MR.. GOEBEES DEFEAT.

Whatever the Kentucky Legislature may 90

tho action of the Elections Commissioners gives
rho final stamp of moral condemnation 10 MS
attempt TO steal that office. The general puDIc
have had no doubt for several weeks tnal MI
TAYLOR was the rightly chosen Governor Ano
real will of the people was too pam lor any
iugglery with returns to leave any DOUBT aoou'
that. No "canvassing'' by partisan body that
reached any other conclusion would nave hau
any moral weight with the country. But no"
Mr. Goebel's own Elections Commissioners de-
c,ore that he was defeated and give the GER
tiicate to his opponent
Onlv when II Ia remembered that these Com
miss,oners were the creation of Mr.. Goebel can
tho ,uu Significance Of their action as declara-
tion for Mr.. Taylor be appreciated. They were
nut in office for the express purpose OF enaDiins
the Democrats to steal the State. No pretence
was made that they were anythihg Du' pa
tsan bodv. and no doubt even the members
who gave the certificate or eiecuon 10 Nh
TovIor would have been glad to give it to Mr.
Goebel II they could have found any GROUND lor
doing So Indeed, their bias is perfectly ciedr
in the opinion handed down by them explaining
their action. They follow the FAMOUS e&ainple
of Chief Justice fancy In the Dred Scout CASE
and. after denying that they have JURISDICTION
over the merits of the case, proceed TO discuss
them at length. This is, of course, entrey
extraiudical. but perhaps 1t was the least
that Mr.. GoebePs friends could do under the
circumstances Nobody need be deceived ny
the yirtuous expressions about Anglo7Sa1oh
blood not tolerating military rule, and this not
being government by injunction. Ihose are
the stock phrases Of persons who have been
prevented from carrying out some rascaIty py
militia or courts They have been In the
mouths of Mr.. Goebers followers from the mo-
ment they were prevented from stealing the
State at the ballot boxes and compelled to take
refuge with the canvassing boards Inc EIec-
tions Commissioners, with their GoeDel sym
nathies naturally adopted them. EVERYBODY
knows that If the courts and the Governor had
not taken the action they did the Democrats
would nv riot have prevented the Taylor vote
being cast
If is evident that the foundation Is being lald
for q contest before the Legislature, and there
is no reason to expect any special importantly
IN that body. 1t will probably come TO the
rescue Of Mr.. Goebel If it can see Its way clear
70 do so. But it will require a good deal OF as
surance for a partisan majority, which dehD-
era+eIv MANNED to dominate elections and failed
n assume airs about intimidation. 1t also may
reonire a good deal Of courage now TO cheat

CAPTAIN HESTER ACCEPTS,
WILL DELIVER MEWOpI.T
ADDRESS IN DAWSON.
Exercises May Be Held in the Morning
Instead Of Afternoon. Ladies
to Arrange Program.

The committee appointed to notify
Captain Jno, T. Hester of Albany of his
selection to deliver the memorial address
In Dawson this year has been notified
oy that gentleman of his acceptance.
Captain Hester, who is SAID to be a
fine orator, IS distinguished old veteran
and courtly gentleman. That he will bo
warmly welcomed goes without saving
and no detail for the fitting observance
of the day will be omitted,
Heretofore people who live ont Of the
city have been prevented from atten,;ing
the exercises on account of the late honr
dC winch they have been held. 1t has been
suggested that the exercises be held IN
Cne forenoon this year, and the hour
VIII De fixed by he confederate
veterans when they meet next
Saturday. Ten O'Clock in the mornjng
mas been suggested by some as suita~
ole hour, ana it is probable that the snp.
gestlon will be adopted.
The exercises have been held in tbe
opera house in former years, but that
place is inadequate TO the accommoda.
ton OF the crowd that usually at,
tended, and the ACCESSIBILITY of change
IS also under consideration. If the ex-
erclses are not held in tho opera house
they will occur either in the court house
or at The cemetery. In many towns the
latter place, which seems more apprn-
pirate than any other, is used, and the
veterans, to which this question has also
been referred, will decide it at Saturdays
meeting. .
The ladies of the Memorial Society
Will meet in a few days and arrange a
program.
