Buckners majority over Breathitt, 2,346.
Morehoad's over Taylor 4,468. Metcalfe's major
ny in the same counties, in 1928, Barry, $50.
The foregoing are all the full returns we have
received They leave the election of Governor We.
Ty doubtful, though still of the opinion that
Buck ner is elected. Morehoad is doubt elect
cd Lieutenant Governor by considerable MAORI
ty. We have the returns from several other coun-
ties OF the LIST and I'd days voting, which would, if
taken into the account, reduce the majority for the
Republican candidates several hundred votes.
From the Louisville Journal d. Focus of August IL.
Our readers will see that the returns from the
different counties too incomplete warrant any
certain inference to the general result ofthe late
Elections We Gun only say, that the intelligence.
as far it has como to hand is favourable to the
National Republican cause. The defections from
the administration are many and important. Mr..
Bucknor is elected, unless Mr.. BREATH It's vote in
those parts of the State, from which we have not
heard, IL considerably greater than in 1923, when
he was elected Lieut.. Governor Our friends, to
ray the least, arc in higher spirits than oppo.
nents.
If it be true, that our party has triumphod in
Kentucky, tho victory is a glorious on. Our dis
tant friends know something Of the disadvanta ges
against which VIC have had to contend, but they
know not half. The whole line of Post Offices
from end TO end Of the State, is undor the exclu
slve control of Jackson partsans, who, in every
instance have taken active part in the election
and, In most instances, withheld every thing from
the public, that not calcHlated to strengthen
tho cause of the Administration If Lewis and
Kendall IN person exercise guardianship over tho
mind of the President we are certain that their
subaterns, the Post Masters, perform similar Office
'tor the people Of Kentucky. If the two Auditors
do not sufer the Executive to read any thig save
what they themselves have selected for him, their
Post Masters are equally careful not to permit the
Kentuckians TO receive any thing, what bears
the mark of administration orthodoxy. Not mail
has arrived from Washington, without being laden
yjth electionocring documents, under the frank of
federal officers, to be thrown through every ooun-
ty, scattered in every village and laid at the door
Of every cottage, Even tbs exclusive appropriation
facilities bas not been sufficient TO satisfy
opponent. In this city, runners have been hired,
at tho rate Of two dollars day, to scatter thous-
ands Of documents, Of Washington manufacture,
over all such regions Of tho State, as could not
be readily penetrated by the missives Of the POI
Office. In fact, there is not square mile in all
Kentucky, upon which the influence Of The Gene
raj Gove!Dmcpt has not been made to operate,
according to the StTictcst rules of the scieHce of
political corruption,
Under these circumstances, we feel authorized
TO say, that the triumph ofour party, if indeed tri
umPh has been achieved will DO regarded through
out the union event of no ordinary Importance
II will DO received evidence, that our citizens
neither be bought nor manacled. II will be
hailed az proof, that knowledge cannot be kept
from the people by the arts Of tyrants, but, in de-
Iisnce even of the bolts and bars Of power, will
diuse itself every where, like the air and The sun
Shine Of Heaven.
