FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 1.-THE ad-
journment of the Democratic legislature
at Louisville today to meet here on Mon
day revives interest in the political con-
test, and promises to remove the misun-
Outstanding which prevailed here during
the last few days. There are more DEM
ccratic members here today than have
been at any time since they adjourned
and fled to Cincinnati, Louisville and
other places to avoid being arrested and
taken to London, where the Republican
legislature was sitting. There are few
leaders of the Democrats here tonight,
but those that are here say they will
meet here so long as there is no conflict
between them and Gov Taylor.
There is no agreement that In the alb
sence of Lieut.. Gov Marshall, the presi-
dent pro tenn. Senator Carter Dem.) shall
preside over the senate, but the return Of
the Democrats from Louisville indicates
that they regard there is no serious dam
ger Of clash over the Craftsmanship.

not copied 1t in their respective papers.
The correspondence with Miss Mueller
was referred to, and Mr.. Metcalf testified

letter to Miss Mueller, he admitted that
it was correct, but that he had never
written the words, your undying

Mr.. Metcalf then referred to another
letter written to Miss Mueller. In this
letter he had told her that some dirty
work. had been done, having reference
to the missing leaf, and that public opin-
ion had changed very favorably toward
him. In this letter he had told her about
the appointment of the commission, and
that she had better take good rest, as
