The democratic leaders say nothing
more will be done hy them in the
matter of peace prg9tiations. They
say they came to an agreement with
seven accredited agents Of the renub-
hc1n administration which agree
ment was signed by all Of the + con-
fcrees. The republicans, they say,
gave assurances that the tcrD.s they
made would be accepted by Gov. Iav-
. lor One clause of the agreement. they
say, was that things should rem1in
/ in statu quo until next Monday. and
+ the democrats regard the proceedings
1 before the federal court ut Cincinnati
and Gov. Taylor's message to the Lon
don legislature advising that warrants
be SWORN out for the arrest Of ab-
sent members as a departure from the
spirit Of the agreement.
The republicans now in the city who
were present at the conference re-
fuse TO make any statement as 10 the
present conditions of the conference
of last Tuesday. One Of them. Lieut..
Gov. John Marshall has gone TO Lou-
don TO attend the session Of fhc re-
publican legislature there
Frankfort. Ky. Feb. 11.-G0v. Tav-
lor has not signed thc peace agrcc-
mont Saturday morning. and as usual
declined to give any hint OF his IN
tention. The men throughout the
state who have been wiring him 10
stand firm, and whom he invited here
to talk over the situation appeared in
fairly large numbers Saturday morn
ing. About sixty Of them went to the
governors Office, among the number
being many of the leading republican
politicians from Lexington and the
territory adjacent 10 that city. Ser
geant-at-a1ms Howard and Cecil are
expected in Frankfort from London
Saturday morning with warrants for
the arrest of democratic members of
the legislature. 1t is difficult TO see
how they can execute their mission
here, as there is not, at the present
time, single member Of the lcgisla- |
ture in or around Frankfort. Every |
democrat has gone to Louisville.
Secretary X. j. Hampton, Of the re- /
publican state central committee, who /
arrived in Frankfort Saturday morn |
ing from Winchester, gives II rs his I
opinion that the injunction proceed |
ings at Cincinnati wi have no bearing |
whatever on the gubernatorial situa-
ton.
II am unable even to predict tie
licans are confident of making good
case for both the courts and the peo-
pie. l see no chance of getting the
legislature together unless the demo-
Gratis should he taken TO London. IL
warrants have been issued they Will
be taken to Louisville at once for
service"
