midnight says returns from two-thirds of the countfes in the State show Bryan and Beckham majorities.

With prac- tically complete returns from the city he has a majority here of about 60, while from the State scattering returns indicate al majority in the State about 10,000. There is no reason to believe the above. cratic State Committee admits Bryan's defeat in the State, while Chairman Golds- borough of the Republican Committee says that McKinley's majority will reach’ 14,000 at least.

Bryan polled throughout the city 44,813 votes— that is, 14,999 more votes than he recelved four years ago. This is a gain of about 50 Per cent for the Democratic Presiden- tial candidate.

The total vote in the city of New York is ap- froxlmnely 60,000 larger than it was Yn 806, and up the State the increase is about 30,000.

There has been con- siderable talk of the retirement of Secre- tary Hay, due to his il health last sum- mer, but among the Secretary’s friends the impression prevails that he may re- main. It is generally understood that so far as the President is concerned he would be glad to have Mr. Hay stay at the head of the State Department, his work having been of a very high order of excellence. The Secretary's health is better than it was several months ago. and should Be continue strong it may be he will stay in the next Cabinet. Should Mr. Hay retire it seems to be enerally conceded that Senator Davis of Minnesota and Embassadors Choate and Porter will be considered. General Porter is also spoken of In conmection with the war portfolio. Secretary Root's family is very anxious that he shall retire, basing their wish upon the Secretary’s heaith. Should the Secretary remafn and should Mr. Hay retire it is believed that his nama would algo be considered in connection with the premiership of the administra- tion. Several moriths ago Secretary Long de- clared positively he would re-enter privata life after March 4, but the President has very high opinion of Mr. Long's ability, and he would undoubtedly Ifke him to re- Rico would main. Governor Allen of Porto probably be considered in connection with the head of the Navy Department in case of Mr. Long's retirement. The friends of Postmaster General Smith are decidedly of the opinion that he will not remain in the Cabinet as Postmaster General, though if the President should desire he might accept another portfolio. The President's selection will not, of course, be known for some months. The immediate effect of the re-election of the President will be a vigorous prose- cution of the campaign in the Philippines and the enactment of legislation author- izing an army of regulars and volunteers of 100,000 men. A high official announced to-night that there would be but a slight reduction, if any, in the war taxes, as funds would be required for the payment of the army. ROOSEVELT HEARS NEWS. Says He Never Had Any Doubt as to the Result. NEW YORK, Nov. §.—Governor Roose- velt, surrounded by his family, to-night received the returns at his home on the Sagamore Hills. The Governor at no time during the evening seemed anxious about the result. He did not make any special arrangements to receive the news and depended on messages to be brought from the telegraph office nearly three miles away. The first definite information of the Republican victory was conveyed to the Governor at about 10 o'clock. He was in the reception room with his wife and daughter. When he appeared at the door to meet a reporter he was clad in full evening dress. He invited his visitor into the parlor and closely scrutinized the re- turns and briefly commented on the re- sult. After reading the message he said: “Isn't that fine? It shows what the American people are. It shows they want the good times to continue and are in favor of honest money and are for the flag.” T!he Governor at once dictated the fol- lowing dispatch to President McKinley: “To_President Willilam McKinley, Can- ten, Ohio: I congratulate you and the nnllonh You ;mv- my heartfelt gratitude over the result. “THEODORE ROOSEVELT."” The Governor also sent messages of con- gratulation to Senator Hanna and Chalr- man Odell, Governor elect. phaoiiar >R s PLURALITIES ABOVE BRONX.
