KENTUCKY ELECTION.
Democratic State Ticket Chosen and the
New Constitution Adopted.

LOUISVILLE. Aug. 3-With quiet cleo
ton Kentucky to-day elected State ticket,
adopted constitution and chose Legsla-
ture. The State officers elected are: Coy
ernOr, john Young Brown of Henderson;
Leutenant-Goyernor, NJ. G. Afford of Lex
ington; Attorney, w. j. Hendrick of Flem-
ingsburg; an Auditor, Treasurer, Supern-
tendent of Public Instruction, Register of
the Land Office, and Clerk of the Court of
Appeals were elected. All are Democrats
and we're elected by majorities ranging from
10000 to 10000. The Republican party has
not bad in A. #. Wood of Mount Sterling so
aggressive and popular candidate as Brad
ley was four years ago, and the Democratic
majority will probably show an increase.
Returns are now in, however, from only
nifty out OF 119 counties, and the returns are
not full from these. The new constitution
has carried and the majority for it is placed
at anything from $4,000 10 100000. The
heavy majority for it is great surprise to
Its opponents. These have included some
of the best known and abest public men in
the State, including Senator Carlisle and
Governor Buckner.
The Peoples party has polled about 20,-
COO votes. These have come mostly from
the Republican party in four cities. While
the Alliance was supposed to be back of the
Peoples party, 1t has done very lttls for it
on account of disSensiOns which arose last
January, and " hlch caused the retirement
from the Alliance of the President, s. b.
Erwin, the Peoples rarty candidate. The
Alliance has devoted itself to the LegiSla-
ture, and probably has practical control of
that body, and so will control the revision
OF the laws under the new constitution. In
only few Instances has the Alliance put
out candidates in opposition to the Demo-
cratic nominations. While the Legislature
will be ominally Democratic, it will have
strong Alliance affiliations and tendencies.
The Prohibition party had full ticket in
the field, but polled very light vote.
The latest returns tonight indicate that
the Legislature will stand about as follows:
Farmers and Farmer Democrats, 49, straight
Democrats, so; Republicans, 10 The con-
stitutioD, which the granger Legislature
Will revise the State laws for, prohibits lot
teries and trusts TO control prices, and pro-
Vldes for the stringent oversight Of railroads
by commission.
