that they were treated with me greatest
courtesy by the Canadian officials, who IN
every instance disclaimed The use OF
United States mail-bags and pouches Tor
their local business, except, possibly,
through inadvertence.
The report says, however, that 1T every
Canadian post-ofice they visited The ma

branded with United States, and at Wind

The Elections I'm Kentucky.

LEXINGTON, KY. August 2.-The cleo
tion here yesterday resulted in a victory
for the Democratic Candidates by increased
majOTities. Spur, for the state Senate, has
5S4 majority. AVID Mullen, for the Lower
House, has j02. As far a. heard from the
senators and representatives favorable TO
the reelection Of Hon. j. b. Beck to the
United States Senate have been elected by
full maiorities.
CINCINNATI, August Full reports from
Campbell county, Ky.. show a large Repub-
lican gain. Riley, State senator, and Shaw,
representative, ere elected on the Republi-
can ticket in KentOn county. Complete re-
turns are not in, but there are enough 10

DemOcrai) is elected to the Senate by a
| small m,ioriiy. One Republican, one 10.
dependent, aud one Democratic represents
tive are elected.
LOUISVILLE, KY, August 2.-Tbe cleo
ton in this city was very quiet. and a light
vote indicates little interest taken in the
result. The city and county delegations
will be Democratic with one exception.
LOUISVILLE, KY, August 2.-Kentucky
Yesterday elected a State treasurer, nineteen
senators, and one hundred representatives,,
and IN the Third district-cOmpOSed OF
twenty-oDe counties-a judge of the Court
OF Appeals. james ". Tate is reelected
treasurer without opposition, and j. ii.
Lewis appellate judge by a large majority.
The election, except IN few places, was a
very quiet one, and a small vote was polled.
The returns show immaterial Republican
gains in both senators and representatives,.
The last Legislature stood Senate, "a
Democrats and 4 Republicans; House, 80
Democrats and 30 Republicans aud Green
hackers. Exactly how the Legislature
elected Yesterday will sand il Is impossible
to say, but it will certainly be over
whelmincly Democratic, and with a.lirge
majority favorable to the reelection Of Mr.
Beck to the United States Senate. As
all the votes not polled are counted
against the call for a constitutional
convention, that important measure
is again defeated by public apathy.
Perhaps the quietest election ever held 10
this CITY was that OF yesterday. Less tban
5000 votes were Polled, where more than
10000 have been cast at previous elections.
seven Democrats weie elected to the Legis-
laiure from the city and county. Six are
known to favor the reelection Of Senator
Beck. About the same ratio will hold good
over the entire slate.
