DECIDED FOR BECKHAM
He Is Governor, According to
Kentucky High Court.
ONLY ONE REPUBLICAN DIssENTS.
The other Two Judges of Taylor's Party
Concur In the FInai Conclusion Repub-
licans VIII Appeal to the United States
Supreme Court.

FRANKFoRT, KY, April 1.-THE court
of appeals handed down a decision in
the governorship case in favor Of the
Democrats The opinion is by six Of
the judges-four Democrats and two
Republicans One Republican, Durelle,
dissented
The Republican judges, Burnam and
Guffy, give separate opinion from the
Democratic judges, but which agreed
with the Democratic members in its
conclusion.
Judge Hobson wrote the OF mon Of
the court. The concurrence Of Judges
Burnam and Guffy with the four Demo
cratic Judges was a surprise generally,
but to the Republicans especially, and
there is much speculation now as to
whesher the talked-of appeal to the
United States supreme court will be
prosecuted.
The opinion holds that the action of
the legislature in seating Governor
Beckham was final, and that the courts
have no power to reverse it; that Gov
ernor Taylor exceeded his authority in
adjourning the legislature to London,
and that the Journals of the two houses
of the Legislature being regular, cannot
be impeached.
Elk. Governor w. O. Bradley, chief
counsel for Governor Taylor. authorized
the statement that an appeal on behalf
of Governor Taylor and Lieuteant Gov
ernor Marshall be carried to the supreme
court of the United States. Mr. Brad
ley and Judge w. H. Yost, counsel for
the Republican state officers, were in
communication with Governor Taylor
for several hours this afternoon and the
above statement was made at the close
of the conference 1t is stated that
Colonel w G. P. Breckenridge and Re.
publican leaders from different parts of
the state will meet Governor Taylor in
conference here today.

AGAIN,TM A DEMOCAT!
Dewey Wanted" to Vote For
Cleveland.
NEVER HAS CAST A BALLOT.
Admiral Declared He Would Soon Issue
a statement-said to Have Conferred
With Certain Men, While In Phiiadel-
phia-Silen. az to Plans.

WASHINGTON, April Admiral and
Mrs Dewey, on their return here, ex-
pressed themselves as greatly pleased
with their reception A number Of re-
porters were at the house awaiting his
return. In response to a question, the
admiral said that he expected III a few
days to have ready for the press the
statement as to his plans for the future,
which he indicated his intention to
make.
"Can you confirm the stater2 ent you
are credited with making that yo i are q
Denocrat?" persisted one of the report
ers.
Certainly am a Democrat he re-
Ilied. II always have been Demo-
crat," he added smilingly.
"Have you ever voted the Democratic
ticket p
mo, / never voted i'll my life. The
only man / ever wanted to vote for was
Mr.. Cleveland I"
1T is said that Mr.. Cleveland wants
you to run ON Il straight gold Democratic
platform. "
Good night, answered the admiral,
without answering the question, and re-
firing.

house at Beauvoir, which they have

PHILADELPHIA, April TIT was CLEAN
ed from what is considered reliable
source that Admiral Dewey had two
hours conference, while here, with
three men who came from New York.
Who these men are cannot be learned.
The informant, in response to questions,
said the admiral's conferrees were
neither Grover Cleveland, w G. Whit
ney nor David B. Hill. The men, it
was further stated, Immediately re-
| turned to New York. As to the nature
of the conference nothing could be
learned, but it was believed to have a
close relation to Admiral Dewey's can
didacy for the presidency.
While on the way from the hotel to
join Mrs. Dewey on the train, re-
porter asked Mr. Dewey whether he had
any visitors besides Captain Brownson,
and the admiral replied;
Il left orders at the hotel office that |
would see no one.
.But did you see any one?o
1.-THE orders / gave were explicit.
This was the only answer the admiral
would give.
1T has been stated that if Mckinley

way the people of this country have re-
ceived your announcement?

DIR. Raymond's Resignation.

A happy solution of the Uniyersi.
ty muddle has appeared. DR. Ray
mond has finally rendered his resig,
nation and it is now in the hands Of
the Board of Regents. Thes have
postponed action until June when
they will accept it.
The Doctor has failed in bis at
tempt to run the University re
CARELESS of everybody on earth bnt
himself and in reckless defiance of
the wishes Of the people oil the ctate.
He has no one to blame for his
downfall bur himself. He came here
with the good wishes of everyone
and the intention on the part of ev-
eryone to uphold him in every par
ticular.
They did this long after he had
outraged every sense of tile proprie.
ties. after he had driven from him
the respect and esteem of right
thinking people. Now he finds him
self without friend in the student
body, among the faculty, alumni or
towns people.
This condition of affairs has grown
to such proportions that his useful
ness has departed and the board will
accept his resignation ON that ac-
count. It comes about on account
of course of conduct that has been
pointed out to the Doctor as fatal by
this paper months ago
We told him then that the course
that he was pursuing had but one
end aud that was his downfall. He
was admonished to leave off his fool
ishness before it was too late. He
failed to heed the warning and he
came to grief
He leaves the university without
an expression ofregret from anyone
connected with it, 1t is to be hoped
that his experience here will teach
him the much needed lesson that
there are other people whose opin
ions are entitled to consideration and
that he is not the sole possessor OF
all the wisdom in the world. When
he shall have disnoanted from his
high horse and succeeded in getting
his ain ormaily swelled head reduced
toits proper size he will probably find
that there is place for him in the
country and that he can fill il ac-
ceptably. That place however is
not in West Virginia whose people
he looks down upon and whose state
he despises.
We can say farewell to him with
the best grace in the world. The
good opinion held by him Of the
state is reciprocated in no small
measure.

THE FREE DELIVERY
Starts and in aFew Days Will Be in Smooth
Working Order.

The free delivery Of mail in his city
started, Monday, under the most
suspicious circumstances and, in a day
or so. will be running along smoothly.
Owing to its being the first day. there
was a considerable amount of matter
to be taken out of the office and this
caused the carriers to be longer in de-
livering it. The routes were also all
new 70 them and these two CirCum-
stances caused considerable delay.
just what times the deliveries ana
collections will be made has not been
definitely settled, as it will take a few
days to find the exact time It will take.
There will be one delivery. the first
thing in the morning after the arrival
of the morning train, and another af-
ter the arrival Of the afternoon express.
At these times. there will also be a fun
collection made. The partial deliveries
and collections will be made. if it is
possible for the carriers to cover the
ground in the time allotted to them.
There will certainly be four collections
of the mail on Water street.
To allow of the delivery, some
changes have been necessary in the ar
rangement of the office. The inner Of
flee has been moved out about 10 feet,
this giving more room to work inside
The stamp window and box delivery
windows have been moved to the for
ward end of the office. the general de-
livery window being in the centre one
whole set of call boxes have been re-
moved. giving one section of large lock
boxes on the left on entering. one of
small lock boxes on the right and the
call boxes in front.
All those who have had lock boxes
and have not returned the keys are
asked to do so at once to allow of the
settling up of the matter. Those who
have mail delivered at their places are
asked to be lenient with the carriers
until everything is in smooth working
order.
