had been received saying Governor
Taylor had signed the conference agrev
ment and the London, legislature wopld

lowing telegram to the chief executive
this morning:
"Discouraging reports here. Members
are unanimously against the agreement.
Imperative to know the condition at
once."
This telegram was soon followed by
another to Taylor from Representative
Kelday, which read as follows :
"Make no compromise of our rights
under the constitution and law. We
represent the people of the common
wealth for a free election and a fair count.
Any attempt on the part of any man or
set of men to set aside the result of the
last election by force, fraud or vicious
legislation, without consent of the people,
is treason. We therefore pledge you our
support and will but stand by the
election returns, as counted by the
electorial commission. All members
agree to this."
Fkankfort, Ky., Feb. 7. It is stated
on excellent authority that Governor
Taylor has decided not to sign tho Louis
ville agreement in its present shape. He
desires several charges in it, and parti
cularly a definite statement regarding
the repeal of the Goebel law.
