Senator Goebel's friends about
the hotels yesterday were expressing
their gratification at the magnificent
majority his home congressional
district gave him 6,000
as a refutation of the wholesale
slander heap2d upon, him in the
foulest state election ever held in
Kentucky, and in which his ene
mies also shoved in $250,000 to
defeat him.
''The Republicans are shouting
fraud frantically." said these Kentucky
Democrats, "but where is
it?" In the First Congressional
District, where the normal Democratic
vote is from 1 2,000 to 14,000,
Goebel gets less than 8,000. In
the Second, Third and Fourth
Districts, all represented by
Congressmen, whose aggregate
majorities were 10,000,
only gets a majority of 400 in
the three districts. The Fifth District,
that elected a Democratic
Congressman by 600, is conceded
to Taylor by nearly 3,000. In the
Eighth, without any especial enthusiasm,
a Democratic Congressman
was elected a year ago by
nearly 900. Goebel only gets 48
majority. In Mercer county, of
that district (Wat Hardin's home),
almost invariably Democratic by a
good majority, and where the Republicans
claimed Jack Chinn had
election officers appointed to do his
bidding, goes Republican by 250,
ind Col. Chinn's son, twice elected
the Legislature, is defeated.
