TAYLOR FORCED TO YIELD


beginning OF peace negotiations that viii
very shortly result satisfactorily. Is
Thought possible that Taylor and his fiery
Collier are still anxious 10 hold out and
fight rather than-y yield one ieta Of their
contention, but IL is not generally be-
lieyed that they will maintain this stern
front nf war Iongey than some agreement
can be reached by their legal advisers IN
to the safest course to get their case into
the Federal courts so as not to waive their
rights to the offices new held by them.
Despite Tayior's carefully prepared
statement denying that he is weakening"
the consensus of sound judgment here is
that he issued this manifesto only for the
purpose of letting himself down es silly. II
is universally conceded that there is not
any doubt at all as to the very earnest de-
sire of the Republican Lieutenant Gov
ernor. Marshall. to bring about peaceful
settlement through legal processes. and
that behind him are arrayed the most
Kentucky. It is. therefore. believed that
he met the Democrats In conference at
Louisville with the consent, II not actually
at the direction. of Taylor.
The Democrats are said to be secretly
organizing military companies all over
the State, presumably for the purpose of
rushing here in arms to back up the posse
eomitatus which IL is supposed the sheriff
will call for whenever the writ of iniunc-
tiou Is placed in his hands for execution.
1t Is now being stated that Judge Cantrell
win vacate his temporary restraining order
when the case is called for final hearing
before him at Georgetown on Thursday.
The object of this is asserted to be to get
the Injunction writ Immediately perpetu-
ated by the Court of Appeals, the highest
judicial tribunal in the State. and to
which the Democrats will carry it. This,
of course will be done by agreement
the Republicans call it collusion- The
Court OF Appeals Is Democratic by one
majority, and it is not doubted that Judge
Cantrell's temporary restraining order will
be made permanent by this tribunal. even
though the court which issued it vacates
it on the final hearing To the end that
none Of the Democratic judges fall under
the assassin's bullet before the injunction
suit is settled they are being very care
fully guarded day and night.
Mr.. Goebel's body will be started on its
trip to covington at o'clock tomorrow
morning. The unusual hour for removing
it was selected. it is said. because the spe-
cial train could not conveniently be OBJ
tanned at any other hour. The run to
Covington will be made in about three
hours. Whether the populace will be Fer-
mitted to view the corpse at one or more
stations has not yet been decided. There
is growing suspicion. however, that an
organized movement has been started 10
infisme Democratic minds beyond the point
of control. Conservative citizens view
various utterances in todas's issue Of the
Kentucky State Democrat the principal
local organ, as substautiation Of this sus-
picion.
In support OF this belief it is pointed
out that until today the tone of this paper
has been remarkably calm all through the
trying times, but in today's issue it i'm
putes to Mr.. Goebel variety CT highly
sentences only few minutes
before he died. In double leaded edi-
torial the paper thus speaks Of the dead |
