The complainants contended hat the act

consolidate, was such concurrent leglsla-
ton. The complanants held mat the char
ter of the Seaboard and Roanoke could
not be amended without e consent of all

ADDRESS FROM DEMOCRATS.
Legislature Presents 1t and Appeals
to the People.

Frankfort, KY, Feb 2.-The Democratic
committee appointed al the afternoon ses-
sion of the Legislature has issued the fol-
lowing address to the public on behalf Of
the Democratic members of the Legisla-
ture:
"The present crisis in Kentucky is with
out a parallel in the history of our repub-
lie. The best efforts of those who love
law and order peace and justice, are de-
manded in these deplorable and perilous
times Democratic representatives have
used legal methods and followed the plain
provisions of the law under unprecedent-
ed and exciting circumstances when the
Capitol of our commonwealth was fill
ed with armed soldiers and embittered
Republican partisans, and their rights to
occupy their seats in the House of Rep
resentatives was denied and their chosen
leader stricken down by the hands of an
assassin.
@" While the trial (the guberna-
torial contesD was progressing before the
contest board, hundreds of armed noun,
tain desperadoes were brought to the seat
of government for the purpose of intimi-
dation and for the further purpose of in
citing. a state of lawlessness. which would
excuse the calling out of the militia.
The Democrats suffered this indignity
calmly and with GOODNESS, determined that
the law. in so far as they were concerned,
should not be superseded by brutal force.
"The Republicans even with their arm
ed intimidation, were unable to provoke
the Democrats to violence.
Upon the morning after all the testi-
mony upon both sides had been heard by
the contest boards, at about the hour Of
II o'clock, Hon. William Goebel, then a
state senator and the contestant for Gov
ernor, was fired upon and dangerously If
not fatally wounded, by a band of as
sassins concealed In the building occupied
by william S. Taylor, as Governor, whose
seat Mr. Goebel was contesting. Imme-
diately the militia was summoned and
the executive building was surrounded,
and the civil authorities were denied the
right to search the building for the cul-
prits."

EDWARDS GETS APPOINTMENT.
The President Has Named Him as
Postmaster at Macon


Washington, Feb. a.--rhe President to-
day sent to the Senate the name of Harry
s. Edwards, the novelist, to be postmas>
ter of Macon.
This action settles the contest there as
between the regular Republicans and the
Lily Whites, and the decision is in favor
of the latter class as represented by Mai.
Hanson.
The appointment of Edwards is on the
recommendation Of Mai Hanson. This
appointment and that OF the postmaster
at Columbus were the only ones which
he requested of the President, and the
Presidents promise was easily obtained
Since then the regulars have tried hard
10 induce the President to change his
mind They first put forward Walter Cor
bett as their candidate, and afterwards
withdrew him and put up Col. r. d.
Locke the former postmaster because he
could command stronger business support
than Corbett. But the President has stuck
to his promise to Mai Hanson and to-
days formal appointment is the result.
