TO HANG REPUBLICANS.

Secretary of State Powers 'has been held
for trial without BAIL was the announce
ment of bulletin yesterday If the whole
truth had been told it would have read,
Powers has been held for trial without
bail and without evidence" There was not
a particle of evidence upon which an i'm
partial jury would have put an accused
meanor. If the witnesses story were ac-
cepted, there is little in it to justify the
holding of a for trial without bail.
The cross-examination broke down the es-
sentiaI features of his testimony, even if
the impossibility of some of his statements
had not discredited the man. Golden is
man of Incorporate habits, who, without
any qualification. was ambitious to be made
adjutant general of Kentucky. His claims
were not considered, and he was a man
with grievance and without a conscience
He was ready for the offered price for per-
jury. The Goebel mob which filled the
courtroom. armed to a man. practically
overawed the court. If the judge had not
held Powers without bail he would have
been a ruined man if he had escaped with
his life. Under the dictation of that blood
thirsty mob Powers will be tried and con-
victed, and, possibly, executed without a
particle of evidence, for the reason that,
if the jury is not made up of the mob S
men, the man who might be disposed to be
fair would not dare to oppose it's purpose.
The public seems not to realize the make
up of the court in which Powers was ar
raigned. Few but the armed enemies of
the accused were admitted to the court
room. Every man was armed, and when
the Infamous Campbell raised dispute
with Mr.. Denny these armed men would
have shot Powers and others if ex-Gover
| nor Brown had not interposed. He did in
terpose. and here is what he said when
partial quiet had been secured:
After this scene of excitement must ask
that this court adjourn We have just
narrowly escaped awful carnage. / cannot
allow my client TO be tried amid such feel
ing we have seen existing here. L do not
ask this for myself. / have only few
short years left, and am not afraid to risk
them But / would save my State from
| the stain of bloodshed which was just mar
fOWly dNeTttU. saw a dilSTy iutl
with hands their pockets rush to this
| railing, ready for violence. / therefore ask
| that this court adjourn till tomorrow
morning, and that. when we meet here to-
| morrow morning, we have the necessary
| protection.

| bellies are determined to take the lives OF

ers and other Republican leaders, but al

| fund was voted so to sustain such an opin-

| conspiracy which was limited at in the pre-
| diction of Jack Chinn that Republicans
