WHAT

Yes, if that election at Louis
vile was illegal it should be
thrown out. If the presence OF
the soldiers is just cause-if such
an order is beyond the authority
of the Governor-there is but one
thing to do: set aside that vote.
The Commissioners would not be
responsible to the people, but the
Governor, who, by unauthorized
and illegal orders, caused it; and
what is applicable to one precinct
is applicable to all others under
like circumstances. -.--.-------..----..
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1899-11-21
SENTINEL DEMOCRAT.

1t has information that Senator
Goebel expects the election COM
missioners to throw out enough
Republican votes to make him
Governor. Where the editor got
such information we are not ad-
vised. 1t didn't come through
the Democratic headquarters nor
from the Democratic press. The
fact is Mr.. Goebel does not want
to be Governor by having legal
votes thrown out or by adding
illegal votes. If the count that is
in accord with law shows him de-
'feated that would settle the matter
with him. We are law abiding
citizens and with the mix up We
can only wait the count and pos
sibly the action Of the courts. If
Mr.. Taylor is elected there will be
no trouble about seating him; if
Mr.. Goebel receives the certificate
Of election he will be Governor.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1899-11-21

That unaccounted-for freak Of
the editor Of the Sentinel-Demo-
crat, a semi-weekly paper pub
lished in this city, and sent out on
Tuesdays and Fridays, served as
sweet morsel for Taylor organs,
Taylorites and all other milk and
cider voters, who would glory in
the election, or rather counting in,
of a State Republican ticket. AS
yet we have found no reason for
the "flip-fop" that would be
strong enough to float feather.
To read the comments and OBJ
serve the eagerness with which
that double-header huff! Nuff p
was received and dispensed is evil
dence that a very serious blunder
had been committed, and that the
enemy was making capital of it.
Surely the editor is keenly sensi-
BILE of his error, and sorely abash-
ed when he sees himself embraced
by enemies and his picture and au-
tograph given out through a Re-
publican press. The congratula
tons Of opposing forces are his
now. but a few weeks later it will
be said, ''there goes the man who
tucked his tail in the Goebel- Tay-
lor contest at the first alarm"
Sympathy is due the man who
would thus err. His facilities for
obtaining news is no better than
that of other country newspaper,
and his mental faculties are no
more acute than those Of the gift
ed and trained of our cities, who,
up to this very moment, have not
been able to recognize defeat in
the Democratic party. Yet the
Sentinel-Democrat could, by keen
vision, discern defeat and gives
the whole thing up for conscience
sake. A man thus willing to sac
rifce friends and ambition should
be remembered, SO that upon a
tide or fame he may be swept into
position where he may revolution
ize politics?

Judge Jones, of Glasgow, has
passed on the Nelson county re,
turns and directs the vote which
by clerical error was given to w.
P. Taylor to be certified to w. S.
Taylor.
Evidently this was the intention
of the voters and if they so voted
no clerical error should disfranchise
them, for that was an error of the
Clerk and not the voter. But had
they cast their votes for w. P.
Taylor, then it would have be-
come the duty of the Clerk to
make out the certificate accord
ingly. This, in our opinion, would
be the literal construction of ri
gid law. The candidates should
have what rightfully belongs to
them-nothing more and nothing
less.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1899-11-21

If the Mckinley administration
was endorsed by the Ohio election
it was done SO by minority vote,
for Jones, Independent and Nc
Lean, Democrat received $4,000
more votes than did Nash, Re-
publican candidate for Governor.

Independent parties consolidated
what will be done for Mckinley
will be a plenty.
