| Lou1svtLLE Ky. Nov. 1.-THE Democrats
have evidently made their last grand stand
| play in the political contest. realizing their
| defeat in all other points Shortly after the
| County Election Board met this morning to
| resume the count OF the vote In Louisville and
| Jefferson county. Judge Thomas +. HarRis and
| Col. Bennett II. Young. counsel for the Demo-
| cratic candidates, gave notice that before the
| board issued certificates OF election to any ono
! they would make motion TO throw out tho
entire vote Of the city OF Louisville because OF
the presence OF the State militia In the city and
ut the polls on election day. AMI because OF
| gross frauds and great irregularities that have
| been discovered since the count has been In
progress.
| The principal ground for this action 10 the
| interference with the civil rights Of citizens
and tho free expression Of the voters by the
calling out OF the soldiers. Judge Hargis's
notice to the board read: For the Democratic
| candidates we now give notice that at tho
close OF the count and before any certificates
be issued we will move the board and oil other
| authorities that may consider this election 70
declare null and void the election held in the
J city OF Louisville on the 7th day OF Novem-
\ ber 1880.
"First-Because Of the usurpaton OF william
o. Bradley In calling and Illegally using the
| militia and overawing and intimidating the
voters and officers OF and at said election, and
, interfering with the progress OF said election
and with the duties OF tho officers OF said
| election.
| 'Second-Decause s. b. Toney unlawfully
! usurped power in requesting said William o.
Bradley to call out and use said militia for said
| purpose. when said call was entirely unneces-
sary and tho civil authorities were able and
| willing to execute any order made by said
court.
'Third-Because said militia was used for
| the unlawful purposes Aforesaid.
| "Fourth-Because said election was not a
civil election. but q military election.
| "Fifth-Because the said use OF said militia
was unlawful In every respect. and n criminal
usurpation OF power by said named persons.
and thereby the civil power was su aordinatcd
| to the military power, and an overt net Of q
reasonable nature against the constitution OF
the state OF Kentucky was committed.

electrical Realizing that the success o; the
move means tho election OF Goebs. the oppo-
siton has raised tremendous howl 81 in
dignation. The official vote outside OF Jerrr-
son county gives Gocbel plurality OF 2.2l3.
but the Taylor plurality OF 3.255 in Jefferson
county would civ. him a lead sufficient To
Withstand all other contests which could r.a-

the Republicans were extremely confident OF
the Gnal outcome. their confidence being In
creased by the certincatlon OF the full vote OF
Lewis county announced ths morning. The
impression had prevailed almost universally
that the Goebel managers had practically
thrown up the sponge so far as the Official
count was concerned
There Is no mistaking the temper OF tho peo-
ple on the subject. All the Indignation which
has been latent for tho past few days has
