has been Issued by Judge Cantrfl re-
straining Taylor from getting as Governor,
but peace officers cabnot serve it as the
militia bars the way. This is part Of
the programme OF the Democrats.
The next move Will be to swear in a
number of deputy sherins who viii at
tempt to serve the papers on Taylor, if
the militia is not in the way.
Colonel Williams has issued orders per-
mitting nobody to enter the inner guard
until further notice. This is supposed to
have been to prevent service Of the notice
on Taylor and Collier.
FRANKFORT, Ky, Feb 2.-The Demo
Gratis at noon brought out the expected IN
functions against Taylor TO restrain him
and his Adjutant General from interfering
with the sessions OF the Legislature. The
suit was brought in the local court and the
petition is signed by seventy-one members-
The case will row be fought out in tho
courts. all CoiI5- ences having failed to
agree. The jua;e before whom the case
was brought is a Democrat. and Taylor
has previously stated that he viii no,
obey such injunctions. He says ne viii
not permit the Assembly to meet until Il
convenes ct London February o.
The legal moves have not yet been COM
pieJed, and il Is given ont that the writ
Of mandamus has not yet been served on
Taylor. Each step is anxiously watched
10y the other side. Hays. who was par
doned by Taylor. remains in prison. the
Commissioners refusing 10 recognize Tay-
lor's authority as Governor.
Il was rumored that TAYLOR would at
tempt to enforce his orders for Hays re-
lease by troops, but no such attempt has
yet been made. The business in the state
Department is completely suspended and
! the Office is used for barracks for soldiers.
Warrants Charging USurpation.

usurper. II policemen cannot make The
arrest, it is their purpose TO have a large

this morning told a Democrat who voted
for Goebel Wednesday night but who had
previously voted with the Republicans on
! several occasions. that all the Democratic

der guard. This statement is not credited
as such action would precip.tate blood
shed.
! Equipments. rations. and supplies for the

that they are under orders indefinitely
The Goebel people insist that they will

Former Governor Bradley. Taylors chief

train. and Will be there. it is said. TO apply
! for the injunction before Judge Evans
Another report says thai if the Taylor
men apply for Federal Court Intervention
| Justice Harlan, Kentlckian, will be de-

/ application Will be filed. Should he grant
4 it. then the case will b. considered by the
/ full bench, every Justice Of the Supreme
Court sitting. The Taylor application will
allege that one Of tho five federal laws
has been violated. The one that will
probably be selected is that clause pro-
viding thai the liberty and property of NJ
1 citizen shall be seized"
! 1t is argued that the office held by Tayio-
I is property" All this. however. is on the

be made by the Goebelites to have such an
injunction issued today. 1t will be easy
for them to secure such an order Of court
but it will not be served upon Taylor
until he is ready for it, as his soldiers
prevent anybody from reaching him.
TnyIor's Determination.
Taylor holds the key to the situation in
the struggle for the gubernatoriaI seat, and
in sporting parlsIice is standing Pat.
Every mcve of the Goebelites has been
met by Taylor and he believes he holds
the vantage ground. 1t is the aim of tho
Republicans to have the. contest settled by
a nonpartisan court This cannot be had
in Kentucky, and the only resort is tbe
Federal Court. Plans, therefore. have beer
formulated with this end in view. but III,
people of Kentucky are opposed to Federal
interference and do. not approve Of Tay-
! lOr's appeal 20 Mckinley.
! No demand has been made upon TayIor
by Goebel to vacate the Office Of Governor
nor has Beekham served such notice
! upon Marshall. Taylor claims 10 have the
situation well in hand and is resting on
his oars. The Goebelites must make the
next move.
