THE ECHO of the Republican victory in
North Carolina is heard again from Kentucky.
All over the State large Republican gains are
reported. To be sure that Republicans have
not been victorious, but the gains show that
in the futher the State of Kentucky may be
fairly debatabe ground. The Democratic
State ticket is elected, but the majority is
$4,000 less than that of the Presidential cam
paign, and at least 10000 below that of the
Gubernatorial election of last year. The Re-
publicans have made considerable gains in
the Legislature This gain has been made in
the face of the most determined oppos,ion
The colored voters were required in manv
places to read every name on the lists of can
didates or not be allowed to vote, by which
thousands were prevented from voting, while
others were not compelled to do this. The
voting in the State of Kentucky is by the old
method of oire ooce, the voter pronouncing
the candidate that he desires to support,
which in the hands of the opponents of the
Republicans has been a powerful instrument

THE WORLD wisely askes if Alexander 81.
Stephens, late Vice President of the Confed-
eracy, is Democrat, and seems to entertain
some serious doubts on this point. 1t GER
tainly does not come with very good grace
from Mr.. Marble who was kind of Republic
can when Mr.. Stephens was sterling Demo-
crat. Probably Mr.. Stephens never voted
for Republican, and would have voted for
Mr.. Seymour if allowed to do so. He is a
States Rights man, believes with the Nation
al Democracy oil 1868, in the overthrow of the
existing governments in the late Confederate
States. which in individual cases, un-
der the thin disguise of constitutions
al Convention, as in North Caro-
lima, the World now warmly advocates.
With large majority of the Democratic
p.rty in the South and good part in the
North, Mr.. Stephens does not believe in the
new departure. This is probably the only
point upon which the World and Mr.. Steph-
ems disagree. Both apologize for the Ku-
klux outrages in the South as the surest
means to elect a Democratic President IN

In regard to the policy to be pursued towards

Nobody pretends that the Cubans are a

make great deal of noise in New York, and
they are great patriots away from home. They
get hold of some reckless and adventuresome
Englishmen, Americans or Irishmen to do the
fighting for them, but they manage well to
keep out of the danger themselves. A few

foreigners against the Spaniards in Cuba, con-
sttute the so-called revolution, and we are

tue men, and their fighting, when they decline
to do it themselves. / tell tn. M if you want
