A study of the returns discloses some pe{culiar facts. One is that the democratip counties in the western part of the statcflr. considered the free silver stronghold, generally gave pluralities against the demo‘cratic ticket. This is explained by the theory that’the free silver men and th‘ia sound money men ‘knifed” each othern, one scratching Hardin and the othe'*r scratching the remainder of the ticket. | Later dispatches say republican claim and democratic concessions show not onl has Kentucky elected the full republican: state ticket, but that the complexion of th legislature assures a republican succe'ssqr to United States Senator Blackburn.

Their staite ticket is elected by majorities ranging fram 909 to 1,800. The new governor, Heber M. Wells, and the other candidates on the state ticket are Mormons. The majority of the legislature are Mormons. The démocrats attribute their defeat to Mormon church influence. The vote on the adoptibn of the constitution is about 35,000 for ahd about 5,000 against.
