In controversy were certified for w. p. in

Nelson county. ordered these votes counted
for w. S. Taylor and this cg1er IS affirmed.
The State Election Commission mas been
called to meet Ecxt Saturday, Dec . to
canvass the returns of the late election.
The Democratic leaders now assert that
Goebel will not contest before the Legis-
lature if he is not given the certificate Of
election by the State Election Board. which
eonvenes here next Saturday. Taylor's man.
ayers are dubious on this point. as the state
ment that he would not contest has never
been made by Goebel himself. Yesterday
was the last day under which contests could
be filed against the Republican members
elect TO the Legislature, and the fact that
about ten contests were filed against men,
bers of the House and three in the Senate
is regarded as an indication that the Demo-
Gratis are doing this as a precautionary
measure TO secure a safe majority in both
houses in the event a contest is determined
on. Senator Goebel was reinforced to-day
by the arrival of nearly all the candidates
on his ticket. Chairman Smith, of the state
central committee, and others, who will be
here till the fight ends. Information here
is that several thousand people from out in
the State will be here at the meeting of the
State Election Commission.
Governor Bradley still maintains a guard
at the State Arsenal, and il is said the
States war department. was never so fully
equipped with shooting material. The Gov
ernor himself absolutely refuses to disclose
his position. but the movements of Adjutant
General Collier are supposed to be under
his direction. These strongly indicate that
he is preparing to take some kind of vigor-
Gus action, and the prospects for trouble
seem TO be growing as the day of final set

will occupy almost the entire rear half of
the hall, and the pet stock the

in the corridors. The expense attaching to
the cooping of the poultry and pigeons, the

what an ordinary Entertainment would cost.
A very gratifying feature 10 the breeders

parts of the State, which will no doubt at
