The New York Herald has been en-
~deavoring to ascertain how the Demo
crazy OF the country stands in regard
to the Presidential nomination in
1898. In twenty-seven States the
Democratic members of the Legisla-
ture expressed their preferences, and
Cleveland received 1913 votes, Hill
1899, scattering 276. The South is very
strongly in favor of Cleveland, and
New York was the only State that re-
turned a majority for Hill, the Gov
ernor getting 81 out OF 80 votes cast.

The House of Abraham Backer of
New York Goes Under-LfabiIit;e.,
$4,OOO,OO0.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Abraham Backer,
dealer in commercial paper at 295 Broad
way, made an assignment without prefer
ence to Benjamin F. Einstein of Townsend,
Dyett & Einstein, lawyers. His liabilities
are about 81 100000. Mr.. Backer was a
heavy dealer in commercial paper, and also
the capitalist of the firm of A. Backer &
Co., dry goods commission merchants at
285 Broadway. He also manufactures
goods at Glastonbury, Conn, where he
has fine mill. Their goods were p1inci-
pally for the southern trade. Mr.. Back
er's liabilities are said to be about 81 900,
900, of which 81, 500, 900 is direct and ST.
100000 contingent. The latter is
said to be all right, and no
loss is anticipated. The contingent
liabilities are mainly Endorsement
| on commercial paper discounted. The
liabilities are principally to banks in this
| city and elsewhere and some to individu-
ais. The assets, according to one who is
familiar with Mr. Backer's affairs, include
about 81 600, 900 of the bonds of the Geor-
gia Southern and the Florida railroad and
Birmingham railroad, about $3.50, 900 Ala,
bama state bonds and large amount OF
other securities; valuable mill plant al
Glastonbury, Conn. land $3.50, 900 to 5000,
600 worth of real estate in this city. The
trouble, he said, was entirely due to tight
money and losses in connection with the
Macon Construction company and the de
cline in the securities of the southern
roads which he had invested in. Mr.
Backer came here from Savannah, Ga, IL
1864.

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.

n SSA n
The Blue Grass State Gives the Usual
Democratic Majorities-yote of the
Peoples Party-Ncw Constitution
Carried.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, August 3.-With a
quiet election Kentucky has to-day elected
full state ticket, adopted constitution
and chose a legislature to enforce. The
state officers elected are: Governor, John
Young Brown of Henderson. Lieutenant
governor, NJ. G. Afford of Lexington. At
torney general, William ]. Hendrick of
Flemingsburg. A treasurer, superintend-
emit of public instruction, registrar of
land Office and clerk of the court of ap-
peals.
ALI are democrats and go in by ma ori-
ties ranging from 60, 900 to 900.
The republican party has not had in A.
T. Wood of Mt. Sterling 80 aggressive and
popular a candidate as Bradley was four
years ago, and the democratic majority
| will probably show an increase. Returns
are in, however, from only fifty out of 100
| counties, and returns are not full from
| these.
The new constitution was carried with a
sweep and the majority for it is placed at
anything from sc, 900 to 100000. 1t has
not lost in single county and in some
| cases the vote in its favor has been practi-
| cally unanimous. The heavy majority is a
great surprise to its opponents.
The Peoples party has polled only about
| 90, 900 votes. These have come mostly
from the republican party and from the
| cities. While the alliance was supposed
| to be back of the Peoples party it has
done very little for it on account of dis
| sensions which arose last January and which
| caused the retirement from the alliance
presidency of S. B. Irwin, the Peoples
candidate. The alliance has devoted itself
to the legislature and probably has prac-
tically gained control of it and 80 will con-
| troll the revision of the laws under the
new constitution. In only few instances
has the alliance put out candidates in OPP
| position to the democratic nominees, but
| it has taken care to control the demo
cratic nominations. In several instances
| where the alliance has made Legislative
nominations it has won. This is notable
throughout Owens, where Petit and Burk.
head, the alliance men, have both been
elected by 200 to 500 majority. Petit il
the former reading clerk of the house of
| representatives. AS beneficiary of the
democrats he is bitterly censured for his
detection to the alliance. He has nevel
| been a farmer and is not a member of the
| alliance.
The prohibition party had full ticket il
the field, but have polled light vote.

Work of the Commission Now in
European Interview on PoIyg-
amy.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Dispatehes from
the United States immigration commission
now in Europe to the treasury department
state that the chairman, Colonel Weber,
and DR.. Kempster have gone to Russia by
way of Germany, where they are now
prosecuting their inquiries. Commission
ers Cross, Powderly and Shulties will car
~ on their inquiries in Great Britain and
the southern portion of the continent. In
an interview between the commissioners
and the Mormon elder in charge of the
Mormon emigration at Liverpool that Off
cial, who is acting in the place of Brigham
Young, jr., stated that while he and all
Mormons believed polygamy to be right,
yet as the United States supreme court
has decided the anti-polygamy law
to be constitutional, the Mormon
church had adopted a rule against it's prac-
tice in the United States, and that all
Mormon converts are SO informed before
their embarkation for America. He fur
Their stated that whenever the question
! was asked converts were assured of the
rightfulness of polygamy, but of the legal
impossibility of its being practiced at
present in the United States or Great
Britain; also that they must not go to
America if they don't intend to obey the
law and abstain from polygamous mar
riages.
