KENTUCKY.
A complete state ticket and a Legisla-
ture are to be chosen in kentucky. The
canvass has been an exciting one because
of the existing of a boiling Democratic
ticket nominated by those who were ag-
grleved at the alleged unfair methods of
GoebeL the regular nominee for Govern
or. at the Democratic state convention,
and by those who object to what is
known as the Goebel election law which
places The control of elections and Of the
returns in the hands of a state board,
chosen by the Legislature, and consist
ing, thus far, entirely of Democrats.
Other tickets in the held are those OF the
Republicans. Of the Prohibtionists, ofthe
Popuiste, and Of the Socialist Labor par
~. Each of he Democratic conventions
declared in favor of Bryan and silver, and
the dividing issue between them, as be-
tween the Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis, is the Goebel election law.

In its early stages was conducted largely
on state issues. Within two weeks of
election, however, many Of the Repubh-
cans endeavored to switch The campaign
to national issues. and in this they were
aided somewhat by the action of the
Gold Democratic organization in decuar
ing for the Republican ticket partly for
national. and partly for local reasons.

possible by Republican disaffection over
party leadership-the result would be
hailed as a rehabilitation Of ex-senator
