The most significant fact connected with the
Kentucky election is not the Republican gain,
which though gratifying is necessarily of lit
tie practical consequence, but the disappear
ance of the Greenback and Workingmen's
parties. In the City of Louisville year ago
the Workingmen elected five out of the seven
Legislative Representatives this year the
Democrats carry every district. The two new
parties are said to have shown no strength
1n the contest. This is another of many signs
that the Democratic Greenbackers are return
ing. on all sides, to the party of their first
allegiance. This fact is likely to have quite
as much significance in this State as in any
other, and imposes upon the Republican party
the duty of making a very strenuous cam
paign.
