tionaI Case Decision Soon Expected.

governors Of Kentucky We're entertain
ed in this city, today. Messrs. Taylor

pose to hold on to their positions I'M
til the United States supreme court has
passed upon the question Of their right
to hold them. They DO not intend to
surrender the state buildings and rec
ords after q decision by the state court

against them.

Democratic officers may try to exercise
their functions in arrest in case they
are upheld by the court of appeals.

resort in their cases, and it is believed
the Republicans wish TO know the feel

party toward their policy.

Field is expected to dispose of it. this
week. when it will be taken TO the
