LOUISVILLE. Jan. 1.-THE republi-

Governor Taylor, Ex-Governor Brad
ley, Lieutenant Governor Marshall and
United States Senator Deboe held "a
conference last night to consider the
legal phase bearing upon the guberna-
torial contest. It was agreed that the
republican officers were backed by the
law and that the efforts of the demo-
Gratis to wrest them from them should
be resisted to the bitter end.
It was decided that should Goebel at
tempt to take his seat the entire mill
tia would be called out If necessary.
This means that the fight will be taken
to Washington, as both Blackburn and
Bradley will go there with credentials
showing that they are United States
senators from Kentucky, Bradley bear

SILVER AND GOLD
A Clash Expected Today Between
Indiana Democrats.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 1.-THE
city is thronged with democratic po-
liticiaps from all parts of the state who
are here for the purpose Of watching
the proceedings of the district com
mitteemen, elected last week, and
who went into session this morning to
organize the state committee.
Interest cente.s almost entirely in
the selection of the chairman OF the
committee, and the feeling among the
party leaders has been intensified by
the expectation of a clash between the
silver and gold factions.
Mayor Taggart, of this city, re-elect-
ed chairman of district seven, after a
spirited contest with the silver men,
is expected to make fight for the
state chairmanship, or else to throw
his support to James Murdock, a re-
cognizsd gold man.
The silver element, on the other
hand, expresses confidence in their
ability to bring about the re-election
of Parks Martin, the present chair
