Aid., Frankfort, Ky., Jan. ll.-rThe Bepubli can leaders, while not abandoning the fight against Goebel in the legislature, are eagerly, awaiting news from Wash ington as to what aid the federal gov ernment would give the Taylor adminis tration in the event Goebel; is seated by the legislature. That the Republican leaders are advising Gov. Taylor to resist in case the legislature decides in favor of Goebel and arepromising support to him, is generally admitted. -There was a conference tonight of Re publican leadert' from all over the state, among whom were several .prominent federal office holders, and it. is said that stronger pressure is to be brought to bear at Washington than has been .heretofore in favor of Taylor.. The sentiment of all those a ttending the conference was decid edly belicbse, and the feeling is somewhat heightened by the fact that at least three of the legislative contests are so near to completion tonight as to assure a vote on them next week, and that a majority of them are nearly certain to be disposed of before the contests for governor and lieutenant governor are voted on.

If the l&vr savs Goebel should be governor, it will depend upon officers of. the law to execute the law's mandates.
