THE ELECTION IN KENTUCKY.

1t seems now to be generally conceded that Mr. More
heads majority will not exceed 4oCO II may possibly
fall low 3262 the majority which Gen. Scott obtain
ed in Kentucky the last presidential election After
frauds the most deliberate and bareaced after obsruc
tions and violence at the polls without parallel in our
history and after atrocities which make the flesh creep at
the simplest recital of their revolving horrors the fruits Of
the late election in Kentucky may be
summed up in a few words A know-nohing governor
has been elected by majority not much, if any larger
than that given to Gen. Scott and one democratic
member of Congress has been defeated through the
infamous nstrumentalies already alluded to. Who
can doubt what the result of the election in Ken
lucky would now be if it had been conducted in the
same spirit of integrity the jealous regard for the
constitutional rights of all classes of the citizens and the
same faithful observance of the laws which characterized
the elections Virginia. North Carolina Tennessee Ala
bama, and Texas Who can doubt the triumphant cleo
ton of Clark if the path Of naurazed citizens had not
been beset by assassin and while murder reigned with
out the most infamous frauds the ballobox per-
petrated within
fearful number of lives have been brutality sacrificed
the humble enemeuts OF The poor and oppressed consigned
to the flames nearly thousand citizens deferred by
threats and cuts and stabs and the murderous discharge
of rifles and revolver from exercising the dearest rights
Of American feemen, the fair of once proud city
furnished forever and blow given to its growth and
prosperity which it may recover from. And for
what In order to elect Morehead by majority which
the wings ashamed of in 1884, and in order to send
Humphrey Marshall to Congress
According the returns Mr. Morehead is the governor
elect of Kentucky He may justify his future assumption
Of gubernatoral power upon the plea that he took d.
part had direct agency derived necessary aid
from the Louisville butcheres; and that if the two thou
sand democratic voters to whom the baiotboxes
closed had been heard he would still have majority of
few hundred But such plea can be offered by Hum
phrey Marshall VIII he have the eronery to claim
in Congress when his wreched credentials win be
companed by the danable record of fraud robbery,
son and murder? Or claiming will American House
of Representatives recognise the pretender to its honos
duties, and responsibilities
