TAYLOR'S i mm AGAINST LAW.
The highest Kentucky court has
aflirmed the legality of Gov. Beck-
ham's election to the governorship
of Kentucky, and has declared
Taylor a usurper. The decision
was unanimous, two Republican
ihembers of the court voting favor-
ably to it. Since the very begin
ning of this unhappy contoversy,
Taylor has constantly asserted his
desire for a peaceful solution of
I. He has suggested compromises
which, as fast as acceded to by the
Democrata, he has repudiated. He
miliarly known, had often express-
ed his willingness to meet it.
His remains were entombed Mon-
day in the cemetery at Tunnell 8
Chapel to rest in peaceful slumber
till the coming of the Great Day.

have been able to learn the facts
areabout these: As was published
in a recent issue of the Enterprise,
Andy Widerspin, superintendent of
the Lone Star Salt works, has
sailed for Europe. Silas Brown,
time keeper and foreman of the
works, wrote out a list of rules
after Mr. Wilderspin’s departure for
the hands, which they did not like
and which displeased them very
much. So they “struck” and re-
quested Mr Brown to shake the
dust off his feet and get out of the
city. Mr.Brown doesn’t seem to
want to do that very much and
there is about to be blood on the

bidding the office which he has
usurped. The Taylor lawyers have
thirty days to complete their ap-
peal to the federal court, and there
is little doubt but they will avail
themselves of all the time. There
will then be a further delay in the
hearing, and in the decision by the
court, so that it is probably safe to
estimate that tin dilatory methods
adopted by this political
pirate will keep him in an office to
which he was not elected for from
sixty to ninety days yet to come.
Indeed there is grave reasons t
suspect that his true purpose, and
that of the Republicrn party, which

A QUN FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
An effective volley w 18 fired in
the cause of Democracy by the
Pennsylvania Democrats at their
convention in Harrisburg April 5.
Sixty four delegates were chosen,
and instructed definitely for Bryan.
Thus far five states have held con-
ventions—Maseachusetts, U tab.
Nebraska, Rhode Gland and Penn-
sylvania. All have instructed for
Bryan for president, and all except
Pennsylvania for the reaffirmation
of the Chicago platform. The tone
of the Pennsylvania platform leaves
no doubt that the delegates from
that state will stand loyally by the
platform of 1896 in its essentials
The action of these state conven-
tions aff rds an idea of the Demo-
cratic opinion uh to the wisdom of
sending instructed delegates. It
will be well if every state conven-
tion shall instruct. The Demo-
cratic national convention at Kan-
sas City ought to reflect the desires
and wishes of the Democratic mass-
es. The only opportunity the
masses have to express their desire
is at the primary elestions. The
delegates chosen by the primaries
should be instructed, and the dele-
gates whom they, in turn, choose at
the state conventions should be in-
structed in accordance tith the
purposes precribed by the primary
voters. Then the final result at
Kansas City will not be the out
come of trades and doubtful com-
promises, but will be, as it should
be the formal registration of the
people’s will.
