part Of their doings and explained The mode OF Demo-
cratic electioneering. In order 10 complete under
standing OF the matter, will give history OF things in
Kentucky since the return Of the who rode and raid
ed with the Morgans Jesses, Dukes and others Of the
Rebel partisan leaders We had election In August
1865 few months after the surrender OF Lee and at that
election the Republicans carried the State electlng
OF the Congressman and getting q majority upon the
general ticket BY informaty In the count this majority
was lost. The Republicans that p0ed 81 900 white
votes Then We had the Rebels DISTINGUISHED That year
Gen. Palmer busy catching and hanging such Rebel
gueTres as Sue MOndy and one armed Berry, and
Rebels dshesrtened and rebellion unpopular. The
next the Legislature elected and the COnserva
tive Union men, H. e. those who were like Mr., Critten-
den in favor OF the Union If Slavery not disturbed
and who remained Union until 1882 bidding for the
support OF the pro Rebel Democrats, secured their &C.
operation by promising TO repeal the State laws which
expariaed the who had left the State to join the
Rebel service. The result OF the election was that the
Kentucky Senate was a tie, and the House Democratic.
In that Assembly in the Winter Of 1866 commenced the
first KuKux operations. To get the necessary control
Of the Senate several Republicans were unseated in
summary manner They were returned to ther consi-
tuency now enlarged by the repeal OF all laws f0rbddng

votes for Republican candidates went down FROM ray

ton after the Inauguration Of this policy. only about
5000 poled by the Republicans. This raised
