,xrrNTIoN OF KENTUCKY REPUB-
LICANS, IF DEFEATED.

uefore the Legislature, But, in the
event of Defeat They Are Pre-
.ored TO Go to the United States
rourt-Fight Over the RuIes-House
En- rake Up Case Against WhnIIen
and Ryan.
r,rankfort, KY, Jan. 7.-Republican lead
ere who are on confidential terms with
c,,. Tavlor intimated tonight that the
p.rnbItcan contestees may not quit the
4.5i in the event the Legislature and the
s4,ta contest Board vote to seat Goebel
and the other Democratic contestants.
They have by no means given up hope
,1st they will win in the Legislature, but
are f1king time by the forelock and look
ing around for other moves in case Goe-
heI should win. It is generally believed
tbsv will seek to raise a federal question
and take the case into the United States
Court
one of the questions which could be
raised. they claim, would be on the GUST
ing of Lieut.. Gov Marshall as presiding
,aioer of the Joint assembly in the event
of the adoption of the rules, as passed by
the Senate yesterday, and also on the
irrespective unseadng of the Republican
members of the Legislature.
The House will tomorrow take up the
Information filed in the Senate Saturday
charging Whalen and Ryan with attempt
ina 10 bride Senator Harrell in the gov
ernorship contest together with the res
oution providing for joint investigating
committee. The resolution is practically
certain 20 go through, as the Republican
and anti-Goebel leaders say they cannot
afford to defeat an investigation, though
they regard the whole affair as inspired
by politics.
The fight over the rules will not come
up until Thursday. and this is expected
TO furnish something like a test of the
Goebel and anti-Goebel strength in the
cover branch. The Republican leaders
admit that the adoption ofkthe rules as
sent over from the Senate will be very
serious blow to the minority.
Senator Barrett chairman of the Re
publican joint caucus, has called that eau
Gus TO meet tomorrow night to nominate
a candidate for senator. Former Gov. w
O. Bradley will be the nominee. He will
probably be named by reclamation. His
nomination is the result of a peace which
has been declared between the Republi-
can factions, one of which was headed by
the ex-governor and his appointees, and
the other by Minister c. w. Godfrey Hun
ter. Senator Deboe, Gov. Taylor and ell
of the national administration leaders in
kentucky.
Representative Orr, Democrat, has pre-
pared a bill which he viii introduce
Tuesday repeating the Goebel election
commission law and providing for a BIZ
partisan commission.

They used TO tell a good story about
Boutelle in connection with the campaign
of 1884, says the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nails Washington correspondence. He
ido.ized Blaine, and for years there was
bad blood between him and Reed, because
Reed acted as though he thought himself
as great, or greater, man than the Plumed
knight, The story Is that Boutelle ac-
companled Blaine on his Western tour IN
1884. When the special pulled out of New
York Boutelle rushed over to Blaine's
scat, his face white with anger and his
voice vibrant with passion. Holding in his
trembling hands a copy of the New York
Tribune, he pointed to sn article and ex-
claimed: WAS there ever such fatuous
blundering as that?" For half an hour he
commented on the article to the half-score
persons who had gathered round. The
Tribune was Blaines chief organ. as every
one knew, but the fiery Yankee of French
extraction continued to pour hot shot into
It, Finally Blaine said: Charley do you
know who wrote that and procured It's
insertion in the TribuneY' NO" was the
answer, but take IL that 1t was White
law Reid, or some other damned fool"
'You are wrong, Charley" replied Blaine,
II wrote it and had the Tribune print it,"
