Lou1svILLE.Ky. Nov 10.-The best Indication
that the Goe bel people have practically given
up hope OF winning the recent election 10 the
tone OF their representative organ. the Courier
Journal. this morning. II acknowledges to
Taylor plurality OF 1912 subject to alteration
by the result OF the official count In forty CON
tested precincts and thirty uncounted pre-
clnts in Jefferson county. and by the decision
OF the State Board on contests affecting county
pluralltles for TAYLOR aggregating 2.S49."
The plurality should be 1892. owing TO an
error in addition. and will BIO increased several
hundred whom the uncounted precincts. nearly
oil Of which are Repu blcan, are recorded. The
Courier journal says not q word edtorially
about the decision In Nelson county which
cost Goebel 1.leS votes. nor In fact
about any prospective contests. Henry
Wattorson has an editorial article In
which he seeks to allay the feeling OF indig-
nation among many business men who took
offence at being claased "a "marnuders and
thieves" in Mr. Watterson's editorial article
on the Honest Election League" With this

The prospect OF violence, however, Is growing
smaller and smaller as Goebsrs chances con-
quiet. but ia ready for any emergency.
The Jefferson County Commission will finish
the OUlclul count anu Will tnen SIT
rs a Contrasting Board From present indica-
tions, little change from the 1000 plurality In
the city and county may be expected.
A synopsis Of the vote in the State shows that
In the homes Of nearly every Goebe leader tho
usual Democratic plurality was reduced from
so To 40 per cent. and In several cases was
turned into Republican plurality Goebel's
home, Kenton county. was the exception. but
