His Doctors as whole Think He
Cannot Hold Out.

Frankfort, Ky. Feb 1.-Gov. Goebel
passed an unfavorable day, although he
was fairly comfortable when night came
on.
He has half dozen doctors around him
and the reports of his condition vary ac-
cording to the last physician who leaves
his room.
One doctor is confident thatshe will re-
cover and another generally allows him an
hour or two before he breathes his last,
His strength is maintained to a great ex-
tent by injections He has had several
sinking spells, out of which he was
brought with some difficulty.
He seemed to rally less readily from
each successive collapse, but held his own
steadily throughout the afternoon.
His kidneys have practically ceased
their functions and slight symptoms of
pneumonia had appeared, but have not
as yet become so serious as to cause
alarm in themselves.
The doctors as a whole entertain no
hopes of his recovery.
The news from Gov. Goebers room at
midnight indicates he may possibly die
before morning. Heart action has grown
much weaker.
Frankfort, Ky, Feb. ?, l a. m.-Gov.
GoebeI probably will live through the
night Fatal uraenic poisoning may de-
velop any time.

SAVANNAH Ca FRIDAY FEBRUARY ? 1900

affirmed by the State Board of Elections,
and stating that in the official report of
a majority of said State Board the GER
tificates of election were issued and the
incrmbents duly qualified
While reviewing all that was done from
the day of his Inauguration in December
to the meeting of the Legislature, early in
January. he details everything since the
case passed to the joint contest board Sc
lected by the Legislature, including the al
legged unfairness in casting lots for the
members of said joint contest board.
1t is stated that reference is made to
announcements that arguments would be
heard this week by the contest boards and
next week given TO deliberation in examin-
ing authorities and preparing the report
TO the Legislature on the contest for Gov
ernor and Lieutenant Governor.
Pretext for Rash Course.
When Senator Goebel was shot down last
Tuesday this individual act of cruelty,
which should be condemned by all. was
made the pretext of interested parties for
the most rash and desperate course of pro-
cedure ever known. Even such deliber-
ate body as the contest board brought its
deliberations to a sudden conclusion by not
pone its work until the heat of passion
had abated, and delivered an immediate
impromptu decision in favor of the victim
of the assassin.
Gov. Taylor described fully the condl-
tions which existed when he exercised his
constitutional duty in adjourning the Leg
islature to a point where no insurrection
existed.
After reviewing the scenes of disorder
and violence at the State Capitol during
this week, he calls attention to greater
dangers which threaten the common
wealth. and states that the state authori-
ties are unable to maintain order or the
majesty of the law, and therefore he ap-
peals to the President of the United States.
Admitted 1t Was an Appeal.
Gov. Taylor admitted tonight that ne
had sent a long telegram to President Nc
Kinley, and said that 'it was in the ma
ture of an appeal" He would discuss
the matter no further
