The scenes nt the capital shifted today. Interest In tbo contest ended with the delivery of the certificates of election today nnd tonight the arrangements for Taylor's Inauguration Tuesday overshadow everything clue. Oocbel left for his homo nt Covlngton nt 4 o'clock nnd nearly nil of the demo- cratn left on tonight's trains. Gocbel was occompanled to the train by Senator Black burn and others. Ho Hinted a few mlnutca before his train pulled out that the qucs- tlon whether ho and his associates on the defeated ticket would contest Is still un- decided. The Oocbel headquarters here nro crowded tonight. Klectlcm Commissioners I'llla nnd Pryor went away this afternoon nnd on the snmo train went many of the democratic loaders. The fact that Pryor nnd Kills did not mix with the throng Indicates to some extent the feeling growing out of last night's mcmornblo contest. The locnl people nre arranging to make Taylor's Inauguration n nonpnrtlsan affair. A committed on re ception wns made up composed of about fifty prominent mtti of the state capital , re publicans and democrats nllko being repre sented on It. Sinn TIIJ liir'w Ortlllonti' . At 9:15 : this morning the elec tion certificate of William S. Taylor - lor was signed by the oloctlon com- 1 jjilfislonora and ho wns declared to bo gov ernor-elect of Kentucky. The olllclal figures of the vote tiled with Secretary of State Klnley arc : Tnylor , 193,711 ; Goebel , 181,331 ; Tnylor'n plurality , 2.3S3. The operation which ended for the tlmo being nt least , the blttoily fought guberna torial contest , wns conducted In the simplest manner. The majority opinion of Commls- Hloncis Pryor nnd Kills nnd the minority opinion nf Commissioner Poyntz , which wcro published this morning , were not read , as was the original intention. The thrco commis sioners walked first to the ofllco of the clerk of the Htato supreme court , wlicro they filed two opinions. They then passed Into the office of the secretary of state. Clerk Cho- nault of the board of commissioners read the figures showing that the republican candi date for ofllco on the state ticket had re ceived the largest number of votes und tlion certificates of election wore signed nt once , , that of Mr. Taylor being first on thci list. There wcro only fourteen people In the room nt the time and of this number only two wore there as spectators. There was no crowd around the building nnd no Interest wns manifested In the work save by thot > o engaged In It and those who stood looking on. The three commissioners were all np- parently In a good humor , although Commis sioners Kills and Pryor , who had done the most work In preparing their long nnd elab orate opinion , looked worn and tired. The certificates as soon ns signed were filed with the secretary of state and com missions will be Issued to the elected men at once by Governor Bradley. Late last lilght , when the decision had gene forth to the public , Commissioner Ellis , upon whose shoulders the greatest part of the work of the preparing of the opinion has fallen , dis cussed the matter freely , j "Thls > has been a hard task for me , " ho said , bis eyes Inflamed by loss of sleep , nnd the heavy lines In his face bearing eloquent witness to the truth of his statement. "It has been a hard thins for all of us. I wish , however , that all of the people of the country should know how nobly Judge Pryor has actedln | this matter nnd how conscientiously ' tiously he has done what he co'nsldered hla duty. He Is n great man , one of the great est , In my opinion , that Kentucky has ever produced , and I nm sure his conduct In this case has been another piece of his long and honorable career ns n public officer. "Speaking for myself , " continued Mr. Ki lls , "I say frankly I did not llko to do this thing , but under the law and the evidence there Is nothing clso I can do nnd bo an lionest man.

It would glvo mo greater pleasure than I can express to bo able to declare for the democrato In this thing , but I cnn't do It. The proceedings before the board were so overwhelmingly In favor of the republicans nnd they had o much the better of the arguments that it Is almost Idle to discuss the affair. There was , to the minds of Judge Pryor nnd myself , only ono thing to do and that wo have done. " The statements made by Kills have been upheld by his conduct from first to last throughout the canvass. Ho did all of the questioning of the attorneys and seemed nt every stage to bo most anxious to obtain the truth and bo Impartial to both sides.

The court held that nil ballots should Ic printed on white paper , sufficiently thick that the printing cannot be distinguished , from the back , and If ballots-are used at an election which do not substantially comply ! with the low the election Is not conductor ! as required by law and Is Invalid. The opinion of the court comes too late to affect the decision of the state election com mission , but sets n precedent for the stale i conical board.

Hitchcock's candidacy for' United States ecnator did not quite carry before the populist county cen tral committee last night. About twenty populists were In attendance at the rooms of the 1'eter Cooper club when M. J. O'Con nell sprung a verbal motion for the en dorscmcnt of Hitchcock. A. W. Tidd movct that the name of W. V. Allen bo substituted nnd later V. K. Wilson submitted the fol lowing , which was ultimately adopted after nearly ihreo hours had been spent In pas slonala discussion behind closed doors. "Hon. W. A. Poynler , Governor of Ne braska , Lincoln , Neb. Dear Sir : The duty 'of appointing a successor to the late Sen- a'lor M. L.

"Ho tjan resume the work so ably and ef fectively conducted by him during the six years ending with the last session of con gress , as though no Intermission had oc curred In his term of olllcc. "Tho magnificent record achieved by him vhllo in the senate , resulting In great good not only to this state , but to the nation as well , cnlllles him as a matter of popular approval to n return to that body. If the election of United States senators had been by popular vote , ns Is now well- nigh universally desired , ho would have been elected nt the election of 1S98 by a handsome majority and therefore ho has a moral right to the office for which ho was defeated by the formalities of procedure "His acknowledged position as chief leader of the populist party In the nation and the Inllucncu for good that he exercised upon the reform forces In general by reason of such distinction entitle him to the olllcc , that such Influence bo not knpalrcd , perhaps destroyed. " A committee comprising V. E. Wilson , E I1. Morearty , J. M. Klnney and George Ilaworth wns appointed to communlcato the wishes of tbo committee to the governor. On the vote substituting Allen's name for that of Hitchcock only twelve out of the twenty members present voted and the vote stood seven to five. The auditing committed reported on the finances during the recent campaign nnd the report wa-5 approved. It showed that the secretary and treasurer had been charging $15 each per week for their services during the campaign and that Chair-man Klnney had exacted | 25 for his services. It de veloped that there Is $11 of tra money still coming to the secretary and $21 to the treas urer , with money In sight to pay both. The chairman and treasurer had never before been allowed pay.

At the meeting of the board of fire and police commissioners on Monday E , M. Mc- Klnnoy will appear before It as attorney for the Associated Charities and file n pro test against the granting of n saloon license next year to any applicant who docs not put up a bond that Is absolutely glltcdgcd. The Associated Charities claim that a largo part of the demands for aid from them como from the families of men who squan der their earnings In drink In the brothels of the city , and that many of the saloons lire run by men who are not only not In any way responsible themselves , but who have furnished bonds upon which not a cent could bo collected In case judgment for damages should bo obtained against them. It Is believed that If the board exorcised greater care In the exaction of a sufilclent bond from each applicant there would bo fewer brothels nnd a better class of saloons would result , from which the charity dis penser would have llttlo to fear. It will be contended before the Fire and Police commission , that the demands upon the Associated Charities are greater than Its resources and that the weeding out of the brothels would materially reduce the necessity for tbo dispensation of charity.

MADISON , WIs. , Dec. 0. The weslorn foot ball championship goes to Chicago. Be fore nt least 12,000 persons the eleven of the University of Chicago today defeated the University of Wisconsin team by a score of 17 to 0 In n game that for desperate playIng - Ing nnd scientific foot ball has probably never been equaled on n western gridiron. No flukes marred the victory of the sturdy Chicago players nnd tonight for the first tlmo In years the Maroons can lay claim to an undisputed title to the championship. It was a game between a team which In offensive playing was perfect , with weather nnd wind In Us favor , an eleven whoso dense play up to today had been compact enough to protect their goal line from all opposing elevens except Yale. Hut Chicago's mass plays were Irresistible and Uiough the liadgers fought until they could fight no more , through the first half and once In the second half the Maroon backs plunged through Wisconsin's line until the ball was carried over the goal line. Only once did Wisconsin have a chance to score and that one chance they were unable to nvall themselves of , as with the ball on their own fifteen-yard line the Chicago forwards braced so effectively that on four downs the ball was only shoved forward three yards. In this respect the Chicago players surprised their supporters. Their defensive play was far stronger than ex pected nnd oven when Wisconsin had the ball , which wns seldom , O'Dea was compelled polled to kick In most Instances. Throughout the whole game the liadgers were on the defensive most of the time , will the ball well Into their territory. Chicago quickly located the weak spots In the Dad gers' defense. They wcro mostly on the left side of the line , and In the first hal Slaker , Pell , Hamlll and Henry , behind In tcrfercnce that was apparently unbreakable tore through the tackle and guard for posi tions of gain that Invariably netted the distance. Stnr of WlHuoiiNln'M Tcniu. On the right side , however , "more diffi culty was experienced ; Curtlss the Wiscon sin right tackle , played a whirlwind game and ho tore through Fell tlmo nnd time again In tlmo to spoil the piny. Ho was taslij the star of the Wisconsin eleven. The whirlIng - Ing mass on tackle , the most effective play of Chicago's , was often directed against him but it neve.- netted more than three yards and frequently Curtlss stopped play before It was fairly started. At the other side of the line It came easier Flannlgau , Webb and Eldredgo held their men safe and when Slaker or Pell were seni against the line the ball generally fount a rc&tlng plrco several yards In advance of whcro It started. In the eecond half Comstack , exhausted and limping , retired In favor of Lerum nnd little Trntt also went out , Wllmarth taking his place. But It made llttlo difference The game had already been won nnd al though Lerutn made big Flannlgan's life a burden to him for the balance of the game the rest of the team was too exhausted to make effective headway. During the latter part of the second half Chicago played to keep Wisconsin from scor ing and cnce Kennedy adopted the tactics ol Captain McDrldo of Yale and dropped back twenty yards to hold the ball. Chicago's Interference was far superior to Wisconsin's and to this Yact more than any other must bo ascribed the victory. Once 'ho ball was put In play every man cr\ the team was pushing , pulling or helping the runner to keep hlK feet until the whistle was blown for a down. Ilnlii I'oil Dnrliiur ( innir. Even when tackled , the Chicago backs and tackles. Fell and Webb , being frequently used , struggled forward until crushed down by a mass of players. Wisconsin's Interfer ence on the other hand was moro easily broken up and at no stage of the game was the ball advanced more than ten yards. Two hours before the game a cold drizzling rain began to fall and throughout the game showers fell frequently. The rain did not bavo much effect on the field , but It was sufficiently heavy to render the ball wet and slippery and fumbles by both Bides were frequent. When the referee's whlstlo was blown for the end of the game nearly a thotiauid chcrr- Ing rooters broke out on the gridiron , holstoj the tired but happy champions to their shouldera and headed by a band marched out of the grounds and far up tbo street before they allowed their burdens to climb Into the waiting carriages.

PLAY ON THE GOLF LINKS Many l'ln > er Appi-iir on the nnd lli-KlniHTH An * ( illllll I'rORffMH , The bad weather on Thanksgiving day and the following Saturday prevented the meni- jera of the Kountzo Place Golf club from daylng , but during last week a number of he members have taken advantage of the ) cautlful days und have Indulged In qul o n little practice. The beginners have already acquired the regulation swing of the driver and nre show- ng marked progress , while some of the old- Imo golfers are fast resuming their old 'arm. The new players should not bo discouraged f they cannot drive the ball 200 yanU at Irst trial , remembering alwajo that patience and perseverance ovcrcometh many dllllcul- tes. To a novice It Is not so much tho' i eugth of a drive as the manner and style I if the stroke and the precision with which ' ho ball U struck that should bo desired ho length will come In due time. Three Im- Kirtant Injunctions arc to bo rcmembereJ : ( eep your eye ou the ball , slow back and lon't press. Much has been written as to how to be- ome proficient at the game and much can )0 read by those desiring to become experts , i , luch moro can bo accomplished , however , I > y careful coaching of the beginner by one ' who knows the game and has been "through the mill. " Different players may have dif ferent mannerisms , but all good p'ayers have as a foundation the same unalterable prlnlcplcB from which expert golfers spring. Mannerisms and all complex handling of the clubs should he avoided and a style adopted that Is simple , cony and graceful , and good results are bound to accrue In time. In Imparting advice to beginners an old local player says : "Never make an excuse for a bad stroke It wan of your own mak ing but try the next one as If nothing had happened to disturb your equilibrium or spoil your ucoro.

A player , however , will try to avoid them by Judicious placing of the ball. "The use of the different clubs for the va rious 'lays' of the ball on the course Is a very Important matter and often a success ful stroke in a dlfllcult position Is only pos sible by using the proper club. This dis crimination Is only made possible by proper coaching and practice. Many a game has been lost by poor judgment In the selection of clubs , for both-easy and hard strokes. " The Kountzo Place Junior Golf club was organized last week with twenty young as pirants for golfing honors. Wlllard IJutler was elected captain and Ethel Lawrie secre tary and treasurer. The young folks have already got to work on the links and quite a number give excellent promise for the fu ture. The captain has taken naturally to the game and drives the ball with a style and precision 'that Is remarkable in one so young. The youngsters bid fair to set the pace for some of the older players and will soon give them a run for their money.
