LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 23.-There is
great excitement and Indignation here
over the announcement that the Repub-
lcan National Executive Committee
have been informed that in Kentucky
the votes were not cast for the Electors,
but for President and Vice President
direct, and that an effort will be made to
prevent the issue of certificates OF cleo
sion to the Electors. AS the Courts are
all Democratic. just how to get an adju-
dication of the matter is now being dis
cusseG.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Hov. 23-Democrats
who are well posted and who have fully
examined the question, claim that there
is nothing in the alleged IrreguIarity OF
voting in this State. While they admit
that there is some point in the facts as
stated by the Republicans, they say the
whole vote could not be nullifed in any
case, and that in many of the interior
counties the vote was cast viva voce fol
the electors, just as the Republicans
claim it should have been, ana that il
| any event the Democratic Electors are
elected. That il will not alter the re
suit whether it be admitted that the
whole vote was fairly cast and their ma
jorty put at over 10000, or four-flths Of
the voting places thrown out and the
majority left 6,OOO.
