Treachery Wins IN Kentucky.

The Kentucky election board has
decided that the returns show that
Taylor, the Republican candidate for
governor, together with all who were
on his ticket. was legally elected at
the November election. This would
seem to settle all the questions of il
contest before the board and give the
conduct of the public affairs of the
commonwealth into the hands of a
Republican administration. No one
supposes that Kentucky is a Republi-
can state. But Kentucky nor any
other state, Republican or Democratic,
need expect the official personnel OF
the governing powers to reflect the
sentiments of the majority, when men
having high standing in their party
conspire with the opposition to defeat
their own nominees. 1t is unavoida-
BILE, perhaps, for it is hard to pick out
the whited sepulchers until their
doors are opened, and then it is nearly
always too late.
Mr.. Goebel, the Democratic candi
date, was duly, regularly and legally
nominated by his party in convention.
That was never questioned except by
following of those who failed to get
what they wanted. But they held an
independent convention and nominated
full ticket in opposition to their own
party's candidates, and forthwith they
began to throw the weight of their in
fiuence in favor of the Republican
ticket. They never pretended that
they had the slightest hope of electing
their own ticket, but rather than see
man of their own party who had out
generated them in the convention
elected they would hitch themselves
onto the tail END of the Republican
party and be hewers of wood and
drawers of water for it If only they
could visit their own party with wreck
and ruin. Moreover, they were play
ed willingly as the tools of the Louis
vile and Nashville railway monopoly.
Goebel was the sworn foe of trusts and
monopolies and his defeat must be Sc
cured iu any event, and it was secured
by the members of his own party,
Goebel may not be political saint,
but he will not go down in history as a
man who betrayed his party. Those
who did betray him and conspired
with soulless corporation to defeat
him and their own party will be re-
member as men utterly unworthy of
the confidence of the Democracy of

FINANCE COMMITTEE
Of the Carnival Association Meets
This Afternoon.

The general finance committee OF
the carnival association will hold q
meeting this afternoon at half past
four when the sub-6nance com mittee
will make it's report of the subscriptions
raised yesterday.
So very little encouragement was
given the members that they decided
to call q meeting and discuss the advi-
stability of discontinuing their work.
Chairman Courchesne in speaking OF
the matter today said:
sour committee worked hard yester-
day and called on many representative
business men for their subscriptions to
the carnival, but the response was only
feeble. The men who are able to sub
scribe feel that the carnival ought not
to he held and accordingly do not con-
tribute as we had hoped.
"As one man expressed it, Ell Paso
has paid out great deal o. money in
public Improvements and for various
enterprises of late and the people do
not feel equal to the extra tax and
would rather defer the idea for several
years until more suitable time.

Mr.. Courchesne, ''that if the carnival
falls through it will give the city q
black eye, but if it is not the will OF
the people, certainly few individuals
cannot make it q success

Will Be Celebrated With Great
DOmD And Ceremony.

pOmp And Ceremony.
Elaborate preparations have been
made for the celebration of President
Diaz'ss birthday today and the national
independence day on the sixteenth
in JuareZ.
Last night and part of yesterday was
devotedIto theIcelebration of the pres
ident's birthday in order to make it
distinct from the exercises attending
the national holiday, which will be
gin this evening. People from all
parts of the valley are arriving to take
part in the national fete, which will be
en- q scale of Unprecedented splendor.
The popularity Of General Diaz was
shown by the spontaneous nature of
demonstr atoms in honor of his birth
day. The country is prosperous. cap
ital is abundant and there is work for
everyone. Hence. the general good
feeling. Last nights festivities were
from this side of the river.
The torchlight procession started
from the plaza about eight O'Clock and
marched through all the principal
streets of Juarez, headed by fine
band which was sent from Chihuahua
by order of the governor.
The church was brilliantly decorated
by lights which were placed around
the edge of the roof and in the belfry
and the decorations in the plaza were
quite pretty.
The celebration today will begin at
7 o'clock this evening.
At sn early hour this morning there
was the firing of cannon and the beat
ing of drums, etc., ushering in the
great national holiday.
