THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.

The Maysville Eagle after stating that judge
Bucnker, lost by his religious opinions in Ictcher's
District alone, enough votes to turn the election
advances the following, which if trne-and it at
least seems probable-is not only explanatory of the
result of the election, but ought to invoke the in
dignation of all men of all parties. 1t is a crime
which ought to be visited with exemplary punish
ment
From the MaysuiNc Eagle of August %.
Anot or most formidable obstacle to the success
OF the Clay candidate, was-the proximity of Ten
neSSee! Five of the counties in MIR. LYONS district
bordering on Tennessee, have at the late election
poled nearly doubles the number of votes given at
| the Gubornatoria election in 1928 That there
has been large increase the population in those
counties since 1928, we will not pretend to deny
but that the increased vote is greatly beyond the
proporionate increase of population, most firm
ly believe. In the warmly contested congressional

Mr. Breathtt, "a brother of the governor elect but
of different Polilics,) the former gentleman was
elected by majority of about a thousand votes
now, the majority for the Jackson candidate for
Governor, is upwards of two thousand! And yet

in that quarter in fauOr of the ssHero" How then
is the discrepancy between the votes for Congress
i'll 1881, and that for Governor in 1892 to be ac-
counted fer2 Simply because Gen. Jackson was
from tennessee, and President jackson was in
Tennessee! Kentucky is, verify believe, in
moro than one sense, indebted to Tennessee for
her Governor.-Tennessee influence has been back.

But, with all these opposing obstacles, the COM

gives to the Clay party small majority-while a
large majority of both branches of the Legislature

be given to Mr.. Clay. by handsome majority, we
can never doubt, until the fact is proved, by ocu
