The Bare Facts.

The Kentucky situation is now up to
the courts, and Governor Taylor. the
rightly elected executive. will not abdi-
cate until the courts shall have passed
upon the questions at issue. Accord
ing to the infamous Goebel law neither
Goebel nor his lieutenant governor
were qualified under even Its elastic
provisions. Therefore Governor Taylor
will not step down until these questions
are settled beyond the question of qutb-
Bile or doubt
The case is simple and easy Of COM
prehensIon, after coming the political
history OF the state for the past Ave
years. Kentucky was never looked
upon as a doubtful state until Governor
Bradley swept 1t triumphantly In 1895.
In 1891 the Democratic governor was
chosen by plurality Of 2s,OOo votes, but
four years later Bradley carried It by
$500. This naturally aroused the DEM
ocratic politicians, and by a desperate
effort they carried the legislature Of
1898, having the large plurality of 81.
Then it was the law framed by Goebel
was passed which sought TO forever
maintain the ascendency Of the Demo-
Gratis by the most unfair means.
That measure gave the legislature the
power Arst of choosing their own cleo
toral commissioners, in whose hands
was placed the whole machinery Of the
electoral count for state otices, and.
second, of reviewing the decision even
Of these commissioners and overriding
it should they see ut.
The purpose of such law is too plain
to require annexation. 1t is matter
Of history how 1t worked. After the
scaling down. by the petty election ofi-
GERS in charge Of the ballots they could
not elect Goebel. as Taylor had a pro-
nounced plurality of 2,SsS on the face Of
the returns. In this election 1900
Democratic votes were cast for the
anti. Goebel Democratic candidates.
The case was well-nlght hopeless, but
tho electoral commissioners, appointed
by Taylor's opponents were looked to.
for a time, TO throw out votes enough
to reverse the verdict. with every
partisan inducement to do 50. they were
Obliged TO CONFIRM the original returns
and declare Taylor elected. He was in-
stalled into the governorshlp; where
upon the legislature. which at the same
time convened with its large opposition
majority, prepared to review the re-
turns, with the plainly understood pur-
pose Of upsettinE the findings Of their
own commissioners, and declaring the
minority candidate for governor
elected.
This was accomplished by the selec-
ton OF a contest board by the legisla-
ture, consisting OF TEN Democrats and
ONE Republican, which declared the
result in favor Of Goebel, And these
are merely the bald facts Of the case.

Senator EllEinS speech on the senate
substitute for the house financial bill,
or more properly speaking the measure
emphaticallY and unequlvocally declar-
ing In favor OF the gold standard and
the committal Of the United States to
the payment Of in indebtedness of ali
kinds In gold-in fact, fixing the gold
dollar as the standard unit In the mon
etary system of the country was .
masterful presentation Of the subject.
The measure has some faults which
Senator Ellklns points out, features that
are mot necessarily part Of the bill,
and the senator confines his criticisms
to the provisions incorporated In the
bill for refrtnding the larger part OF the
public debt on basis Of . per cent in-
terest. In this connection Senator El-
Irins holds that It Is not proper to mix
the subject Of establishing and defining
the monetary standard and strengthen
Ing the public credit with what must,
at best, under the provisions OF the blu.
be an experiment and which, if IL
should fail, prove hurtful to the general
purposes and policy Of the measure and
the public interest.
Senator Elllins maintains that the re-
funding Of the public debt Is purely a
practical or administrative question,
and should be eliminated from politics.
In the senator's Judgment the public
debt should be funded without any re-
ference whatever to the national banks.
and that the scheme should stand on its
own merits and by itself, an OBSERVE
ton that commends itself to the best
wisdom OF the country. The main object
Of the bill is to tx the gold standard
In the law OF the land. After that pur-
pose Is attained then 1t viii be time
enough to attend to relative matters Of
finance. The senate substitute Is an at
tempt to accomplish too much.

form"
Commenting on the speech, Mr. Bryan
delivered at Louisville. in which the
Nebraskan chained that the only chance
for silver was free coinage at the ratio
Of IS to /, Senator wolcott said:
This Is the gentleman whom great
party Is to choose as Its standard bearer
Ia gentleman who openly announces
that IL he were president Of the Uni
ted States, charged with the protection
OF the nations honor, he would an
nounce to the governments Of Europe
that the United States intended opening
Its minis to silver; that, IN his opinion,
the parity would be maintained, but
would threaten them. II they did not
Join US and the experiment failed, we
would pay our obligations to them in
deprecated money. This Is new doc
trine-tiat Of blmetallism by blael1mail.
IT Is not surprising, in the light Of this
statement, that investors insist on a
gold bond, and one can readily under
stand why Mr.. Bryan occupies the most
unique and remarkable position OF any
man in our whole political history It
Is but few months before the national
Democratic convention. and his nomlna-
tion 10 eagerly desired by both the great
political parties, The Democracy wants
him, the Republican party wants the
Democracy to have him and he wants

The True Enem1 q sllvsr.

WhAe Bryan processes to be the
special friend Of silver, Senator Wolcott.
Of Colorado, plainly showed in his
speech In the United States senate yes
terday, that he Waa its worst enemy.
There can be no hope for silver in this
country, except through h-metallism,
and only ir that case through interna-
tional agreement This was the feat
ure Of the financial bill now pendlng in
tho senate that Mr.. walcOtt particular
ly addressed himself to.
In pointing out MI. Bryan's antagoh-
ism 10 silver through his obstinate adj
herence to the Chicago platform the
colorado senator showed that bImetal-
llsm suffered Its severest blow ut the
hands Of the Bryan Democracy. Speak
ing to this point, he said:
"The Chicago platform offers no hope

T9TiRsDAY. MARCH 5. 1850.
The Rounding Ordinance.

The Register is again voluble in at
lacking the refundlng ordinance, and
for no good reason that 1t has given. 1t
lapses into generalities and attempts to
confuse the reader into q belief that he
will do an awful thing for himself and
the community should he vote for
st. The paper also Affects a
most tender concern for the
taxpayers and the worklngmen
hypocrisy that needs no unmasklng.
The ordinance is a legitimate hard
sense business proposition. Bonds will
fall due July l, and the city treasury
has no funds to meet the demand that
will be made upon 1t. This obligation
will have to be paid somehow. II not
by the passage of this loan the tax levy
will have to be increased to discharge
the $4,000 of the compromise loan. The
refundlng ordinance has nothing to do
with any loans except those which are
due.
The Register talks very glibly about
the ordinance not providing for the de-
crease of the debt when $4,000 is set
aside yearly for a sinking fund to take
up bonds that fall due, not only for ten
years, but for every year afterwards.
All talk OF the refunding scheme being
a trick by which "the gang" as the
Register Is pleased to call 1t, viii have
more money to squander Is a sample OF
the strength of the arguments that
paper presents against the adoption of
the ordinance. This attempt to give
the matter a political color. in the face
of the fact that the ordinance was
unanimously approved by the city
council al a meeting that was more
largely attended than usual viii not
commend itself to the thinking voters.
The animus Of the Register is lily con-
cealed, and its sollcitude for the well
fare of the dear public" is too we'll
known to charm any normal mind.
In the light of the clty's present flnan-
clal situation conservative thought is
in favor of the passage of the refunding
ordinance. That is the way the IntellI-
geneer interprets the humor of the
people.

1t would not have been impossible for
Abraham Lincoln to have lived and
celebated the 91st anniversary of his
birth yesterday had he not been assas-
slnated. 1t is great pity that he was
not spared to have refuted some of the
demagoguss Of the present day who are
imagining what he would do to-day in
the political controversies that are go
ing on. Although Lincoln was born in
Kentucky. his parents were natives of
Virginia, and the ancestors Of his pa
ternal grandfather came from Pennsyl-
