LEXINGTON. Ky. March 29.-The
Morning Herald of this city will print to-
morrow the following special from Win

The Republican party l feel sure that
l can arrange for enough of the aopro-
priation for Youtsey to make him and
his wife comfortable for the rest of their
lives. Culton is going to confess in the
morning, and Youtsey had better get in
while he can. The money is going and he
might as we'll have his share.
James Andrew Scott said this at the
Reese House Monday night to N II
Wi,hcrspoon and Judge C. S. French,
respectively, brother-in-law. and fatn1~-
in-law Of Ioutsey.
Scott had telcphoned Wirherspoon in
the early afternoon:
..Mcet me at the Reese House, on the
quiet and he had been promptly met
Judge French was later called as the
head of the family, who should be. con-
suited in matter of such Importance.
The party stayed in consultation until
midnight, Scott insisting that Youtscy
should confess and make himself rich.
While others listened passively and then
replied:
..Youtsey has told all he knows and
can say nothing more"
Scott dwclt on the point that Culton
would confess the next day, and unless
Yoatsey got in his story first, the other
man would get away with the money.
but neither Witherspoon nor French
would accede to the request for Scott
to go to Frankfort and advise Youtsey
to tell i story that would hang Taylor
and damage the Republican party.
