Some Of the voting in Kentucky, as elsewhere,
at the recent election, pretty much Of farce.
From tabular statements in twenty four counties
in Kentucky, tho proportion of votes was from
80 to 100 per cent. of the whole male population
over 81 years. In Lyon county every wh'te male
of2l years Of age seems 10 hare rofed' ana IN
Larue county fifteen more rotes were cast than
the Andi,or's report sho,cs males in the county
over 81 years ofage..
In view of facts like these, tho Louisville Jour
nal says:
awe cannot avoid the conclusion that gross frauds
upon the elective franchise have been pcrpctratcd
even il believed all the residents TO he voters tu-
ly ten per cent if not more, of the white males over
81 years old in Kentucky not voters, and yet in
one hundred counties, not including Jefferson, Non
ton, Campbell and Greenup, 90 per cent Of the males
over 81 years old have voted
The Journal is convinced that an immense
fraudulent vote was cast, and calls for the natu-
raj remedy of Registry Law.
