CANVASS IN KENTUCKY PUT OFF.
GOebel-TayIor Contest Postponed TIL
Next Monday

A dispatch from Frankfort, KY last
night says: The postponement of the Of
fetal canvass Of Kentucky's gubernatorial
vote until Monday has, for the time
being at least, cooled the surcharged politi-
cal atmosphere in very perceptible man
ner. 1t is not likely now there will be any
developments until the meeting Of the cleo
ton commissioners. Although the candi-
dates for governor are in town, they are
keeping quiet, and their friends are emulat-
ing their example. There is no talking,
save in the direction of surmise, regarding
the possible action of the commissioners on
Monday.
There is a deeply settled belief among
both democrats and republicans that the
commissioners will not turn the matter over
to the legislature, but will surely issue a
certificate to either Goebel or Taylor. If
it is given to the former, ii is possible that
the matter may end there, as many of the
conservative republicans are of the opinion
that in view of the strong democratic ma
jority in the legislature, it would be practi-
cs,liy useless for the republicans to look
for anything in that quarter. If the GER
tificate goes to Taylor, it is a certainty that
the matter will be taken to the legislature,
where Goebel may finally Win out.
The republicans. however, are by no
Ineans a unit in favor of abandoning the
fight at the door of the Legislature. Some
of them are vehement in their assertions
that they will not abandon the fight until
there is no possible chance of Taylor being
governor OF the state
Governor Bradley has evidently made up
his mind that somebody will receive a GER
tificate of election. for he was busily en-
gagged all day packing up his private prop
erty in the state house preparatory to a
return to private life.
They are making my last days my
hardest days he said; but / guess there
will be no trouble. There are too many SEN
sible men on both sides to prevent anything
! OF that kind. j really don't see how any
thing can be done to keep Mr.. Taylor from
the chair He will go in all right

years among the Cape Dutch, in which
Mr.. Milford predicts that victory will only
be attained by the British after a long,
bloody, and costly war. He says:
"The Beers will fight like devils. The

then they have been preparing for war,
and practicing shooting, and they will re-
sist to the bitter end / don't believe the

and conquer the Free State, yet it would
be hardly possible to prevent them
The SwaZis are equally bitter against
the Transvaal, and it would need little en-
couragement to lead them to attack the

North Russell Street African Methods,

and Achievements of the Negro Race"
The speaker quoted from the laws of diff
terent States and said that the Afro
American council was preparing to test
the cOnstitutionality of the election laws
or Mississippi, Louisiana, and South Caro-
Ina. As a reason for not surrendering
the franchise, Bishop Walter said: The
negroes in the South are accumulating
property rapidly, and are therefore liable
TO taxation; the only weapon which they
possess 10 protect themselves against un-
just taxation is the franchise.
I'VE do not object to the franchise be-
ing limited by educational and property
qualifications, so long as the poor and
illiterate whites ard blacks are equally
affected thereby, but We do object to
being disfrancbised solely on account of
color and race antipathy"
The speaker, concluding his address,
referred TO the subject of expansion, say
ing: II do not think that Americans are
prepared TO carry on the work of eX-
pansion among the dark races of the
earth. The white man of America is i'm
pregnated with colorphobia. He has been
taught for centuries that the black man
has no rights which the white man is
bound to respect. Had the Filpinos been
white and fought as bravely as they have
the war would have been ended and their
