In a statement to the Louisville CONNER
cal last night Governor Taylor reviewed
the facts regarding the election and his

pardoHs of Powers and Davis, he contin-
ued:
Pending this unfortunate struggle Mr.
VII lam GoebeI, the contestant for tho
office of governor, was assassinated bv
some person whose identity is unknown
Thereupon a conspiracy was formed to
fastep this heiHous crime upon all or some
of the state officers elected by the people
the purpose being TO obscure and cover the
political robbery and to terrorize and de-
strOy all opposition. In order TO carry out
this foul conspiracy they procured an act
apprOpriatlng Sl0D,DO. ostenSibly for the
purpose of detecting the criminals. and
have employed a lawyer whose course In
the criminal practice in Cincinnati was so
odlous as TO cause a riot, resulting in the
destruction of the court house and the loss
of over forty lives.
Following this employee OF the Gin
cinnau Enquirer has made affidavits
charging that Caleb Powers, secretary OF
state: his brother. John Powers a cap

1t has been known in vague way for
several weeks that some serious peril was

Hls hhcant is the series of extraordinary

II Is apparently the deliberate purpose of
these declarations to put Great Britain in
the attitude of the aggressor. This policy
seems to suggest that the war party in

for the quarrel.
Affairs on the other side of the channel
are entirely different. One of those ma

LOTS CAST TO KILL GOEBEL.
detectives Cnenrth n Startling story
Concerning the Crime.

A dispatch from Frankfort, Ky, yester.
day says: a letter received by States At
torney Robert B. Franklin says that Brans-
field Bertram, sheriff of Breckenridge coun-
ty, who recently died of pneumonia re-
vealed on his deathbed a plot of which he
had knowledge to murder William Goebel.
According to the story. twenty-five men
drew lots to determine who should do the
killing. Twenty-Five beans twenty-four
white and one black, We're placed in a box
and each of the twenty-five men drew a
beam. The man getting the black bean
agreed beforehand to kill the democratic
aspirant for governor.
The plot was revealed, it is said, and sew
eral persons warned Goebel that he would
be Killed If he exposed himself in public
The warnings were not needed. Detectives
it is said, have been working on the clue
given by the letter, but 1t is not known
whether they have succeeded in securing
definite evidence.
The first move ON the part of J. w. G.
Beckhanl's followers toward the formation
of state guard under his administration
was taken today
Col. David r. Murray of Clover Point has
been appointed by Beckham assistant ad-
jutant general. with the rank of colonel
and he was sworn In.
Harlan Whitaker and w. II. Culton, who
were confined in Jail here charged with
completely in the assassination of Goebel
were removed from the Jail at an early
hour this morning and taken in a hack to
Sheibyvilla, where they were placed on a
train and sent to Louisville under heavy
guard. 1t is understood they will be kept
in the Louisville Jail till the April term of
the circuit court, when they will be re-
turned here for trial.
Soldiers for GOebeI,
The first move on the part of Backham's
followers toward the formation of a state
guard under his administration was taken
here today City Clerk Ben Marshall cir
number of men who are to compose a new
company. The guns for this company have
been provided by citizens here, most of
them being either needle guns or Winches-
ters.
This afternoon report gained currency
that Gov. Taylor had given his soldiers or
ders to arrest Beckham and other officers
of the democratic state government On
account of this report thu men enlisted by
Capt Marshall We're assembled at the city
hall, armed and sworn in as special police
for the purpose of protecting the demo-
cratic officers. who are still quartered at

zens also volunteered. and were assigned to
various posts in the vicinity of the hotel to
offer resistance in case the talkcd-of ar

running from $40 to $40. A game must he
played with each competitor, but the player
need not have more than four games going
at any one time. The limitation on the
number of players will make a select affair
of it. easily managed and productive of
good games, but will not do the same good
to the general cause as an open competition
among the present members and those
who would come in, while the rule of one
game against each competitor will make
it a very long-winded affair. two years at
the very shortest.
