The Kentucky state election, which
occurred Monday, passed off quietly,
the democrats electing their ticket by
from 10000 to 10000 majority. The new
constitution was adopted by a tremen-
dous majority. The peoples party cast
10000 votes. Very meager returns have
been received, but indications are that
the legislature will be composed as fol-
lows: Farmers and farmer democrats,
13; straight democrats, so; republicans,
10. The new constitution provides for
state laws to prohibit lotteries, trusts to
control prices and the most stringent
oversight Of railroads by a commission.
Prominent members of the peoples
party claim six or seven of the eighteen
seats in the senate.

rable figure in politics on account Of
ne prominence given the subject of
lien ownership in the Farmers Ali
