He Lashes the Men and Papers Who
Are viIifyinE Him.
CINCINNATI, April 6.-Governor Taylor
gave out the following statement at Frank
fort tonight:
For weeks L have been made the target
of vilification by certain unprincipled
newspapers In Kentucky. The vilest insin-
uations have been made and the most out
rageous falsehoods have been told. When
/ was called TO attend the funeral of be-
loved brother ii was seized upon as an at
tempt upon my part to fly from justice.
Again. when called to my home by reason
of the death OF a dear sister. the fountains
of abuse were open u and a food OF false
hood and slander poured forth upon me.

last return to Frankfort these papers has
tened to publish the statement that l was
met at the train and escorted to my home
by squad OF soldiers with Gatling gun.
There is not one word of truth In this state
ment, but nevertheless 1t was published and
circulated to harm me. Not content with
this infamous. ghoulish work. which with
unblushing audacity has followed me to the
graves of my brother and sister. even the
privacy of my family has been invaded.
and because my wife drew from the bank
some money with which to pay the soldiers
an attempt was made TO impress the people
that she. too, was preparing to fly.
"Once and for all desire to say: Neither
directly nor indirectly had any connection
with the assassination of Senator Goebel.

its laws. am not criminal, neither shall

ever indicted. IL such an outrage should be
committed, L shall appear for trial, con-
scious of my innocence and of the ultimate
triumph of right and justice. The whole
purpose of this persecution has been and is
to drive me from my post of duty, and to
punish me for holding the office to which l
have been fairly elected. Such a surrender

about fifty years DID, and is said to have
been responsible for many of the Boer suc-
cesses in Natal and later in Cape Colony

Beers at the centers. from which they were

the most notable of all the soldiers of for

ten occasional interesting letters TO French
correspondents. As the captured Boer
soldiers were in position to defend them
selves for nearly twenty-four hours and
were then forced to surrender the fighting
must have been severe.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal
KOKOMO. Ind, April 6.-The announce
ment of the candidacy of Admiral Dewey
struck unwelcome in this section of
Indiana. Both Democrats and Republicans
deeply regret the step he has taken. No
Republicans hereabout favor his candi-
dacy. Fear is expressed that If he secured
the presidency he would turn it over to his
wife, as he did a certain valuable gift from
the people, which is a matter of recent
history. Democrats treat the matter no
less lightly, hardly knowing whether TO
take the announcement seriously or not.

Judge Burnam's separate opinion says:
1T is hard to imagine more fragrant and
partisan disregard of the modes of pro-

alleged and relied on by contestees and ad-
mitted by demurrer. and am firmly con-
vinced from admitted facts that the Legis-
lature. in the heat Of anger, engendered by
intense partisan excitement. has done two
faithful, conscientious and able public
servants an irreparable injury in depriving
them of the office to which they were
elected, and a still greater wrong to the
large majority of the electors who voted
under difficult circumstances 10 elect these
servants. But we are met at the threshold

CITY OF MEXICO, April 6.-Admiral
Dewey's announcement OF his candidacy
for the American presidency caused much
astonishment here among American resi-
dents and In the local press. The Mexican
Herald says IL remains TO be seen how far
the admiral can go without a great politi-
cal organization behind him. The same
journal thinks that the Republican con-
gressmen have played into the admirars
hands by their unwise action regarding
