Manila, Nov. 14.-Major John a..

1t was one of the sharpest engage

forces were about equally divided.

officer, Capt Green, and eleven men
wounded. They captured twenty

BOLD PLANS TO
KEEP GOEBEL OUT
Governor Bradley Up
holds Taylor.
Preacher and Bank President
Among the Volunteers to
Prevent the Theft of
Kentucky.

GOeOel and his friends have been
making one of the most desperate
lights in the history of politics and
they will not give up until every
resource has been exhausted. They
have received positive assurances
that the certificate of election is to
be awarded to Goebel, and will at.
temp to seat him by force if nsces-
sary.
Kentuckians, who six months
ago would have been horrlfied ut
the thought of - resort to arms are
now preparing To keep Goebel
from taking office, and offering
eagerly to tie hangmans moose,
act as shsrpsho0ters, burn with

tratiOn.
The official count shows Taylor
TO be the winner by at least 5000
votes, but the Vote OF Knot and
Martin counties, which are largely
Republican, and every vote cast
for Taylor in Nelson, because of
an error in his initials, will, it is
charged, be thrown out.
ROPE THE ONLY RECOURSE.
When Col. II. Ii. Thornton, one
of Kentucky's prominent lawyers,
asked at Lexington last Thursday
night who would put the rope
around an Election Commissioners
neck if crOOkedness were detected,

These are men who have always

ing and lawless Kentuckians.
According to the Constitution,
CIV. Bradley must continue to act
until his successor has been law
fully chosen. He will refuse to
recognize the certificate issued to
Goeb' !, and if Unnecessary, will en-
ploy the State militia in prevent
ing Goebel's inauguration. Brad,
ley says he knows Taylor is the
choice of the people and Will in.
stall him.
Urey Woodson, the Democratic
National Committeeman, Congress-
man Dave Smith and few other
party leaders may refuse to follow
Goebel any further, but the ank
and file of the Democratic party
all that is left of twill stand
by him because personal an. bition
makes them afraid not to.
The Covington candidate is
blessed with that rare something
known as leadership and rules
with a rod of iron.
The Silverites have small cause
to gloat over the supposed victory
Of Senator Goebel.
TAYLoR's REAL PLURALITY.
If the day ever comes when all
truth will out, it will doubtless be
found that Taylor was the peoples
choice by from $4,000 to 10000
plurality. Such Wholesale fraud
were never witnessed anywhere be
fore.
Goebels managers expected to
wipe out Il plurality Of $4,000 with
ease, but they never anticipated
such landslide of votes as finally
appeared for Taylor.
MIR. Bryan made great bit with
the Goe bellies, but he drove from
HIM thousands OF men who voted
ior Brown and Taylor. The con-
sensus of opinion here is that
Bryan and free silver cannot carry
Kentucky in 1900.

men from being ambitious There are
already a large number of gold Repub-

of local enumerators as particularly
soft and desirable. There are many bit

candidates. First and foremost, most
of them will fail to get there, and, sec
ond, those that are appointed will find
the position very lean picking. Wide
circulation has been given to exaggerat-
ed stories concerning these places
which describe them as lasting indei-

The cold fact is that these enumerators
will be required to complete their work
in very few days, and their employ

their compensation not over So each.
