LEXINGTON Ky. Nov. 1O.-"Combnt force

Goebe' mass meeting last night. The people

headed the words to-day. for they gave the
Goebel Election Comm issioners to understand
that they cannot Ride rough shod-sver them.

whom were ready for any emergency. assem-
blod at the Court House whore the County
Election Com mission was to sit. asd gave this
member to understand that they knew their
rights and would maintain them.
EI-Stato Senator Charles J. Bronston was
their chairman. He is the Democrat who has
fought the Goebsl Election law from its incip-
iency until the present time. He smoke 10 the
crowd which assembled. He cautioned moder-
alton. He told the Goebel msn present that he
wanted nothing but justice. but he wanted that
and intended to have II at any cost. This was
more than the Goebsl men had expected from
last nights meeting. Last night they laughed
at the speeches and resolutions and openly
boasted that the men who had gathered at the
opera house would not fight and would do
nothing more than pass resolutions
The Commissioners seeing there was MOTH
Ing to be done but TO give tho Republicans an
equal show agreed 10 admit the Hon. II. 7.
Stol chairman Of the Republican County
Committee, to the room. and to admit Mr..
Bronston as the representative OF the entire
people, and then the Comm issioners hired an
attorney to represent them. Reporters were
admitted and the csnVassinR began under cir
cumstances which seem to indicate n fair
count.
At Barboursvile 300 men armed with
rIhes and revolvers made a similar request
OF the Knox county Commissioners and 1t was
granted. At Nddlesborough. armed mea

son, former Congressman. At Covington, the
Chief OF Police who had been too active in
Goebel's interests was arrested as we're two OF
his policemen and four election officers.
Al other places the Comm issioners were told
10y determined men that they must do their
full duty, and from. reports which come from
all parts OF the State II appears the Commits
sionsrs are afraid 10 rob tho people boldly.
Many of the Goebel Commissioners have been
told plainly that they would be lynched should
they throw out Republican precincts.
