ArcoriilriR- to Comity ComIHlloll, lli-ttirn JcITitkiiii County flisve 111" 1lfiiilillmii Cutulldnto.l.l 13 I'lnrnl Ity TlilxTlirotru Out Klrrt florlirl. Frnnkfort, Ky., Doc. 4. At noon the Btnte board of election commissioners to decide whether Goobel or Taylor is entitled to the certificate of election as covernor, Thorn a nnt much nrnhn- ' blllty tlmt the matter will be sottled today, and It may uo tomorrow or later bofore a certificate Is Issued. IJoth sidea oxpresa themselves as con fident, but no one can predict with ac curacy the decision which will be ar rived at by the board. The certified re turns from the county boards, now on file with the secretary of state, glvo Taylor a plurality of 2,435, but tho Democrats declare that enough of those votes will bo thrown out and that Ooebel will be awarded the cer tificate. The Kentucky election law Is capable of diversions, and the definite conclusion of the board will rest very largely upon how Its members decide to construe certain portions of the statute. The Republicans assert that Inas much as, accordlnc to tho law, a cer tificate of election Is due to tho per son having the largest number of votes according to the certificates of the county boards. It will bo Impossible for the board to do otherwise than re turn a certificate In favor of Taylor, he having a majority of 2,435, accord ing to the certificate now on tile with the secretary of state. There la a loophole in the very sections upon which the Republicans rely, which may work against them. It Is this: "The stato board shall be a board for ex amining and canvassing the returns." How tho board will construe theword "examining" Is a matter of doubt. The same words exactly are used in defining tho powers of the various county boards, and under this wording they have claimed and used the power of rejecting votes which they believed were Illegally cast. If the county boards have this power over precinct returns why, the Democrats ask, has not the state board exactly similar powers over county returns In a pas sage of the law defining Its powers in Identical language. With the certificates of the commls sioners of Jerferson county giving Taylor a plurality of 3,442 votes was filed a mass of evidence that many of these votes were Illegal, and it li not among the impossibilities that the state board may so construe its powers under the word "examining" as to declare that it has the power to reject these votes. If It does Mr Ooebel eets the certificate. The main hone of Ooebel Is upon contesting Jef ferson, which means the city of Louis ville. Should tho Democrats succeed In having It thrown out It means the de feat of Taylor and of every other can didate upon the Republican ticket. The Democrats are contesting the Louisville voto chiefly because of Gov ernor Bradley's action In ordering the mllltla under arms and the alleged presence at tho polls of deputy United States marshals. They also base their contest on the fact that Inspectors for the Brown party forced their way into the polling booth and usurped the function of officers of election. Tha Republicans will claim bofore the ele tlon commissioners that the claims o! Intimidation'by the militia and Inter ference by the United States marshals are wholly Inadmissible, for the reason that the militia was held in the armony until fully three hours after the close of the polls and that they were at nt t'mo until long after the polls had closed present at or near a polling booth. As to the marshals. It Is asserted by the Republicans that not only weie they too few In number there beln but 14 In Kentucky all told to be capable of any Interference, but that they actually did not In any manner Interfere with the casting of any vote either in the city of Louisville or also where throughout the state. Thej visited the polls as private cltlzous only. To offset the claims of intrusion by the Inspectors for the Brown party the Republicans claim that If the claims of the Democrats are correct the fault lies with the Democratic of ficials who admitted them. They claim that the Democrats cannot allege then own negligence of duty as a reason foi throwing out Republican votos, It Is admitted by both sides that the Democrats have a stronger case io Jefferson county than anywhere throughout tho state. If they win there the other contests may be drop nod. and If they lose success In alL the other contests will not mako Ooebel governor of Kentucky. Next to the Jefferson county contest In Importance comes that In Knox county, which returned a plurality foi Taylor of 1.385. The contest there li based upon the allegations that the Republicans used tissue paper ballots, by which the secrecy of ballot wa3 de stroyed. In Johnson county, which returned a plurality for Taylor of 386, a similar claim Is made, also In Lewis county, which gave 850 more votes for Taylor than for Goebel. The Re publicans assert that similar ballots were used by the Democrats In the counties of Graves, Ballard and Uatli In which the aggregate plurality for Ooebel was far In excess of the total Taylor plurality In the counties ol Knox, Johnson and Lewis, Robbed the Grave A startllm? incident of which Mr, John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by Mm ns lullows : l was mnmoai dreadful condition.

The annual re port of tho secretary of the navy Is n document of unumiRl Interest, dealing not only with the work of the navy during the past year and Important recommendations for the future, but also dlncusslng the more Important questions relating to the navy, Includ ing tho authorization of 18 new war ships, the Imperative need of special legislation In the early days of con gress for armor of the bent quality tlmt can be obtained, and the proposi tion that the thiyiks of con grew be given to the commander-in-chief ot the North Atlantic squadron and to the of ficers and men under his command for tho part they took In the operations nt Santiago. On this subject the sec retary says: "While those engaged In the battle of Manila have been deservedly re wardedand no men ever deserved re ward more richly those who took part In the operations nt Santiago, Merlay- ing the same conspicuous conduct and extraordinary heroism, havo recolved no recognition whatever for their great services except me recommonda tlons for promotion by tho president, which hnvo elapsed, not having been acted upon by tho sonnte. "The department believes it due to these gallant men to suggest to you that the thanks of congress bo given to the commander-ln-chlof of the North Atlantic squadron and to the of ficers and men under such command. The North Atlantic squadron was charged with groat and exacting duties. It was a campaign of great scope and enormous responsibilities, and was brought to a successful and glorious consummation, which termi nated tho war by the destruction of the Spanish sea power. It was marked by unsurpassed precision, brilliancy and vigor."

IMIST.MASTUll (in.VIMtAI, SMITH I'oliitu Out the Way For SavlnH Twenty .Million" A 11 11 mill'. Washington, Dec. 4. The annual re port of Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith was made public last night. Its chief feature is a plea foi congressional action to stop tho abus of second class mall privileges, which he says results In an annual waste ol upwards of $20,000,000. The financial exhibit for the fiscal year shows total expenditures of $101,032,161 and total receipts of T95,021,3S1, tho deficiency being 12,422,747 less than last year. The postmaster general says In part: "There are many Improvements and ndvances waiting development and np' plication; opportunities for speedlet transmission and delivery; fields foi broadening the scope of the mall sor-. vice and bringing closer home to the people possibilities of reduced postage, but above and beneath and beyond all Is the redemption of the special con cession which congress granted for distinct and Justifiable object from the fungus growths and the flagrant evlla that have fastened upon It. "The postal deficit for the current year is $0,010,776, But for this wrong' ful application, ot the second class rate Instead of a deficit there would be a clear surplus ot many millions. It Is not now proposed to restrict the privileges of legitimate publications or to modify the design of the law, but only to bring back Its application to Its original and just scope. It Is believed that fully one-half of all the matter mailed as second class, and paid for at the pound rate, is not properly second class within the intent of the law. "If thero Is to be a favored class, lot It embrace all the people. With this class paying properly oven penny post age, with reasonable limitations, could be applied to letters without entailing a deficit larger than that of the last few years, and possibly with none nt all."
