FRANKFORT, Ky, Feb Ex-Governor
Taylor. it was believed, may sign the
Louisville agreement today. He he'd q
Tong conference last night with General
Lindsey and Judge Yost.
The reneal Of the Goebel law 10 the
enc thiltE strongly desired by Governor
Taylor, and as the language Of the Lou
isville agreement is considered by him
altogether too vague as regards the mat
ter, it is considered that changes may be
made in the way OF making the clause
more specific before Governor Taylor
afiixes his signature 70 tile ayr. ement,
This, OF course, would involve further
delay, as it would necessitate further
conference between the Republican aud
Democratic leaders who are instru-
mental II drawing up the agreement at
Louisville. Action OF this kind indeed,
was indicated by prominent Republic
can today, although nothing either III
confirmation or denial could be procured
at the executive offices.
Another cause for Governor Taylor's
delay i'll regard to the agreement is sala
to be- the cry OF victory and s.sar-
agreement as presented to Governor
Taylor is understood to be somewhat
different from the published abstracts,
III that the clause regarding the elee-
ton law and one or two other matters
is pIore specific than 1t Is understood to
be, though still not strong enough 60
suit hiIu. For this reason the rank and
file of the Republican party in the
state apparently believe there is some
foundation for the claims set up by the
Democrats, and scores OF kilograms
have poured III on Governor Taylor i'll
the past few days, urging him not TO
sign the agreement, but to maintain
his present position and await further
developments.
LONDON, Ky, FEB. 6.--A telegram
was received by representatives last
night from Governor Taylor, saying:
mo compromise has been signed.
This set at rest all doubt chat had
been entertained during the day. Sew
eral members said they had not yet seen
the telegram that was sent to Governor
Taylor from here, requesting him TO
stand firm III his attitude and not to
compromise. Some of them expressed
satisfaction with the telegram aud 9TH
ers saIa nothing.
Representative Robinson, of Hopkins
couhty, 4seltt -. night:
II am opposed to compromises. aud.
III support OF my opposition, | Will offer
III the hOnse tomorrow resolution
that we have confidence i'll Governor
". 5. laylof and in his every action, 80
far, III regard to the present contest, and
we pledge 10 him, in his trying honr,
our united, earnest, loyal and enthusl-
YAt.t nd III
firm. letting the ringing appeal to GO
forward TO all Kentuckians that we Will
never compromise with dishonor, nor
will we yield an iota IN the battle for
civil liberty and the rights of the peo-
pie, as expressed at the polls on Tues
day, Nov. Z, 1885,
Il have shown this resolution to q
number Of the members. " said Mr.. Rob-
lnson, land 1t meets with their hearty
approval. "
Senator Jolly, who was elected prcsi-
dent pro tenn. of the Taylor senate, at
London, sent the following telegram to
Governor Taylor:
!" we do not want any agreement with
the other side We are in the right.
and have nothing to agree on. The
members of both houses are unani-
mously against the agreement.
The legislators seem inclined to bolt
any agreement Taylor may sign with
the other side. This will probably
cause split III the Republican ranks i'll
case Taylor signs. Jolly's telegram
puts an altogether new phase to the
situation. and is an expression which
none need question. The bold 'front.' of
the legislators probably indicates, how
ever, hat a solution is nearer than
many may imagine. Bnt before the So
luton is reached there will be numer-
GUS transformation scenes.
