PROTECTING INDICTED PERSONS.

The indictment that has been found
against Mr.. w. s. Taylor, as an acces-
sorry to the murder of William Goebel. has
been made public. 1t is the understanding
that Mr.. Taylor is in Indiana. 1t is prob
able that Gov. Beckham will issue a redui-
sition for him. Will Gov Mount honor il?
1t is doubtful. Gov. Beckham issued a
requisition on the Indiana governor for
Secretary OF State Finley, charged with
being implicated in the Goebel assassin-
alton and Gov. Mount refused to deliver
him to the Kentucky officer who presented
it. The Governor said that If Fin
ley were taken back to Kentucky he would
be mobbed, in all probability, ard III t,
therefore, he would not deliver him TO the
Kentucky officer. He did not pretend u
have any law to uphold him in the course
he took in the matter. He simply exercised
arbitrary power.
In New York, United States Judge
Brown refused to deliver the parties in
dicted in the United States Court in this
city for frauds in connection with govern
ment harbor work, to the officers who
held the warrants for them, but ne gave
reasons IOr MS course. lie declared mat
the practice in New York justified him in
taking the course he did Whether it did
or not is question concerning which there
is a difference of opinion. Still he had some
excuse for his action, but Gov Mount does
not seem to have had any. Under the Uni
ted States constitution it is his duty to
give up both Finley and Taylor 10 the
officers of Kentucky If judges find ex-
cuses and governors ignore the law 1t is
going 10 be pretty diffio uly matte to br ng
to trial persons who have gene reyoni
the limits of the state in which they are
indicted.
1t looks as If there were something
wrong somewhere with the legal machiu-
cry for getting indicted persons from the
states in which they have taken refuge to
the states in which they are wanted. Gov
Mount, 1t is fair to assume, is influence l
in his course by political feeling judge
Brown doubtless believes his view of the
law is right, but this governor and this
judge have succeeded pretty effectually in
blocking the wheels of justice in no able
cases. They have made presidents which
doubtless v9ll be followed by other judges
and governors who desire to shield re-
sons within their jurisdictions who are
wanted elsewhere.

Oklahoma City this afternoon where they

to assess private property on the basis
Of a two-ffths valuation in keeping with
the alleged valuation of the railroads.
Such a policy, If carried out, it has been
calculated, would result in a ruinously
low assessment, the levies upon which
would fail to produce the necessary reve-
nues for running The territory, by many
thousands of dollars. in Consequence of
which there would be violent reduction
in the price OF warrants, followed by the
serious impairment of the territory's
credit abroad The governor is armed

VICE PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL
Jee Manley Says it is Abundant But
INV Hing

New York, April 1.-THE Tribune this
morning prints the follofing: Joseph H
Manley, member of the national commit
tee from Maine, in speaking of the pres
ent condition of Republican politics in
regard to the coming vice presidential
nomination, said:
Every one is completely at sea, so far
as the vice presidency is concerned, and
there is actually no one of the Republican
leaders who can today say with certainty
who viii be nominated. II Theodore
Roosevelt had accepted the nomination it
would have been rendered him with prac-
teal unanimity. But since he has de-
clined to allow his name TO be considered,
the party ought not to force hiFn further.
Cornelius Bliss would also have been an
ideal candidate. His able administration
Of the department of the interior has
given him great strength throughout the
west, in which part of the country he is
very popular. He. too, would have had
great strength with the big business in
terests. But Mr.. Bliss has, for personal
and family reasons, retired from public
life. New England can present many
candidates who would be acceptable to
the country and who would ably fill this
high Office, but it would be OF no political
advantage TO nominate man from New
England. If, however, the vice sresi-
deney should go to this part OF the coun-
try, Secretary of the Navy John D. Long
is the man around whom the relegates
will rally.
IF the vice presidential nomination is
not to go to New York, however, every
thing seems to point to the candidate
coming from the northwest and if the
rhythm an should be selected from that
section it Will greatly strengthen the
ticket. Senator Spooner of Wisconsin
would undoubtedly sweep the northwest
ern states if he would only consent to
the use of his name. Senator Wolcott
Of Colorado has also been mentioned for
the vice presidency and if he should be
nominated he would add strength to the
ticket in the silver states. Ex-senator
w. D. Washburn of Minnesota would also
be an admirable candidate. He has the
benefit of having been borne in Maine
and of being member of one of the most
famous and distinguished OF our great
American families. Washburn has serv-
ed his country ably and well in the
United States senate. 1t is understood
that Mr. Washburn does not care to en-
ter public life, as he is immersed In large
business interests. Mr. Washburn is very
strong in the northwest and throughout
the country and would unduestionably
add strength to the Republican ticket
should he be placed upon it. There is q
wealth of material for this great posi-
ton in almost every part or the country,
and for that reason it sthe more re-
markable that as yet here is only one
candidate who is openly seeking the Of
fee The convention is less than sixty
days off, with no concentration as yet on
any candidate, and, from all appearances, /
there will 5e none until after the conven-
ton meets"

FLYNN'S MAJORITY STILL GROWS
Discovered That 1t ~ as One Hundred
Tee Small

Guthrie, o. T.. April Pit has just been
discovered that the Republican majority
in Oklahoma in 1S98 was greater by 100
votes than has heretofore been supposed.
Frank Cook, the editor of the Cloud
Chief Herald-Sentinel and the RepubIi-
can territorial committeeman from
Washita county, in looking over the tab
ulated returns from the 1898 elections a
few days ago discovered a mistake of
unit in the addition Of the third column
Of Delegate Flynn's vote in that county.
Instead of receiving 667 votes, as was an
nounced, Flynn walked out Of Washita
county with 767 This increases his total
vote in the territory to 2S,556. and his
plurality to 946S Cook made known his
discovery OF the error to Secretary
Charles Filson Of the Territorial commit
tee, and an investigation proved that the
Cloud Chief editor was correct. The err
ror was overlooked by the board of can
vassers in making the official count.
