DECISION OF THE BOARD.
Two Commissioners Rule in Favor OF
the Republicans.

FRANKFORT. Ky, Dec S.-Following is
the opinion OF the election commissioners
on the gubernatorial contest:
occupying a place we did not seek. we
would gladly escape the discharge Of the
delicate and responsible duties which, at
the present moment, confront us. But, hav-
ing voluntarily assumed the responsibilities
of so important a trust, our duty is plain.
we are not at liberty TO depart from ele-
pentary principles. or to allow partisan
zeal to force us to any conclusion which is
not approved by our judgment and sane
toned by the law.
"In reaching a conclusion in this case. we
are compelled to construe, for the first
time, the statute under which we act. 1t
has not received judicial construction or in
depreciation at the hands of any court.
This of itself adds 10 our embarrassment,
and If possible, TO the magnitude of the
dlsagreeable task before us.
''The capital question on the threshold is:
What are the powers and jurisdiction of
the State Board of Election Commissioners.
sitting as a canvassing board which is the
capacity In (which it now acts? Are our
powers purely ministerial. or are they both
ministerial and judicial? May this
beard, under the law, acting as
mere board of canvassers. go 10
the bottom of any and all irregulari-
ties. misconduct and frauds, If any, which
may have been committed in the recent
election, and on the whole case, determine
whether or not what now appears on the
face OF the returns is true or false? May
this body inquire into the matter suggested
by learned counsel as to whether or not
the election in the city OF Louisville was
free and equal on account, as it is argued,
of an unlawful interference OF the militia?
May we institute an investigation and de-
termine whether or not the election in any
or all of the counties OF the State was or
was not he!a by secret official ballot, as re-
quired by law, and whether or not II was,
on that eccount. or for any reason, ile-
gally conducted and, therefore, void? Does
the power reside in this state board to con-
slider whether or not United State marshals
were present at various polling places
throughout the State with a view of in
timidating the voters? These are, as we
understand IL. the questions underlying the
whole subject.
There Is, however, one other question

Hear Centests-MinOrityO Opinion.

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. S.-The State
Board of Elections tonight gave out it's
official findings that w. S. Taylor for Gov
ernor and the rest of the Republican ticket
have been elected on the face of the re-
turns Commissioners Ellis and Pryor
signed the majority report in which they
hold that as a board of canvassers they
have no right to go behind the returns of
the county board. and their duties are
purely ministerial as canvassers, that the
face of the returns received by them
from the counties show the election of the
Republican state ticket and certificates of
election were ordered issued to each can
didate thereon.
Commissioner Poyntz presents a minority
report which he closes by saying: Il am
unwilling to certify TO fraud and to turn
Kentucky over the control of the bayonet,
Calling gun and the fraudulent tissue ball
lots"
Extensive preparations are being made
to inaugurate Taylor next Tuesday. The
Democratic candidates for the minor Of
fees of the state ticket, acting on the be-
lief that the commissioners opinion would
contain implications of fraud, have already

Contesting Board for the positions to which
they believe themselves entitled. They held
several conferences during the day, but
il was not definitely determined until 3
O'CLOCK in the afternoon to make the con-
tests.
The politicians of both parties left
Frankfort in great numbers during the day
and the town tonight was practically de-
serted All the Democratic and Republican
attorneys have gone home, the former
leaving this morning and the latter this
afternoon. Col. Jack Chinn, who has been
attached to the Goebel headquarters, left
late this afternoon. remarking, with
laugh, as he passed through the hotel door:
..I guess it is all up with us for this time.
There is no indication of any trouble.
There has been a great amount of money
bet on the election throughout Kentucky
as to who would be the next Governor of
the State and the bettors are trying to de-
eide whether, if Taylor is inaugurated and
later ousted by the Legislature as not being
a legal incumbent he was, in fact, actually
Governor at all In the eyes of the law.
The Taylor bettors construe it one way,
and. naturally. the Goebel men figure 1t out
differently. There has been so much money
wagered on the outcome that the thing has
really a serious side to it.
At the close of a conference to-day for
mer Senator Blackburn authorized the
statement that Goebel and Beckham would
contest before the Legislature, and that all
minor candidates will contest before the
state contest board.
