TAYLOR'S OBJECTION.

MAY SIGN HIS NAME TODAY.
attorneys Had n Long Conference with
Him Last SiGht--some Legislators, at
London, Opposed to uis Accepting
the Agreement.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. S.-Governor
Taylor, it was believed, may sign tho
Louisville agreement today. He had a
long conference last night with General
Lindsey and Judge Yost.
The repeal Of the Goebel law is tho
one thing strongly desired by Governor
Taylor. and, as the language Of the Lou.
tsville 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 tho clause
more specific before Governor Taylor
affixes his signature to the agreement.
This, of course, would involve further
delay, as it would necessitate q further
conference between the Republican and
Democratic leaders who are ipstru-
mental in drawing up the agreement at
Louisville. Action of this kind, indeed,
was indicated by prominent Republi-
can today, although nothing either in
confirmation or denial could be procured
at the executive offices.
Another cause for Governor Taylor's
delay in regard to the agreement is said
to be the cry of victory" and "sur-
render" sent up by the Democrats. Tho
Taylor is understood TO be somewhat
different from the published abstracts,
in that the clause regarding the elec-
tion law aud one or two other matters
is more specific than it is understood to
be, though still not strong enough to
suit him. For this reason the rank and
file OF the Repuoilt:an party in the
state apparently relieve there is some
foundation for Il claims set up by the
Democrats, and scores OF kilograms
have poured i'll on Governor Taylor in
the past few days, urging him not to
sign the agreement, but to maintain
his present position and await further
developments.
LONDON, KY, Feb. s.-A telegram
was received by representatives last
night from Governor Taylor, saying;
mo compromise has been signed"
This set at rest all doubt that 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 in his attitude and not to
compromise. Some of them expressed
satisfaction with the telegram and 9TH
ers said nothing.
Representative Robinson, of Hopkins
county, said last night:
IL am opposed to compromise, aud,
in support OF my opposition, will offer
IN the honse tomorrow u resolution
that we have confidence in Governor
". s. Taylor aud in his every action, so
far, in regard to the present contest, and
we pledge to him, In his trying hour,
our united, earnest, loyal and enthusi-
astic support and urge him to stand
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

inson, land it meets with their hearty
approval"
Senator Jolly, who was elected prcsi.
dent pro tenn. of the Taylor senate, ut
London, sent the following telegram to
Governor Taylor:
I'VE 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 incliued to bolt
any agreement Taylor may sign with
the other side. This will probably
cause split in the Republican ranks in
case Taylor signs. Jolly's telegram
puts an altogether new phase to the
situation, aud is an expression which
none need question. The bold 'front.' OF
the Legislators probably indicates, how,
ever, shat u solution is nearer than
many may imagine. Bnt before the so
