Cincinnati. o.. Feb. 10.-Jackson and
Walling, after a somewna5 exciting
first day in Jail, are reported TO be in
good spirits to-day.
1t looks as if the men will shortly be
taken to Newport for trial. The grand
jury is now in session, and
IS said, is hearing evidence in
the case. The Prosecuting At
J0rney is already preparing indicl-
menJs. Besides this Governor Bradley

JiOn OF the prisoners.
While the officers Of Campbell
county, Kentucky. are confident that
they can protect the prisoners in Ken
lucky, and while citizens of Newport
resent the imputaJion of lawlessness
il is still the common notion that little
would be left for the courts to do with
these prisoners if they should be placed
in the Newport Jail.

statement about his bloody coat found
in the sewer. He claims that Walling
wore his clothing on the night of the

The Sixth Congressional district
usually presents solid front for
any favorite candidate before the
state convention, and we believe
that VIM. E. Lee will have prac.
tically the solid support OF the
district for governor before the
next state convention. If it was
not for the influence Of state of.
ficers and appointees the support
would be unanimous, but the in.
terests of officer holders and state
institutions are powerful in some
quarters, and the powers that be
have a certain following regardless
of the individual to be aided or
the candidates who are against
him. The localities where such
influences control are very few in
the Sixth district. and Clough's
strength is confined closely to
them. And that influence is of
the most treacherous character, as
Clough will find out. It is en-
entirely selfish, and therefore un.
reliable.

The Royalton Banner agrees
with the Herald that great big
fight Is in prospect in the Republi.
can party in Morrison county,
and declares that the next county
convention will be the stormiest
ever held in the county. While
a big row might he viewed with
satisfaction by some, they will be
sadly disappointed. The Republi.
cans of Morrison county have got
good sense, and will not have a
stormy convention to suit the
personal plans of anyone. There
are no differences that can bring a
party row on, and any who hope
to gain bv creating discord will
find themselves very lonesome.
This bluffing and blowing about
"big fight" and stormy con.
ventions" will come home to
roost at the proper time. The
interests Of no candidate nor of
the party demand any such foolish
talk.

are selling cattle, wheat, corn,
potatoes and butter at the ruin.

ducts command today in this

Taylor Brothers, Condemned Murder
err. "a p" From JAIL
CARRoLLroN NO., April 1S.-George
Taylor, who escaped Saturday night,
~ days before the day set for his OK
ecution for the brutal murder OF the
Meeks family, is still at large, with
little chance of being recaptured. His
brother, William, is still in Jail which
is heavily guarded. Fifty men spent
all day trailing George. The blood
hounds traced the trail only quarter
of mile out of town, where some con-
federate evidently met him with a We.
hicle. The dogs next struck the trail
four miles from town near the Wabash
tracks, but after following it short
distance, again lost it at q pond near
the Santa Fe tracks. Some people be-
lieved that George jumped a passing
freight here and got out of the country.
