REPUBLICANS NILL FIGHT.
WILL NOT SURRENDER THE Gov
ERNoRsHIP or KENTUCKY.
Claim That the Legislature Has De-
termined to Seat Goebel, Despite
Evidence, and That the Whole
Contest Proceeding IL Fraudulent.

FRANKFORT, KY. Jan. 13.-The situa-
ton In the contests for governor and the
state offices and the question OF what Is
going to happen when the Anal result IS
declared are tonight fruitful OF the most
extravagant speculation. II the adher-
ents OF the contestees, the Republican IN
cumbents of the state offices. carry out
the line of procedure they now threaten
by refusing to vacate, even In case the
legislature decides in favor OF the ID emo
cratic contestants, the situation would be
serious, and II the statements of some OF
the men high In the councils OF the party
are to be credited this Is what they pro-
pose to do.
X. j. Hampton secretary Of the Repub-
lican state central committee, predicted
tonight that several thousand anti-Goebel
men from all parts of the state would be
here to protest by their presence against
unseating Taylor and Marshal, and to sus-
tain them II the legislature voted to turn
them out. He denied that , any OF Those THOSE
Ing, as charged by the Goebel Democrats.
James Andrew Scott. one, OF the attor-
neys for the contestants n Int. the minor state
of soldiers and thugs here for the purpose
of intimidating the legislature will not
work; they are bluffing and no trouble
will hold on in spite of the decision OF
the legislature they may do this for
few days, but the courts would recognize
the regular state government, and IL Mr..
Taylor does not then give In he viii sub
ject himself to prosecution and all OF the
penalties against usurpation, which. have
no idea he will want to encounter"
Most of the Democratic leaders coincide
with Judge Scott. Ex-Gov. Bradley and all
Of the Republican leaders hold that the
contest proceedings are being conducted
In an arbitrary manner. without regard to
the law, and that for these reasons the
decisions - adverse to Taylor. should not
be binding on him. They file a DILL Of
specifications as to their objections to the
trial of the contests and the reasons why
the proceedings are Illegal. These are:
That the Democratic members Of the
legislature with few exceptions had their
minds made up. and were committed in
advance of the fling Of the contests to
vote to seat Goebel and Beckham; that the
committees trying the contests are fraudu-
lently constituted, and can have no just
powers, because Of the. fraudulent manner
In which they were drawn, as charged by
the Republicans and not denied by Clerk
Leigh; that the time allowed for introduce
ing evidence is 50 short as to practically
amount to a denial to the contestants of
the right to prove their cases and that tine
refusal to accept dispositions as evidence
operates in the same manner. The sum
total OF all these, according to Gov. 1ay-
lor's attorneys, brings the case within some
Of the inhibitions of the fourteenth amend
ment to the Federal constitution.

is to return next week to Kentucky to
aid the conspirators in driving from office
men who have been elected. The success
of the schemes already, developed at
Frankfort would bury the Democratic
party for decade In ignominy and popular
contempt. The success of these schemes
would be temporary surrender of a re-
publican form Of government. The future
Is dark, with threatened danger of the
gravest character.
'If the people of Kentucky will speak d.

to you, therefore, to read in the record of
the past twelve months the dark record of
defeat and disaster that may follow. dur

are still loyal to the platform of 1896, and
desire this year to give your candidate
for president the electoral vote of Ken

desperadoes In control of the Democratic
caucus at Frankfort to make the party

and desperate leaders now in control of

the same lines.
