Kentucky Crisis as Goebel Vote Sparks Martial Law Talk
Report from Frankfort on November 29 describes Republican whispers that if Goebel gains a certificate by overturning Jefferson Knox and Johnson counties, leaders including Deboe Lindsay Bradley and Taylor might seek President McKinley to declare martial law to uphold Taylor's administration. Deboe denied imminent federal aid but signaled it could be available if needed. No real change in the stalemate and Goebel supporters may pursue court action while the state election board’s canvass extends, Democratic commissioners threatening to withhold results if a military guard is placed.
