THE BRIEF OF BEcKHAM.
The Governor of Kentucky Answers
W. =. TayIor's Complaint

Through his counsel. Lawrence Maxwell
ir. of Cincinnati, and w. s. Pryor and
Lewis McQuown, of Kentucky, Governor
J. c. W Beckham, of Kentucky yes
terday filed brief in the Supreme Court
of the United States, in answer TO the
complaint of ". S. Taylor appellant. from
the Court of Appeals of the State of Ken
lucky. The case is the contest
for the GoyernOrship of Kentucky. in
which Governor william Gcebel lost is
life, and which has cost that State much
money and trouble.
The brief filed yesterday states that
the gist of Taylors claim is that he has
been deprived of the Office of Governor
without due process of law. In answer The
brief says that the highest court OF Ken
lucky has held that Taylor never acquired
title to that office under the method pre-
scribed by the constitution and laws of
Kentucky. The decision of the State court
involved no Federal question. and there
fore the Supreme Court Of the United
States is without jurisdiction. 1t contin
ues the argument by claiming that Taylcr
must first show title TO the office Fer
more than a hundred years the Kentucky
Constitution has provided that the results
of the elections OF the Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor shall be ascertained ard
finally settled and declared by the Legisla
ture.
The State Constitution OF 1879 provides
that contested elections shall be deter
mined by a committee from both houses
Of the General Assembly. When . sne
cific mode for the determination of a con
tested election is provided by the State
laws. that mode is exclusive: the decision
by the Legislature was final and no; sub-
ject to judicial revision or annulment.
Governor Beckhams title is founded on
the declaration of the Legislature. while
Taylor's claim is based on certificate
issued to him by the State Board Of Can
vassers. finally superseded and annulled
by legislative action.
The trial court, moreover. in its decis-
ion stated certain conclusions of fact cited
in the brief. These findings are not open
TO review Taylor's whole complaint. SAYS
the brief, is that the State court refused
to admit certain parole testimony % show
that legislative action in the matter had
been tainted by fraud, No Federal aues-
tion it alleges, is invoked in this DO
litical office. created by the State. is rot

ment: under a recent decision in the Ken

A REpRIMAND EXPECTED.
Probable Disposition of the Chad
kwick-SchIey Matter.

kvick-SchIey Matter.
1t is generally believed in naval circles
that the case of Capt. French E. Chadwick,
of the Navy, who was called CT to explain
whether he bad been correctly quoted in a
newspaper Interview in which he criticised
Rear Admiral Schley. will be disposed of by
administering a reprimand to Captain
Chadwick. Secretary Long returned from
Boston yesterday and about noon had half
an hours talk with Captain Chadwick
whose written answer to the Navy De
partment's enquiry had been laid before
the Secretary.
Later in The day Mr.. Long had an
interview with the President about the
Chadwick case. and on leaving the Navy
Department last evening he said that he
had not determined what course to pursue.
From the fact that the Department officials
liken the case to that of Captain Coghlan
of the Raleigh, who was reprimanded fer
recting 'Hoch der Kaiser at banquet
and certain remarks of these officials.
nearly everybody connected with the De-
partment appears to be confident that
Captain Chadwick will receive a written
reprimand from the Secretary of the Navy
which Will not. however, be made public
The letter of reprimand sent to Captain
Coghlan was withheld from the press and
was not sead officially on board naval ships
and at naval stations.
Captain Chadwick will say nothing for
publication about his case He feels very
much Inundated over the notoriety into
which he has been brought by the incl
dent. 1t is realized by officials. however.
that the publication OF Captain Chadwicks
comments on Admiral Schley constituted
violation by him of a naval regulation and
the Department must take cognizance of
the matter in the interest of discipline.
captain Chadwick in his official response
to the Navy Department. enquiry, does
not deny responsibility for the interview
but he says that his remarks were made
privately and were not intended for pub
iication. similar statement was made
by Captain Coghlan when called to account
for reciting '|Hoch der Kaiser" but in
view of the precedent established in the
Coghian case of reprimanding that officer,
the Department, even were it inclined to
let .he incident drop with Captain Chad
wick's statement, which is said TO he
straightforward and manly, will hardly
dispose of the matter without administer
ing some sort of a rebuke.
