DECIDED AGAINST TAYLOR.
The Supreme Court Disraisses Repub-
licans' Petition-Court Has
no Jurisdiction.

WARRINGTON, May 21.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day decided
that 1t has no jurisdiction in the Ken
lucky gubernatoriai wrangle because
no federal question is involved, and
dismissed the petition of W. 3.
Taylor, the Republican incumbent, for
. hearing. This leaves the victory
with the Democratic governor and
sustains the legality of the action Of
the Kentucky Legislature.
The great public interest was again
evinced by the vast assemblage that
had Hocked to the Supreme Court
room to hear the reading of the opin-
ion.
Nearly all the Kentucky represent
atives in Congress were there, also
Congressman Bailey, Senator Bur-
rows, Senator Daniel and others.
Neither Taylor nor Beckham were
present or represented by counsel
Chief Justice Fuller read the opinion
of the court.
JUSTICES OPINIONS.
Justice MeKenna announced that
he concurred In the result, but wa
not prepared to say that an office Ii
not property. In this case, however
TayIor's rights had not yet become
property Eights.
Justice Brewer, for himself ant
Justice Brown, was unable to concul
in ali the chief justice had said. H'
held that the court has jurisdiction
and that an office is property, bu'
that the contest before the Legislature
was final. He thought the writ o.
error should be dismissed, but tina
the Judgment should be affirmed. HI
does not deny that there were many
alleged wrongs and that some of thu
results were achieved by trickery.
Justice Harlan announced yet an
other view, 1t being his opinion tina
the court has Jurisdiction and tina
the decision should be reversed
The action of the legislature wa
discrsditable, he said. 1t took actor
without consideration. It defied thu
action of the people. Il ought not Il
be respected as judgment of an!
court. There was q fixed determine
ton to seat Goebel. No judgmen
favorable to him could have heel
reached had the evidence and the Law
and the Constitution been regarded.
