President Lincoln, which had hung

Some apologist for the recent hor-

and more humane to have executions
conducted legally than by mobs.

The cunringly devised scheme to
disfranchise the majority of the
voters of Kentucky, known as the
Goebel election law, was enacted two
years ago. Ii places the entire con-
troll of state elections in the hands of
the legislature. Goebel had his
whole scheme carefully blocked out.
He expected to be the next candi-
date for governor of Kentucky, and
he no doubt expected the popular
vote of the state to go against him.
He knew the Legislature would be
Democratic and that he would be
able to control it in his own interest.
AS this bold, bad plot gradually de-
veloped the people began to see
through it. Hence the heroic methods
that were adopted by Governor Tay-
lor and his adherents. The way to
Judge these people is to put yourself
in their place. 1t there is anything
in this country worth fighting for it
is the right of the majority to rule.
