Kentucky Court Show. Itself.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal.
The court before which the ferocious
Democrats want to bring Taylor. Finley
and others, Is showing its animus and
partisanship in a worse light than words
possibly could. 1t Is showing, as ii did in
empaneling a Democratic jury to bring in
dictments, how completely it is permeated
by the spirit of those who lead in robbing
the people of their right to choose State
officers. and who. to silence opposition.
now want to hang Taylor and damn the
Republican party" Mark this last exhibit
Of partisan meanness and spite work. AS
If ashamed of the partisan action of their
party jury, the court smothered its own
records. Without one jot of justification,
or an atom for any Just excuse, the court
kept the action of the jury from it's records
for weeks and months. This, under the cir
cumstances, was not only wholly without
excuse, but was an arbitrary. high-handed
and secret exercise of official power, which
matches any star-chamber proceeding In
the days of the Inquisition. There was no
good TO come Of this secrecy. Not only w.
s. Taylor, whose life and honor were in
volved, but the people of the State had q
right to know what the court and its jury
had done. In so doing, this court assumed
~high-handed authority and prerogatives in
utter disregard of the people who created

as any individual can be to any court. This
is unwritten, but real law and fundamental
justice. BY keeping the indicted in ignor-
ance the court was depriving him of privi-
leges and possible opportunities for gath
ering testimony, which by lapse of time
might be lost either through death or the
fear of witnesses.
Again, when Mr.. Taylor called on the
clerk of the court and asked him whether
any indictment had been returned against
him, the clerk refused to answer. Why
this sly, impudent action? ii reminds us
that in free America little petty court
judges and court clerks play despotism,
judicially and personally, with a haughti-
ness that colors up with the meanest and
most vicious of Lord Jeffries's basest court
conduct. But as soon as Mr.. Taylor con-
sents to abide by the decision of his party
as to candidacy for the Office of which they
have robbed him the judge sends word to
Frankfort to issue a warrant for his arrest.
And this is the judge, "a dyed in the wool
Democrat" whom his Democratic associ-
ates want to try their Republican oppon-
ents. These remarkable proceedings, not
taken in open court" show how utterly
impossible il would be for Taylor or other
Republicans to get a fair, impartial trial
in Kentucky, while this storm of violence
is raging. JUSTICE.

MIR. ovERsTREET's DILEMMA.
Much Put Out Over the Action of h
Railroad Companies.

Arthur Overstreet, Of Columbus, was In
the city yesterday looking after railroad
accommodations for a party of people who
desire to attend the Republican national
convention at Philadelphia. Mr.. Overstreet
and his friends are in a quandary. They
arranged with the Pullman Car Company
to furnish them a car at the rate of $40 a
day. They expected to have their lodgings
in this car at Philadelphia. Now they find
that the railroad companies will not per-
nit cars to stand inside the city Of Phil
adelphia. The Columbus people wanted
their car to stand in the Chestnut-stree
station, which is only a few blocks from
the Lafayette Hotel. where the Indiana
delegation will have its headquarters. The
Columbus people further find that IL they
only use a sleeper going to and coming
from Philadelphia they will have to pay
berth rates, which will bring the price
much higher than the amount they would
pay for using the car during the entire
trip. Mr.. Overstreet was considerably dis
he could make no satisfactory arrange
ments with the railroads.
Mr.. Overstreet has recently returned
from a trip to Washington and New York,
where he went on political business. He
heard a good deal of vice presidential talk
while on the trip. and much of 1T concerned
Senator Fairbanks and Governor Roose-
Welt. Mr.. Oyerstreet had a talk with Roose-
welt. He believes the latter would accept
the vice presidential nomination If 1t were
offered him.

NO REQUISITION ISSUED
DISPATCH FROM KENTUCKY IN REF
ERENCE TO GOVERNOR TAYLOR.
Latter's Friends Wanted Him to Go to
the Philadelphia Convention
Kentucky Law Consulted.

A dispatch from Frankfort, KY, last
night, says that Governor Beckham has.
as yet, made no requisition on Governor
Mount for the extradition of Governor
Taylor, under the warrant recently issued,
but that every effort will be made soon to
have the warrant executed according to
the order of the court.
The dispatch also said that. while Gov
ernor Taylor's friends in Kentucky were
maintaining that he need nave no fear of
extradition in passing through Ohio. West
Virginia and Pennsylvania TO the Phila-
delphia convention, yet they thought it
best for him not to go East. Kentucky Re-
publicans are very anxious for Governor
Taylor to present the name Of former
Governor Bradley for the nomination for
Vice President. and the delegation from
hat State expects to make quite a demon
stration when Taylor presents MI. Brad
ley's name to the convention.
Governor Taylor returned to this city
from Martinsville yesterday morning, ac-
companied by Mr.. Finley and w. K. Bells.
The Governor said. last night. that he
knew OF nothing new that would in any
way interest the public. He spoke In glow
ing terms of the hospitality extended to
him at Martinsville. saying he had been
royalty entertained and that he hated to
leave. Mr.. Finley. accompanied by r. N.
Miller and Thomas R. Todd, paid a visit
to the Statehouse yesterday morning,
where they examined the Kentucky law
regarding the finding of indictments. After
a close examination of the law all three
of the gentlemen came to the conclusion
that all the officers who have had a hand
In concealing the Indictment against Gov
ernor Taylor have violated their oath of

says that upon an indictment being found.
If the defendant be not In custody, or not
on bail, the court shall forthwith make an
order for process to be issued thereon,
designating whether 1t shall be for arrest

who demanded of the court officials that
the indictment be filed IL 1t was in exist

with. Mr.. inkea maintains that the in

BROUGHT GOOD REPORTS
DISTRICT CHAIRMEN TELL OF FINE
REPUBLICAN CONDITIONS.
An Informal Meeting of the State Com
mittee-Nfnth District ngres
sionaI Tulk-POlifical Notes.

At the meeting of the Republican state
committee yesterday. held in the commit
tee rooms. in the Majestic building. all the
districts were represented except the Sec
ond. Third n Tenth. The meeting was
strictly an informal one and Chairman
Hernly said it was called for the purpose
Of discussing general political conditions.
After the meeting he said that each con-
gressional district was canvassed thorough
ly and that after an hour or two's discus
sion of the situation the committee reached
the conclusion that things are in the finest
kim of shape. The chairman says 1t looks
as If there could be no doubt of a Repub-
lican victory this fall IL the condition Of
the congressional districts in Indiana Is
to be taken as an indication.
The Sixth district, of which Miles X.
Moffett, of Connersville. is chairman. was
represented in the meeting by w. F.
Downs, who is chairman of the Fayette
county Republican committee. After the
meeting Mr.. Downs talked most enthusiast
tically of the conditions in the Sixth dis
trict. He says it is in better shape for CIV
ing big Republican maJorfties than ne has
ever known IL TO be. He says the Demo-
Gratis will nominate David Mckee, of Con-
nersville, to make the race for Congress
against James f. Watson. and he asserts
that Mr.. Watson will have a walk away"
Mr.. Downs estimates hat Representative
Watson will carry the district this year by
1900 votes. He carried ii two years ago by
$500. Mr.. Downs says that. while some of
the Republicans of the district have not
agreed perfectly with the policy of the
administration along some lines, none of
them have become seriously dissatisfied,
and at this time all are in line with the
administration. Not a man has left the
party because everything was not carried
on according to his own peculiar beliefs.

A REAR-END COLLISION
IRvINGTON STREET CARS WRECKED
NEAR THE BELT RAILROAD.
Motorman Harry Ham1in Injured
The Wreck Caused by n Brake
Chain That Gave Way.

Last night at u o'clock the Irvington
street-car line was tied up by a rear-end
collision at the Belt Railroad crossing. In
his knee twisted, and the result of other
injuries could not be determined at an
early hour this morning.
Car No. $50 was coming in from Irving
ton and stopped at the Belt crossing to al
low a freight train to pass. Following No.
$50 was car No. $50. Nc. $50 was just start
ing when No. $50 was drawing near. Mo-
torman Hamlin, on No. $50, shut off the
current to stop, and put on the brakes, but
the brake chain broke and he lost control
of the car. On 1t came at full speed, the
motorman trying in vain to stop the car
before it plunged into the one in front.
When within a few feet of the front car a
rear wheel broke. and. with a lurch, it
crashed into the back platform of No. $50.
Motorman Hamlin was pinned between
the dashboard and front of his car. His
body was apparently free, but his legs
were held as If in a vice. Conductor Thorn
as j. Heffernan. Of 235 West Twenty-first
street, of car No.. $50. and Motorman John
N. Beck. of zoos Chadwick street, and Con-
ductor William S. Mclaughlin, of 1920 Ash
street, running car No. $50, and others
came to his assistance. He could not move,
and it was necessary to pry the heavy
sheet iron and timbers apart to release
him. He was taken into the office of the
Wittmer Lumber Company, and DR.. Spen-
Ger was called. He said that, from a hasty
examination, he thought the twisted knee
was the only serious injury sustained.
There were no passengers on either car,
and the others escaped injury. Conductor
Mclaughlin was on the running board
when the accident happened. The wreck
wagon was called. and the rear car had to
be pried up and put on trucks to be taken
