Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1900-02-08

midnight the republican anu ueIho-
cratic conferees in session at the Gait
house came to an agreement. A stem
cgrapher was summoned and the doc
nment drawn up for the signatures of
,,, participants in the conference. 1t
fs said the agreement is decidedly fav-
or,ble to the democrats. Governor
ravlor is to withdraw the troops from
the state buildings at Frankfort and
send them home. The order conven-
ing the legislature at London will be
revoked, and regular sessions of the
peneral assembly will be resumed at
the STATE capitol without molestation.
III was after O'Clock when the con
ference separated rhe democrats
gained nearly every point they con
tended for and the republican repre-
ssptatives gave assurance that the
agreement would be approved by Gov.
TAYLOR today The agreement pro-
yldes that in order to leave no question
AS TO the title of Goebel and Beckham
a Joint assembly shall pass a resolution
validating the acts on that subject
since the legislature has been prevent
ed Uy troops from holding regular
sessions at Frankfort. Beckham'
.a,I4 to the office of governor will not
g. questioned. The democrats grant
immunity to Gov Taylor and his as
s.s.an,s from prosecution for treason,
usurparion of office and contempt of
court for what has been done since the
shooting of Goebel These matters
sra 20 be held in allegiance until next
Monday The republican legislature
is Cd be withdrawn from London i'm
mediarely and no fillibustering or
other attempt of this character will be
reslrtad to by republicans to obstruct
rha carrying out of the agreement in
rae legislature. The acceptance OF
this agreement by the principals is the
only element of uncertainty now re-
naming in the situation.
