ed their mun by a 7000 plurality

Louisville, Ky., Nov. 8.—11 a.
m.—With the returns in from all
but thirteen counties of thd state,
some of which are unofficial, and
with tho vote ol 1897 as-a basis
of calculation, at the same ratio
of Republican gains, Taylor’s
plurality in the state figures out
(5700. The inajority of tho miss-
ing counties are from the eleventh
district, which is largely Republi-
can. At Republican headquar-
ters it is still maintained that Tay-
lor’s plurality will reach 15,000.
Complete returns from every
precinct in tho city of Louisville
gives Goebel 15,606, Rrown 2749,
and Taylor 18,600; giving Taylor
a plurality of 3254. .

statements from candidates:

or, city attorney, recorder, dis-
trict attorney., coroner, public ad-
ministrator, four police judges
