WEEPING VICTORY.
Stalwart Democracy Achieves
A Signal Triumph.
EVERY DISTRICT EXCEPT THE
FIFTH GOES FOR SILVER.
The Democrats Were Aroused And
Thousands Turned Out.
CHRISTIAN ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
The people have spoken in thunder'
tones and a sweeping victory has been'
won for double standard Democracy
all over Kentucky. Bimetallism will
continue to be a principle of the Dem
ocratic party and we will hear no
morepf Shermaniem except in the
Republican party, whereit originated.
Every district in the State'has gone
for bimetallism and in several of them
the,goldbug8 did not carryj. cpunty.
Ninety of the 118 countiesheatfd irom
have gone for silver. Even in Louisville
the gold bugs had hot fights on
their hands in five of the nine districts
and in two of them only carried
their point by refusing to give the
silver men a count. This caused
splits and there will be five contest
ing delegations from Louisville; one
of them in Chairman Chas. R. Long's
own district. If there is any merit in
this contest, the Democrats of Kentucky
will doubtless take great pleas
ure in passing upon it, Bince Mr.
Long heads the goldbug delegation.
The following ib the vote by districts,
which 6hows that the goldbugB will
have only two of the 26 delegates and
they will be controlled by the unit
