Louisville, Ky, Feb. This city is
to be the seat. temporarily at least. Of
tire Democratic state government. To-
morrow the Democratic members Of
the legislature VIII meet here ard it is
purposed 10 make Louisville the head
quarters Of the executive and legisIa-
tive branches Of this state government
as long as the presence Of troops keeps
them from Frankfort, or until the
present conflict of authority in the state
is settled.
The details Of this plan We're decided
upon at the conferences held by lead
ing Democratic leaders at Seelbach' s
hotel during the afternoon and evening.
Newspaper men We're carefully eX-
clUded from these councils. and every
effort was made to keep the delibera-
tons secret The plan to have the
Democratic members of the legislature
meet here had already been well ma
tured- Preliminary steps in this direc-
ton Lad been taken at the meetings Of
these members held at the Capitol no.
tel at Frankfort since the state build
ings have been surrounded by soldiers.
The Democratic legislators there
adopted a concurrent resolution for ad-
jOurnment to Louisville, and this fact
was made known early in tOday's con-
ference.
Threats Were Made.
1t was stated by members OF the
legislature present that threats had
been made at Frankfort by persons
connected with Governor TaylOr's ad-
ministratiOn that Democratic members
Of the legislature would be arrested if
that step was necessary to secure their
attendance upon the session Of the leg
islature called by the Republican gov
ernOr to meet at London next Tuesday.
These members asserted that they had
been warned not to T6tUrn TO Frankfort.
Enough Of the Democratic members Of
each house viii be here tomorrow, it
is asserted by the Democratic man
ayers, to torm a quorum. No legisla-
ton VIII be attempted, but adjourn
ment from day to day viii be held
pending a settlement of the legal Ques-
I tons involved in the present dispute
between the parties.
1t is thought that the main reliance
of the Democrats, at least for the pres
ent, viii be placed in the police force
of the city and the constabulary of
the county.
The mayor and city officers and the
sheriff of the county are Democrats
and viii undoubtedly recognize Beck
ham as governor The number Of men
| at their command is considerable.
Taylor Might Interfere.
Fear was expressed by some of the
| Democratic leaders that Governor Tay-
Tor might seek to interfere with the
| session of the state board of elections
commissioners, which has been set for
| next Tuesday at Frankfort. This board.
which has before it the contests for
| minor state officers, would in the event
of interference probably adjourn to
! meet in Louisville. If the decision of
/ the board should be IN favor of the
Democratic contestants, its action
would have an important bearing in
the conflict between the rival COVER
nOrS.
Standardized Blackburn did not take
| part in tOd8y's conferences in this city.
| having remained in Frankfort to look
out of his paTty's interests there.
Several Republican leaders were in
town today. but held no conferences so
| far IS known.
