words has been one of the secrets of his
remarkable success as a lawyer"
AS a member Of the State Senate Goebel
has made a record, the greater part of
which is still fresh in the p .bl mind.
From the beginning of his career in pol
tics he fought the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad and other corporations. He ha
been the author of several important sta e
laws, notably the Goebel election law.
which regulates elections in Kentucky ami
has been much criticised. 1t is held that
this law gives the dominant party TO-
much control of the election machinery.
Has Killed His Man.
William Goebel himself knows how to
use firearms, and an incident Of this kind
in his life was one of the leading points
brought against him in the recent X n
lucky campaign, when his opponents often
referred to him as assassin"
The incident originated in a bill which.
through Goebels influence, passed the
Kentucky Legislature reducing TO / cent
the toll across the bridge leading from Cow
ington to Cincinnati. Col. John San ord
an eX-Confederate officer, who was then
secretary of the Farmers and Trad r.
Bank Of Covington, and was one of he
largest stockholders in the bridge compa-
NY made an attack on Goebel IN Gov
ington newspaper. The two men had he
longed TO rival factions In the Democratic
party, between which personal enc unters
and convention fights had been Fl quent.
and the bridge toll episode brought the
feud TO a crisis.
Goebel responded to Sanford's newspaper
attack in a caustc unsigned article, which,
ii is said, caused Col S3nfo d TO announce
that he would shoot the author on sight.
on April H. 1895, Goebe. accompanied
by Attorney General Handrick and Frank
Helm president Of the First Ma i5nal Bank
of Coylngton, were about 70 enter Helms
Office. AT the door stood SANFORD He
shook hands with Hend1i k, and, turning

LEGAL VIEWS OF THE CASE.
Depends ON Governors Right to Adj
iOuPn the Legislature.


Washington. FEB. IA number of law
yers of the House, of both political par
ties spent part of to-day in consideration
of the legal phases of the situation in
Kentucky.
Representative Grosyenor of Ohio said:
1T is beyond cavil that Taylor, up to
whatever action was taken yesterday, was
! legally Governor OF kentucky. because he
held the certificate of election from the
Board Of Elections under the .Goebel law.
If the contest was legally passed upon by
the terms of the Goebel law, then GOebel
| IS Governor and Taylor is outed. 8"
Representative Rhea of Kentucky said:
The Democrats have pursued constitu-
tonal and peaceful methods, and public
sentiment must and will sustain this par
ty. Goebel has been duly declared Govern
or by the only constitutional body author
lied 10 determine the rights of the CON
test in perfectly legal and orderly man
ner, and viii be sustained in the courts
Of this country"
Representative Miers. Democrat, of In
diana, who was judge of the Circuit Court
of Indiana for two terms, said that he
had read The provision of the Kentucky
constitution empowering the Governor 70
adjourn the Legislature in case of war,
ihsur.ection or pestileuce" to such place
as he should fix. and it seemed TO MIN
that the Governor must be the judge OF
tn existence of a state of instruction.
Gov. Taylor having declared d state of
instruction and adjourned the Legisla-
'ure to meet Feb. 8, it strikes me in an
oft-hand way, that no action taken by the
members of the Legislature before that
date could be legal.
Representative Grout of Vermont said:
The certificate of the election commits
s'oners made Taylors tit'e as Governor
complete till legally set aside by the Leg
stature. The committee of the House had
found Goebel elected, and if that finding
had been legally adopted by the Legis.a-
ture it would unques tionably make Goe-
bel the legal Governor
But meantime GOV Taylor, under a
provision in the constitution, called the
Legislature together az London on the
ground that Frankfort was in j state of
insurrection, Whether the condition in
Frankfort jus tifed this action OF the Gov
ernor is, of course a proper inquiry for
the courts. Until held Illegal by the
courts, it must stand, and the fact re-
mains that the Legislature was not al
lowed to, and did not assemble. as a
legislature and adopt the report giving
Goebel the seat"

AS MAN AND POLITICIAN.
GOebeI One of the Most Novel Fig
ures in His state.
From the Baltimore Sun.

FROM the Baltimore sun.
Though a Kentucky politician, william
Goebel is free from many of the charae.
teristics which are commonly attributed
to men of mat class.
He does not drink.
He does not smoke or use tobacco in
any form.
He does not play cards for money.
He is said to be woman hater.
His most marked characteristics are his
GOODNESS and determination Opponents
have described him as an iceberg While
the mass OF politicians at ga therings in
Kentucky have been INDUCING in fervid
oratory and appeals to sentiment, he has
sat still without a trace of emotion on his
pale face, coolly calculating the chances
for getting the most votes
Born in Sullivan county, Pennsylvania,
forty-two years ago, Goebel, when a boy.
was taken by his parents to Covington.
KY, which has been his home ever since.
In early life, it is said, he was a boot
black. After receiving a good educa ton
through his own energies he made the
friendship of Gov. John w. Stephenson,
who TOOK the young man into his law Of
flee. In a few years he had shown sucn
ability that Gov Stephenson took him as
a law partner Upon Gov. Stephenson's
death, Mr.. Goebel was made his executor
without bond
GoeDels ability as a lawyer attracted the
attention of John G.. Carlisle am for sew
eral years he was the partner of that
great Kentucky lawyer. Twelve years ago
ne was elected to the state Senate to rep
resent Kenton county. He has served
continuously as such ever since, and is
now a holdover senator. That is the only
public office he has ever held, except that
he was a member of the Kentucky Consti-
tutiondi Convention. He was a candidate
for judge of the Court of Appeals in the

to do so. l wish TO keep no man in

declared by the law making power Of the
state, mas no right to issue such an order. 3"
When asked il he intended to offer re-
sistauce to a detachment of troops IL one
should be sent to release Hayes, the war
den replied:
"Oh no. II would not do for me to at
tempt any such thing as that 1 have
fourteen guards only, and they could not

could obtain plenty of help II he needed

out Mr.. Hayes, | think they are likely 10
get them. If convicts are taken out of
here in that manner, the responsibility
will rest on the men who take him away
