TfdukIOrt, n.y., &feD.s IL. - Nearly
. every republican county committeeman
came to Frankfort Saturday. On the
early morning train came large num-
bers REPUBLICAN leaders from all parts
of the state. Several republican mem
bers of the legislature were among the
number, including Senators Kirk and
johnson and Representative Lewis.
Shortly before II o'clock the doors of
the capitol were opened and the state
delegation went up to the assembly
room the first time it has been opened
since the shooting of Gov. Goebel. The
republican chairman and members of
the legislature refused absolutely to
talk in regard to the objects of their
visit. 81. = .
Taylor Wildly Cheered. =
At II o'clock Gov. Taylor, accom-
panied by Private Secretary Todd, Sec
rotary of State Caleb Powers and Hud-
son Thatcher entered the assembly
room. His arrival was the signal for a.
wild outburst of cheering, men stand
ing on chairs and yelling and waving
their hats in greeting. The doors we're
then locked and guard placed at the
door,
Discuss Two Propositions.
The assembly discussed two propo-
sitions, one that the governor sign the
agreement, the other that he refuse to
sign, "and let the law take it's course"
Will Not Sign.
It was definitely decided that Gov.
Taylor should not sign the Louisville
agreement. He made the declaration
at IS minutes after one o'clock as he
came from the Legislative hall, in which
he had all morning been in conference
with the republican committeeman.
He has decided to allow the matter to
be settled in the courts and will abide
by their action.
Legislature Ordered Back.
At 1:45 p. m. Gov. Taylor issued the
following proclamation:
frankfort, KY, Feb. 10, 19OO.-The ex-
c1tement recently prevailing in this city
having to some extent subsidized, and there
appearing now to be no necessity for the
London, I do hereby by this proclamat ton
reconvene the same in Frankfort KY,
February II, 1900, at IL o'clock, noon.
(SigneO 'W. S. TAYLOR"
"Governor of Kentucky
Troops Ordered Home.
Immediately after Gov. Taylor came
from the hall orders were issued to the
troops to return to their homes and
Col. Williams at once sent messages Or
dering cars to be prepared for their
transportation.
Meeting Long and Exciting.
The meeting was long and exciting
one, opinion from the first being strong
ly against the signing of any agreement
with the democrats which might IN any
way be construed as a surrender of the
republicans. The feeling was also gen
eral that it was needless to keep up the
fight as it had been conducted during
the last two weeks. It was then decided
to allow the legislature to come back
on Monday, to discontinue the sessions
at London, and allow matters to be set
tied by the legal tribunals.
There is no doubt what the decision
of the courts and legislature will be, as
both Of them have already gone on rec
ord as favoring the Goebel side of the
controversy.
Resolution Adopted.
The following resolution was passed
by the meeting:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that Gov. Taylor should not sign
the agreement referred to him by the
Louisville conference, and that reposing
confidence in his ability and sense of duty,
we are content to follow his leadership att
er that REFUSAL"
The resolution was passed after Gov.
Taylor had left the hall and was adopt
ed with ringing cheers. A small detach-
ment Of troops will be left around the
capitol building to preserve order.
Refuse to Talk.
Louisville, KY, Feb. 12-When
shown the bulletins announcing the
result of the Frankfort conference,
neither Senator Blackburn nor Gov.
Beckham would express an opinion as
to the effect upon the plans of the
democrats.
1T is matter about which we must con-
fer" said Senator Blackburn, land any,
thing could say might give a misleading
impression of what may be expected as
a result of our consultation.
when we get the copy of the original
agreement which Gov Taylor has rejected,
we shall have statement to give out COW
ering the course of the negotiations. Lam
very glad the suspense is over, and that
the matter has cached finality. All nego-
tiations are now off, = - 10 ::
Gov. Beckham was at dinner when
the bulletin was handed to him, but
hurriedly finished his meal and with
other party leaders started for the
Willard hotel to join Senator Black
burn, Col. D. r. Murray and others
who were in waiting there. No out
siders were admitted to this confer
ence. ,.:-.;, -ss---'. 49,. 5Szs s#z-&
