THE RESULT IN KENTUCKY.

A Legislature Was Chosen Which Is
Democratic, Four to One-It Will Elect
a senator.
LOUISVILLE, KY, November Fun
elections through Kentucky will not be
available for several days, but so far as the
reports have been received, 1t is pretty
certain that the relative standing OF the
political parties has not changed:
The only elections Of general
interest were for members OF the
General Assembly, which will vote for
Uuited States Senator. Senator William
Lindsay was elected last winter over Gov
ernor Brown and Congressman McCreary
and Stone. Lindsay then mad sixty per
cent of the Democratic caucas
votes. In the primaries fully eighty
per cent of the Democratic nominees
for both House and Senate were pledged
to Lindsay and are all friendly TO Senator
Blackburn, who will stand for reelection
two years later. The Kentucky Legisla-
ture will be Democratic on joint ballot oy
about four TO one. The only issues in this
election were factional, the dominant faction
of the Democracy being the Cleveland
party as opposed 10 the wing which sup
ported Mr.. Henry Watterson IN his oppo'
sition to Mr. Cleveland'S nomination. In
this city Tyler, Democrat, was reelected
for mayor by about $500 majority; the
Democrats elected their entire ticket. The
election was one of the qmetest in the his
tory of the city.

publican Gains

CHICAGO. November - The election to-
dav seems to be about astsud-off. Al mid
night the returns indicated that the Re
publicans had elected the entire Judicial
ticket and that the Democrats had secured
the county commissioners inside
the city. The judicial ticket
has heretofore been on non
partisan basis but this year the Democrats
broke away and nominated ticket OF their
own, and the Republicans seem TO have
elected every judicial candidate. The
great fight has been over the election OF
Judge Gary, who presided at the trial
of the anarchists At the time Gov. Alt
geld pardoned the anarchists ne made a
severe attack upon Gary, and the
fight has been one OF Cary
against the State machine with
the result that G my seems not only TO have
Dolled the full Republican strength, but 70
have drawn on the Democratic vote as
well. In almost every precinct in the city
and county he was from TO 10 per cent
ahead of the balance of the ticket. The
general result shows decisive Republican
gains over the Presidential election Of a
year ago.
CHICAGO, November S.-The Times con-
cedes the election Of the entire Republican
judicial ticket with one possible exception
and claims not more than five Of the county
commissioners inside the city.

AVERY CORRECT VIEW.
The Democratic Management in New
York Was Very Bad.


New YORk, November 7.-Comnent-
ing on the results Of the election, the
New York Stats Zett1lng will to-mor-
row say:
The Democratic machine in our State
has done its work thoroughly. 1t has
wiped out last years majority OF $1,000
votes and delivered the State into the
hands Of the Republicans, as far as this
was possible, in Yesterdays elections. II
is a terrible defeat for the Democratic
party, but will prove blessing
in disguise. II was better TO deteas the
party in this relatively unimpOrtant cleo
tion and in this way compel II 70 reform IL
self, than to enable its present miserable
leaders TO continue upon the road followed
OF late years. 1t is certainly worthy OF
notice that Maynard was most heavily cut
in three cities with the strongest German
American population. 1t can be said that
the Germans in New York, Buffalo and
BROOKLYN formed the nucleus OF the
opposition TO Maynard, in whose
nominate on they saw an attack against the
highest interests Of the commonwealth
against self.government, and the whole
spirit Of our institutions. Yesterday was
a day of honor for the German-Amerlcans
in the State, and their victory will encour-
age their countrymen throughout the
United States TO defend the liberty OF the
people, their government and honest ad-
ministration against all machines which,
parading as political organizations
form conspiracies against the most
sacred rights OF the peo-
ple and produce conditions which discreoIt
our Republic in the eyes Of the civilized
world. The influence of the German
American citizens upon the political devel-
opment Of our country has never been
demonstrated in a more practical manner,
and every politician, of whatever national
itv he may be, will readily admit this
The result of yesterdays elections fur
rishes US with serious lessons, and he tu-
ture of the Democratic party Will depend
upon the question whether it will be able

The Democrats did not allow the con-
test TO 60 By default, but made a most
vigorous f2ht with harmonious working
forces. Ex-Governor Campbell canvass
ed the State for Lawrence T. Neal all
last week, and the Democratic commit
tee was hopeful after Congress took ac-
tion on silver.
The Republican managers would have
expected such results Two weeks ago,
but they were astonished tonight. Gov
ernor Mckinley was
NOT SURPRISED AT THE RESULT.
The weather was pleasant all over
the state, and there was full vote Of
over OO,O0O. The decisive results OF
former years have been because Of q
small vote, those of one party or the
other not turning out; but the voters
we're out to-day all over the State, and
Mckinley has 81 majority over
All with Democratic, Prohibition aud
PODulist tickets opposed 90 him. This
is the first majority over all any State
candidate has had since Fosters cleo
tion, Just after GarheId's death. 10 lSsl.
Blaine had a majority in 1Ss4, but the
Republican State ticket then had only 8
plurality. Last year the Democrats
elected one Presidential elector, snd the
RepUbliCaa plurality was then l,O12.
M'EINLEY's PLURALITY
in 1891 was 21.5I1. In 1890 the Repub.
llcans had 10000 plurality and 10 1859
the Democrats elected Governor Camp
bell by lOs72, when there was a small
vote.
With the results so decisive, the 6E-
uring on district aud county tickets has
not been as close as in closer years; but
ft is conceded that the Republicans
have gained DO districts and counties
eyeryWhere by the local tickets being
carried through with the vote for Nc
Kinley. The Republicans are apprs-
hensiVe Of one part OF their victory.
The Legislature elected TO-DAY does not
select q United States SenatOr, and 10 is
over two-thirdS Republican, the strong
est since the war. Whh such large
working majority they fear Such legis-
lation by city members as may lead 70
defeat two years hence, when another
Legislature is 20 be selected that will
choose Senator Brice's successor.
The POpulist and Prohibition votes have
fallen OF as well as the Democratic. Nc
Kinley made his gains from all three OF the
opposing tickets.
