AND now the question is asked, can
the electors from Kentucky be legally
counted? The law in that State pro.
vides for vote rira roce, and voters ex.
pressed their preferences for Tilden and
Hendricks or Hayes and Wheeler with
out reference to electors. OF course the
vote from that State ought and will be
counted, for the choice of the people
should be respected regardless of tech
nicalities; but if one of the States that
have declared for Hayes hal cast their
votes in this manner, Democratic papers
would have been frantic in their de-
mands that the vote be thrown out.
