Kentucky elects William S. Taylor governor official
The Kentucky election board certified William S. Taylor as governor elect after a tight gubernatorial contest with Goebel. The board issued certificates of election for Taylor and Gowbel, while Pryor, Ellis, and Poyntz issued minority and majority opinions but did not read them. The decision came amid low crowds and mixed feelings among officials and bettors over possible legislative ouster.

In Frankfort Kentucky on December 9 the Goebel faction abandons any pretense of contesting the governor’s certificate. The outcome hinges on Commissioners Ellis and Pryor’s forthcoming opinion. If fraud is implied and the canvassing board may review certified returns a contest is likely. Democratic minor office candidates plan to press fights before the state contesting board.
