ADJOURNED WITHOUT AN

Tile Legislature of Kentucky adj
iourned sine die last week, without
eleciing IA United States Senator
| to succeed j. G. s. Blackburn, the
present incumbent, whose term ex
pires on the 4th of March, 1897.
Hence, Kentucky will be without
II representative i'll that Body, at
least, until after the, Legislature
meets in January, 1898, but as it
will be composed Of the same po-
litical membership and confronted
with the same conditions as the
session just expired, it is to be pre-
sumcd tina. it will be no more sue.
cessful in filing the vacancy at
that time, than at the session just
closed.
During the last three days of the
session, the State House was gar
risoned with State troops and even
the Legislative halls filled with
them, by order of a Republican
Governor. hoping thereby to se
cure a political advantage in the
election of Republican United
States Senator.
We had IA similar experience in
Louisiana during the era Of recon
struction, wien the State House
was overrun with Federal soldiers
by order Of President Grant, lie
gally elected Democratic members
of the Legislature ELECTED by Gen.
De Trobrisnd, the commanding of
ficer, and Republicans not elected,
seated in their places. The arbi-
trary action of the Kentucky Elk.
ecutive is being denounced in IN.
measured terms and it is to be
hoped that the Democracy will
profit by the lesson, not only in
that commonwealth, but in every
State in the Union, by RELOCATING
the financial question to the rear
and reuniting in oustiug these po-
litical vandlls from power acct.
