The Alabama election on Monday last,

Inc AfHDutnu ettCtfOn Ou mOuudN meti
the nrst State election since TILDEN's nomina-
ton, WIS carried by the Democracy in a way
that elbows the strength and popul irity Of the
St. Louis ticket. 10 TO 1874, the State was Re-
publican, but In that year It turned 70 the Dem
ocra,io par v bva majority Of l3.0OO. The gain
upon that majority, In NoDdaJ's election, was
very greet, and the full returns will perhaps
show that 1t was doubled. or even more
than doubled. Nearly all the members
OF Congress elected are Democratic. and
the State Legislature, 10 both branches.
Ia almost entirely Democratic. Order and
quiet prevailed everywhere during the election,
and there was no distur ance In any part OF the
State. JAY GOULD was foolish enough to think,
up to Monday last, that hia party was likely to
carry the State. and this he told his stool pigeon
10 say, would be an "omiDous event for the
Democracy" JAY GOULD Ia a failure In politics.
The local elections IN Kentucky on Monday
also showed Democratic gains In tho various
counties In which they were held.
