Verdict In the Bolt Hatch Murder Case, From Reno County, Set Aside Kansas City, Km., Liquor Cases Ordered Tried Opinions. Topeka, Kcs., Nov. 7. (Special) The state supreme court handed down a de- cision to-d- in the famous Marion Asbell murder case of Labette county. The Judg- ment of the district court was affirmed. Asbell, It will be remembered, killed his wife on January 23, 1S96, and was convicted end sentenced to life imprisonment. The murder was the outgrowth of a family quarrel caused by alleged intimacy of the defendant and Haggle Wlhttehouse, the daughter of Mrs. Asbell by her tirst husband. Asbell was wealthy and a hard fight was made in the sirpreme court to have the case reversed and remanded for trial, but without avail. In the de- cision of affirmation the court said: "It is earnestly insisted that the verdict is not sustained by the evidence. After a careful reading and consideration of the same we ore united in the opinion, that the testimo- ny sustains the finding that the defendant committed the offense as charged. The re- lations which existed between the defend- ant and Maggie Wihrtehouse, as well as be- tween him and the deceased, furnish a motive for the commission of the offense. The testimony makes it very improbable that it was a case of suicide, and there is much In It which tends to connect the de- fendant with the killing. His conduct be- fore the death of his wife and his conduct immediately after the body of the de- ceased was found tends to support the find- ing of the jury." The court set aside the verdict of the Reno county district court In the Bob Batch murder case and remanded it for trial. Hatch killed Thomas Mullen at Hutchinson on December 5, 1E, and was tried on the charge of murder in. the first degree. He pleaded Justifiable homicide, hut the Jury returned a verdict of murder In the second degree, and the defendant was sentenced to twenty years In prison. The case was appealed to the supreme court and to-d- a decision was handed down. The lower court was reversed on the rrounds of the irregularity of the in- structions to the Jury. The decision of the Wyandotte county district court In quashing, complaints in a large number of liquor cases appealed from . the Kansas City, Has., police court was re- versed and the cases were remanded for trial. There are about 100 of these cases and they got Into the district court be- cause the Jolntkeepers refused to pay two fines, a- - month during a temperance cru- sade.

Find Only Worthless Paper In the Envelopes Supposed to Con-lai- n Honest Dollars. Montlcello, 111., Nov. 7. The betting men of this city are mourning because the money which they thought they had won on the result of the election has turned out to be worthless paper. A man named Lucas worked a great game of fltmtiam. Early In the campaign Mr. Lucas began hunting bets and taking the Bryan end as fast ns he found the takers. The money was Inclosed In an envelope, and then Lu- cas suggested that it be deposited in the bank, wllil instructions to the banker to George Elliott, In the Kansas Peni- tentiary for Burglary, Gains Ills Freedom. Topeka, Kas., Nov. 7. (Special.) A par- don has been issued by Governor Morrill for George Elliott, who was sent to the pen- itentiary for six years from Franklin coun- ty for burglary in the second degree. Elli- ott was a locomotive engineer running out of Chicago and was thrown out of employ- ment by the Debs strike In 1891. He came to Kansas City, seeking employment. Go- ing to Ottawa, he met a crowd of five men claiming to be railroad employes. Elliott went to Chanute, then returned to Kansas City, where he again met one of the five men he had lunched with at Ottawa. The stranger and Elliott were arrested on a charge of burglary committed at Ot- tawa. The stranger wore a pair of shoes stolen at Ottawa, but nothing was found in Elliott's possession. As a matter of fact, he was wholly innocent. The report recommending the pardon, submitted to the governor by the state board of pardons, says the sheriff conceived a violent preju- dice against Elliott and made an arrange- ment by which his conviction was assured. OFFICER KILLS AN OFFICER. Deputy Marshal Canton Walks Up to Deputy Dnnn, at Pawnee, O. T., and Shoots Him Dead. Guthrie, O. T., Nov. 7. (Special.) Word was received at the United States mar- shal's office to-d- ay of the killing of Deputy Marshal B. Dunn, at Pawnee, by Deputy F. M. Canton. There had been trouble be- tween the men for some time, and as Dunn was standing on the streets of Pawnee, Canton walked up and said "Hello!" and as Dunn turned, shot him dead. Canton was at once arrested, and later taken from the town for fear of Dunn's friends or- ganizing to lynch him Dunn is one of the men who betrayed "Slaughter Kid" and another outlaw Into the mar- shals hands a year ago, and received his appointment as a reward. He was one of the posse that killed Bill Doolin a few weeks ago. Canton has of late obtained much notoriety by declaring that he knew the whereabouts of Bill Taylor, the escaped murderer jf the Meek3 family, and would capture hiu but failed to produce him.

The schooner's crew had given up all hope, and, worn with fatigue and exposure to the Icy blast, were clinging to the rigging when the Campbell sighted their signals of distress. The Rising Star, lumber laden, cleared at Green Bay, Wis., on TuesJay for Chicago. In the afternoon the boat sprung a leak. The pumps were manned and by hard work the vessel was kept afloat.

Candidates for Some of the Jabs That Governor Leedy 'Will Hare to Parcel Out Not Many Can- didates for Federal Po- sitions '' Vet. Topeka, Kas., Not. T. (Special) A ru- mor Is in circulation here to the effect that Governor Morrill Intends to abolish all of the metropolitan police boards In the state before he retires from office. Nothing definite can be learned about it for the governor, his private secretary, J. L. Bris--to- and other trusted political friends are all out of the city. It is known, however, that some months ago such a plan was talked over by friends of the governor in his presence, but nothing came of It then. Many of his friends are in favor of such action, while others oppose it Those who favor it claim that the police boards cause the governor more trouble than all the other departments combined, and that the people of the first class cities should be granted "home rule." They say that the chief executive Is always blamed by the temperance people it there is an open Joint in any of the large cities, and that the same set never pay any particular attention to the officials whose duty it Is to close the joints In the smaller cities. There are less than a half-doze- n towns in the state of 1,000 population and up- wards where no Joints exist, and the" ques- tion arises why the temperance people do not enforce the laws In those smaller places, where public sentiment Is against the saloon. Not many weeks ago the governor wo 3 asked by the Journal correspondent to ex- press an opinion as to what course he would likely pursue in police board affaire in the future, but he declined to give any. A telegram to Governor Morrill at Hia- watha asking for a statement as to his intentions In the matter of abolishing the police boards brought a reply that the gov- ernor did not care to make any statement last night THAT LETTER TO M'DONALD. Gllck Admits HeSvrote It Marshal Neely Things He Will Hold His Job. Topeka, Kas., Nov. 7. (Special.) United States Pension Agent Gllck admitted to- day that he had written a letter to Witten McDonald, of Kansas City, Mo., some time ago in relation to the Kansas situa- tion, and that he believed that it had reached. the president ;However,, he claimed fnhe'viiKhenlSKrms, of rMr. QewlajidWt-'wouIdsaF-whethe- r in it he asked McDonald to swttdutbe.pallcy of the administration organ in Kansas City to the free silver cause. "I have received no notice from the department of tho charges filed against me," said he, "and presume I will be given an opportunity to be heard if the charges are pressed." Gllck claimed that 'up to the pres- ent time the relations between himself and the president and secretary of the interior were not strained in the least, to his knowl- edge, and he expressed surprise that Sec- retary Francis had been quoted as saying that he would depose Glick if the sound money Democrats of Kansas just said the word. United States Marshal Neely said- - he had heard nothing further about the reported charges filed against him at the depart- ment of Justice except in the newspapers and did not believe that anything would ever come of the matter. He said he knew that they were after Glick, but thought they had decided to let him alone. "They certainly cannot charge me with being a pernicious partisan," said he. "for I took no hand In the campaign, whatever. I am a. 'defensive partisan' instead of an offens- ive partisan. I adhered to the rules laid down by the president and Kept out or. pol- itics." The sound money Democrats, however, charge that he was treacherous, and that secretly he helped the enemy, not only with personal influence but also by contribu- tions to the Popocratlc campaign fund. It is amusing to hear Marshal Neely and Glick sound high praises of Eu- gene Hagan, W. C. Perry and other prom- inent administration Democrats of Kansas. They laud them to the skies. They are after their Influence. THE PIE HUNTERS' CAMPAIGN. Semple, Qunrles and Clark After the Wardcnshlp Parks Will Be Slate Printer. Topeka, Kas., Nov. 7. (Special.) Tho friends of Bob Semple, deputy state bank commissioner, will urge his appointment as warden of the state penitentiary under the Populist administration. They claim that he is fully qualified to handle that institu- tion, and that he deserves the appointment for the service he has rendered the party. Tho names of W. T. Quarles, of Kansas City, Kas.. and H. S. Clark, of Lawrence, are also mentioned for the place. The latest candidate for state printer is J. S. Paries, of Marion county. The office of state bank commissioner will go to J. W. Breidenthal, tho present Incumbent, without opposition, providing he is not elected United States senator. P. B. Maxon, of Emporia, wants to be a member of the board of railway commis- sioners, along with Webb McNall. The present Democratic member of the board, J. G. Lowe, it is said, will also endeavor to secure a reappointment. A colored man named James Beck, of Wamego, will push himself forward for the office of 6tate coal oil Inspector, and S. H. Snider, of Kansas City, Is seeking his old place as insurance commissioner. There Is some talk of consolidating the offices of state accountant and adjutant general, but this will not likely be done. The Populist policy has never been to les- sen tho number of public offices. DEMOCRATS 0UJJN THE COLD: Get Absolutely Nothing Out of the Campaign They Waged In the Sunflower State. Topeka, Kas., Nov. 7. (Special.) Chair- man J. Mack Love, of the Democratic end of the combination state committee, closed up shop this morning and left on the after- noon train fcr his home at Arkansas City. The silver Democrats were dumped all the way around. They pinned their faith on the election of Bryan, and his defeat leaves them without any federal offices. Then they expected to hold the balance of power in the legislature and elect a Democratic United States senator, but this cannot come to pass, as the Populists have a ma- jority over all. The demand for office from the Populists will be so great that the Populfet state administration will have no Continued on Second Pace. rPfe sJaaKfcMrs? i V'mws, -- ArTlmmW11 f DOHfililllnTt AiiSsnssSsnssVSBsr BJ BsflSflHlsisH JvflMCHV '23igBgJHIHHsSi. 1 VERITABLE BOuM ON.

The World this morn- ing says: Mark Hanna gave the World the followlnr outline of what he understood to be President-elec- t McKlnley's general pol- icy: "I have had but comparatively brief con- versations with Major McKinley since his election. Next week I expect to meet him at Cleveland, and, as he has had time to think over matters, I presume he will have more details than I aim at present aware of. But thi3 much I know he feels that he owes much to the patriotic Democrats who prefer princlplo to strict party ties. Indiana, for instance, was unquestionably carried against fusion by Democratic votes. "Ho recognizes the very great service performed by Democratic and Independent newspapers during the campaign. "Major McKinley will endeavor ts see collected a great national party that will give prosperity to the country. He ex- pects and hopes that all men of all shades, of former political belief will be united to this end. I have talked with some of the most Influential of the old Democratic leaders and I am glad to say they are tn accord with Major McKlnley's hopes. "The first movement he will make will be to obtain sufficient revenue to conduct the government Further Issues of bonds would be altogether too dangerous. Business prosperity and stability demand that as soon as possible the government should be on a paying basis. To this end an extra session of congress will be necessary, and President McKinley will undoubtedly call one soon after his inauguration. "Legislation win be required to secure the desired revenue, and Mr. McKinley will do everything in his power to secure it, as j well as the legal establishment of a policy which will tend to put everybody at work. , lit all this he hopes and expects that he will be backed by patriotic men, regardless of party lines. "As for myself, I am not after any office, and will endeavor to attend to private busi ness affairs, which need my personal super-- I vision." I Asked what Democrats of note he had ! talked with on the subject of thel future. Mr. Hanna said: "I do not wish to name 'them all, but I may; mention Messrs. W. C. Whitney and Abram S. Hewitt as ex- amples." MARK HANNA AS HOST. Gives an Elaborate Dinner to Report-er- a at the Waldorf, la Hew York City. New York, Nov. 7. Mark A. Hanna gave a dinner ht to the newspaper men J who had regularly "covered" national t headquarters either in New York or Chi- cago during the campaign. The dinner was served In the banquet hall at the Wal dorf, and It was an elaborate affair.

The Democratic head- quarters give out no detailed figures ta substantiate their claims of carrying the state for Bryan, while the Republican managers bolster their assertions of success with tables embodying the majority of each candidate in all of the several counties and districts. A call at Democratic headquarters to- night found a sign readlnr. "These head- quarters closed." None of the committee- men could be found for a statement The following is from Republican Chairman Roberts: "Kentucky has gone Republican for ths first time in its history In a presidential year. Complete official returns xrom iu counties and reliable unofficial returns from the other eight counties give McKinley & plurality. Four years ago the state save) Cleveland 40,000 over Harrison, and gave Weaver, the Populist candidate. 23,500 votes. The fusion of Democrats and Populists this year was complete and the victory for McKinley means, therefore, a reversal of 64.000 votes, based on the figures of 1892. "Our silver friends make a great ado over 2.000 Republican gain In the Eleventa district, but see nothing remarkable in a gain of 2,000 Democratic plurality in a sin- gle county In the First district They also) affect surprise that the Republican stats committee has been sticking to its claim of 4M to 600 plurality for McKinley. la spite of the discovery of great errors against Bryan in Hardin. Fayette. Callo- way and other counties, and say that whenever Bryan made a gain In this way; I sent a cipher dispatch to the Eleventh) district for a corresponding addition to the McKinley plurality. These errors, which the newspapers made a great ado over in each succeeding issue, were their own and not ours, and explain how some of the .newspapers gave McKinley nywhere from 2,000 to jiOOO plurallty.when ths committee figures, open to the. world, stood) .between 400" ana 600 "for three 'days. "At 6 ocioca on Ue uiuruuij hio election, we realized that the result would be very close and wired every county chairman who could be reached to rush complete unofficial returns and to watch closely the official count On tha strength of the answers to these messages, I issued a bulletin Wednesday evening which was published in. all the Louisville papers, say- ing, among other things: The Democrats will go to the Eleventh district with 13,609 In their favor. Returns from one-ha-lf of the counties of the Eleventh district al- ready in assure considerably over 14,000 Re- publican plurality.' This bulletin was based upon actual un- official figures from every county but five, and has stood the test from last Wednes- day until y. In spite of the errors of newspaper correspondents and the surpris- ing claims of free sliver leaders, evidently! based upon before-electlo- n estimates rather than after-electio- n returns. This committee has had nothing to do with the conflicting reports of newspapers, and the big 'gains and 'losses they have been finding In un- official returns for several days have not changed our tables at any time. "The official count has resulted In occa- sional changes from our unofficial figures, but they have about balanced eac other, and my,ffgures of Wednesday are prac- tically confirmed by the official count. "At this writing, our almost complete re- turns show that the Democrats go to ths Eleventh district with 13,822 plurality In their favor, and are met there by 14,273 Re- publican plurality, giving a net plurality) of 4M for McKinley. "SAM J. ROBERTS, Chairman " A complication has arisen that will like- ly divide the electoral vote on the basis of twelve for McKinley and one for Bry- an. This Is due to the fact that a large number put the pencil mark opposite ths name of tho first elector Instead of under the party device, thus causing the head of each ticket to run ahead of their col- leagues. In this way. the foremost Demo- cratic elector, W. B. Smith, gets more votes than the hindmost Republican elector. Bet- tors on the Bryan end say this prevents tho McKinley men from winning, and raises an Interesting point However, all bets are held up until the state canvassing board count FOREIGN MISSION FOR BCCKNER. He Will Be Urged for a Diplomat! Position, It Is Said. Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 7. It is stated on 'the authority of Republican leaders In this state that General Simon Bolivar Buckner. the sound money Democratic nominee for vice president, will be strongly recommend- ed to President-elec- t McKinley for one of the foreign mHsIons. probably to Italy. The leading Republicans In this state say the sound money Democrats should be paid some sort of compliment, and that no bet- ter recognition could be paid their services than In the appointment of General Buck- ner.

Verdict In the Bolt Hatch MurderCase, From Reno County, Set
Aside Kansas City, Km.,Liquor Cases Ordered
Tried Opinions.
Topeka, Kcs., Nov. 7. (Special) Thestate supreme court handed down a de-cision to-d- in the famous Marion Asbellmurder case of Labette county. The Judg-ment of the district court was affirmed.Asbell, It will be remembered, killed hiswife on January 23, 1S96, and was convictedend sentenced to life imprisonment. Themurder was the outgrowth of a familyquarrel caused by alleged intimacy of thedefendant and Haggle Wlhttehouse, the
daughter of Mrs. Asbell by hertirst husband. Asbell was wealthy and ahard fight was made in the sirpreme courtto have the case reversed and remandedfor trial, but without avail. In the de-cision of affirmation the court said: "It isearnestly insisted that the verdict is notsustained by the evidence. After a carefulreading and consideration of the same weore united in the opinion, that the testimo-ny sustains the finding that the defendantcommitted the offense as charged. The re-lations which existed between the defend-ant and Maggie Wihrtehouse, as well as be-tween him and the deceased, furnish amotive for the commission of the offense.The testimony makes it very improbablethat it was a case of suicide, and there ismuch In It which tends to connect the de-fendant with the killing. His conduct be-fore the death of his wife and his conductimmediately after the body of the de-ceased was found tends to support the find-ing of the jury."
The court set aside the verdict of theReno county district court In the BobBatch murder case and remanded it fortrial. Hatch killed Thomas Mullen atHutchinson on December 5, 1E, and wastried on the charge of murder in. the firstdegree. He pleaded Justifiable homicide,hut the Jury returned a verdict of murderIn the second degree, and the defendantwas sentenced to twenty years In prison.The case was appealed to the supremecourt and to-d- a decision was handeddown. The lower court was reversed onthe rrounds of the irregularity of the in-structions to the Jury.
The decision of the Wyandotte countydistrict court In quashing, complaints in alarge number of liquor cases appealed from
. the Kansas City, Has., police court was re-versed and the cases were remanded fortrial. There are about 100 of these casesand they got Into the district court be-cause the Jolntkeepers refused to pay twofines, a- - month during a temperance cru-sade. They ill paid one fine, and the sec-ond. case'they appealed.

Candidates for Some of the Jabs ThatGovernor Leedy 'Will Hare to

sitions ''Vet.
Topeka, Kas., Not. T. (Special) A ru-mor Is in circulation here to the effectthat Governor Morrill Intends to abolish allof the metropolitan police boards In thestate before he retires from office. Nothingdefinite can be learned about it for thegovernor, his private secretary, J. L. Bris--to-
and other trusted political friends areall out of the city. It is known, however,that some months ago such a plan wastalked over by friends of the governor inhis presence, but nothing came of It then.Many of his friends are in favor of suchaction, while others oppose it
Those who favor it claim that the policeboards cause the governor more troublethan all the other departments combined,and that the people of the first class citiesshould be granted "home rule." They saythat the chief executive Is always blamedby the temperance people it there is anopen Joint in any of the large cities, andthat the same set never pay any particularattention to the officials whose duty it Isto close the joints In the smaller cities.There are less than a half-doze- n townsin the state of 1,000 population and up-wards where no Joints exist, and the" ques-tion arises why the temperance people donot enforce the laws In those smallerplaces, where public sentiment Is againstthe saloon.
Not many weeks ago the governor wo 3asked by the Journal correspondent to ex-press an opinion as to what course hewould likely pursue in police board affairein the future, but he declined to give any.
A telegram to Governor Morrill at Hia-watha asking for a statement as to hisintentions In the matter of abolishing thepolice boards brought a reply that the gov-ernor did not care to make any statementlast night
THAT LETTER TO M'DONALD.
Gllck Admits HeSvrote It MarshalNeely Things He Will

fnhe'viiKhenlSKrms, of rMr.QewlajidWt-'wouIdsaF-whethe- r init he asked McDonald to swttdutbe.pallcyof the administration organ in Kansas Cityto the free silver cause. "I have receivedno notice from the department of thocharges filed against me," said he, "andpresume I will be given an opportunity tobe heard if the charges are pressed."
Gllck claimed that 'up to the pres-ent time the relations between himself andthe president and secretary of the interiorwere not strained in the least, to his knowl-edge, and he expressed surprise that Sec-retary Francis had been quoted as sayingthat he would depose Glick if the soundmoney Democrats of Kansas just said theword.
United States Marshal Neely said- - he hadheard nothing further about the reportedcharges filed against him at the depart-ment of Justice except in the newspapersand did not believe that anything wouldever come of the matter. He said he knewthat they were after Glick, but thoughtthey had decided to let him alone. "Theycertainly cannot charge me with being apernicious partisan," said he. "for I tookno hand In the campaign, whatever. I ama. 'defensive partisan' instead of an offens-ive partisan. I adhered to the rules laiddown by the president and Kept out or. pol-itics."
The sound money Democrats, however,charge that he was treacherous, and thatsecretly he helped the enemy, not only withpersonal influence but also by contribu-tions to the Popocratlc campaign fund. Itis amusing to hear Marshal Neely and
Glick sound high praises of Eu-gene Hagan, W. C. Perry and other prom-inent administration Democrats of Kansas.They laud them to the skies. They areafter their Influence.

Will Endeavor to See Collected aGreat National Party of Prosper-
ity Mark Hanna DeclaresThat He la Not After
cW - T ran in r7New York, .Nov. 8. The World this morn-
ing says: Mark Hanna gave the World thefollowlnr outline of what he understood tobe President-elec- t McKlnley's general pol-icy:
"I have had but comparatively brief con-versations with Major McKinley since hiselection. Next week I expect to meet himat Cleveland, and, as he has had time tothink over matters, I presume he will havemore details than I aim at present awareof. But thi3 much I know he feels thathe owes much to the patriotic Democratswho prefer princlplo to strict party ties.Indiana, for instance, was unquestionablycarried against fusion by Democratic votes.
"Ho recognizes the very great serviceperformed by Democratic and Independentnewspapers during the campaign.
"Major McKinley will endeavor ts seecollected a great national party that willgive prosperity to the country. He ex-pects and hopes that all men of all shades,of former political belief will be united tothis end. I have talked with some of themost Influential of the old Democraticleaders and I am glad to say they are tnaccord with Major McKlnley's hopes.
"The first movement he will make will beto obtain sufficient revenue to conduct thegovernment Further Issues of bonds wouldbe altogether too dangerous. Businessprosperity and stability demand that assoon as possible the government should beon a paying basis. To this end an extrasession of congress will be necessary, andPresident McKinley will undoubtedly callone soon after his inauguration.
"Legislation win be required to secure thedesired revenue, and Mr. McKinley will doeverything in his power to secure it, as
j well as the legal establishment of a policywhich will tend to put everybody at work.
, lit all this he hopes and expects that hewill be backed by patriotic men, regardlessof party lines.
"As for myself, I am not after any office,and will endeavor to attend to private business affairs, which need my personal super-- Ivision."
I Asked what Democrats of note he had! talked with on the subject of thel future.Mr. Hanna said: "I do not wish to name'them all, but I may; mention Messrs. W.C. Whitney and Abram S. Hewitt as ex-amples."

A GAIN OF Gt.OOC VOTES SINCE THOELECTION OF 1882.
First Time Kentucky Ever Went Re-publican In m. Presidential Year
Bryan Likely to Get OneVote on Account of
Errors.
Louisville. Ky., Nov. 7. ht bringsno material change in the political situa-
tion in Kentucky. The Democratic head-
quarters give out no detailed figures tasubstantiate their claims of carrying thestate for Bryan, while the Republicanmanagers bolster their assertions of successwith tables embodying the majority of eachcandidate in all of the several countiesand districts.
A call at Democratic headquarters to-night found a sign readlnr. "These head-quarters closed." None of the committee-men could be found for a statement Thefollowing is from Republican ChairmanRoberts:
"Kentucky has gone Republican for thsfirst time in its history In a presidentialyear. Complete official returns xrom iucounties and reliable unofficial returns fromthe other eight counties give McKinley &
plurality. Four years ago the state save)Cleveland 40,000 over Harrison, and gaveWeaver, the Populist candidate. 23,500 votes.
The fusion of Democrats and Populiststhis year was complete and the victory forMcKinley means, therefore, a reversal of64.000 votes, based on the figures of 1892.
"Our silver friends make a great adoover 2.000 Republican gain In the Eleventadistrict, but see nothing remarkable in again of 2,000 Democratic plurality in a sin-gle county In the First district They also)affect surprise that the Republican statscommittee has been sticking to its claimof 4M to 600 plurality for McKinley. laspite of the discovery of great errorsagainst Bryan in Hardin. Fayette. Callo-way and other counties, and say thatwhenever Bryan made a gain In this way;I sent a cipher dispatch to the Eleventh)district for a corresponding addition tothe McKinley plurality. These errors,which the newspapers made a great adoover in each succeeding issue, were theirown and not ours, and explain how someof the .newspapers gave McKinley nywhere
from 2,000 to jiOOO plurallty.when thscommittee figures, open to the. world, stood)
.between 400" ana 600 "for three 'days."At 6 ocioca on Ue uiuruuij hio
election, we realized that the result wouldbe very close and wired every countychairman who could be reached to rushcomplete unofficial returns and to watchclosely the official count On tha strengthof the answers to these messages, I issueda bulletin Wednesday evening which waspublished in.all the Louisville papers, say-ing, among other things: The Democratswill go to the Eleventh district with 13,609In their favor. Returns from one-ha-lf ofthe counties of the Eleventh district al-ready in assure considerably over 14,000 Re-publican plurality.'
This bulletin was based upon actual un-official figures from every county but five,and has stood the test from last Wednes-day until y. In spite of the errors ofnewspaper correspondents and the surpris-ing claims of free sliver leaders, evidently!based upon before-electlo- n estimates ratherthan after-electio- n returns. This committeehas had nothing to do with the conflictingreports of newspapers, and the big 'gainsand 'losses they have been finding In un-official returns for several days have notchanged our tables at any time.
"The official count has resulted In occa-sional changes from our unofficial figures,but they have about balanced eac other,and my,ffgures of Wednesday are prac-tically confirmed by the official count.
"At this writing, our almost complete re-turns show that the Democrats go to thsEleventh district with 13,822 plurality Intheir favor, and are met there by 14,273 Re-publican plurality, giving a net plurality)of 4M for McKinley.
"SAM J. ROBERTS, Chairman "A complication has arisen that will like-
ly divide the electoral vote on the basisof twelve for McKinley and one for Bry-an. This Is due to the fact that a largenumber put the pencil mark opposite thsname of tho first elector Instead of underthe party device, thus causing the head ofeach ticket to run ahead of their col-leagues. In this way. the foremost Demo-cratic elector, W. B. Smith, gets more votesthan the hindmost Republican elector. Bet-tors on the Bryan end say this preventstho McKinley men from winning, andraises an Interesting point However, allbets are held up until the state canvassingboard count
