HITCH IN PEACE PLANS.
Apparently a misunderstanding Be-
tween Political Leaders.

FRANKFORT, KY, February 5.-There
has evidently been a misunderstanding he
tween the leaders of the democratic party
and those of the republican party regarding
the session of the legislature to be held at
London The democrats state that they
were given to understand that the session
at London would be abandoned and that
the legislature would meet tomorrow in the
capitol building.
Gov. Taylor who was difficult of access
early in the day, announced positively that
the London session will not be abandoned,
but declines to say whether or not the DEM
ocratic members of the legislature will be
allowed to net in the capitol. He, how
ever gives no indication of an intention to
prevent their doing so, and Adjt Gen. COL
lier. who has. ever since the issuance OF the
proclamation declaring Frankfort in a state
of insurrection, declared explicitly that the
legislature would not be allowed to meet in
the capitol, allowed it to be tacitly under
stood this morning that no attempt would
be made to prevent any such proceeding.
He called attention to the fact that no
demand to meet in the capitol building had
been made by the democratic members
since Saturday. and in reply to a question
as to whether he would allow them to meet
if they desired to do so. replied:
1T is ample time to climb that mountain
when we reach it,
What the Democrats Understood.
On the other hand it is unquesuonably
the understanding of the democrats that
the legislature as whole would meet to-
morrow in the capitol building, and that
the republican members would be recalled
from London Acting upon this under
standing messages were sent last night and
early this morning to democratic MEM
bers to return Immediately in order to be
in readiness for the work tomorrow. Rep
resentative Baird said today:
Il have Just arrived m Frankfort, in re-
ply to messages informing me that the leg
islature would meet tomorrow morning in
the capitol building. ] was asked to come
to Frankfort with the least possible delay.
1t was clearly the understanding to my
knowledge that We should meet here, and
know that the democrats sending the mes
sage to me held to that belief. The state
ment of Gov. Taylor that there is no inten-
ton of abandoning the meeting at London
is great surprise to me, and 1 cannot
count for 1t in any way
Other members of the legislature ex-
pressed similar views.
Nearly all the democratic leaders are al
present out of the city. Senator Black
burn. who, it Is claimed arranged the mat
ter with the republicans, left this morning
for Louisville. The republican lieutenant
governor, John Marshall, was in Frankfort
last night, and has gone on to London. A
short session of the democratic members of
the legislature was held in the Capitol Ho-
tel this morning.

REPLY no MIR. MANNING

To the Editor of the Age Herald:
In replying to Mr.. Mannings letter in
your paper of the 4th instant, L beg to say
that | was a delegate TO the Fifth District
Convention, and can truthfully say that
Mr.. Manning is very much mistaken about
the roll of counties not being called The
vote on the adoption of the minority re-
port was settled by a call of the counties
by the secretary of the convention, who
will swear to the same. / was within four
feet of him when he called the roll. Mr..
Manning says that Thompson got the fol-
lowing vote: Autauga 8, Macon lis,
Chambers 8, Randolph 8, Coosa s. Clay ..
Mr.. Manning says these figures make
q 1-16. If he will look he will see his mis-
take. According to his own figures 1t gives
Thompson 80 1-16, which is a majority in
the district. The party is not SO badly
torn as Mr.. Manning would have you be-
lieve, and is not ready to bring in the
clean horse he speaks of. by no means.
The people of this part OF the district are
not scarey for their candidates welfare in
November. Who is Mr. Manning? Is he
not the man who led the third party as
long there any sugar in il for him,
and then boltcd that party and went to
the Republicans? If YOU are that Man
ming, what good spell has come over you
that causes YOU TO be so solicitous OF the
welfare of the grand Old Democratic party
in the Fifth district? Don't let it trouble
you any moro. ~. Ns9"'u~. for Tl1oro-
sons friends and the Democratic party of
the Fifth district will ali vote together
for Thompson for Congress. As soon as the
best Brewer men found out the facts in
the case they came over to Thompson at
once. He is getting letters from prom-
nent men every day from all over the dis
trict indorsng him and the gallant fight
he made. Yours truly
