pardon the men If he is elected
Governor. This is the same ques.
tion that has been asked of every
Republican candidate for Governor
since Goebel was assassinated, and
it is the assertion of the Democrats
that each man has evaded the ques-
tion. and Just how Mr.. Wilson will
respond to it. If at all, is just now
the subject of much discussion
among the voters of both parties.
While Mr.. Wilson has been out
on his campaign through the noun
tains for the last two weeks and
has not yet heard that the Goebel
murder will again be the burning
question of the campaign, it has
been learned from his friends in
this city that his answer and the
answers of the other candidates on
the ticket with him will be to guar
antee fair trial to Powers and
Taylor in the event the Republican
ticket is elected in November.
1t is the contention of the Repub-
licans that, although Caleb Powers
has been tried three times and
thrice convicted, he was tried be-
fore partisan judges and packed
iuries, and that because OF this his
sentence was three times reversed
by Democratic Court of Appeals,
TAYLOR BREAKS SILENCE.
The long silence maintained by
w. S. Taylor since he became
fugitive from justice seven years
ago, and which was broken for the
first time by him at his Indiana re-
treat last week, has given the Re.
publicans renewed hope, and, while
it is the assertion of the Democrats
that Taylor's letter was written for
purposes, and that he had
no idea Of complying with its con-
tents, even though his every offer
was accepted, it is said by those
formerly close to the fugitive Gov
srnor that his lite has been hard
one during his exile from his own
lome State, and that his appeal for

TAYLOR TO TRIAL.
Kentucky Governor Offers to Pace
Accusers- Goebel Murder.

Louisville, Ky, Aug. 81. The
assassination Of William Goebel,
which has been the issue IN every
campaign since his death, nearly
eight years ago, will play the same
important part during the coming
campaign between the Republican
and Democratic parties it has played
in the past.
1t is contended by many of the
rank and file in both parties that
the issue is dead one, and that
both parties should seek more i'm
portaut matters on which to base
their respective claims to Office, and
Senator w. II. Cox, the Republican
candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
said in his opening speech at Mays
vile two weeks ago that both the
Goebel murder and the Breathitt
County assassinations, laid at the
door of Judge Hargis, the Demo
cratic leader of the mountains,
should be left entirely out of the
campaign, Notwithstanding the fact
that it was conceded that the Re-
publicans would be able to poll
thousands of independent votes be-
cause of the Breathitt County feud.
That the Democrats, however,
expect to rely upon the murder of
Goebel at this time was thoroughly
demonstrated during last week in
the literature sent out to the voters
of the State from the campaign
headquarters in this city, and 1t
will be one of the chief themes of
Judge 5. W. Hager, the Democratic
candidate for Governor.
1t Is the question regarding the
attitude of Augustus e. Wilson,
the Republican candidate, toward
w. S. Taylor, Caleb Powers, Jim
Howard, Henry e. Youtsey and
others charged with procuring the
death Of Goebel.

ACCIDENTAL KILLING.
A Good Citizen Meets Sudden Visi-
tation at Cloverdale.

Monroe Sanders, almost blind and
at one time a patient of Dir. T. D,
Edwards of this city, dies from gum
shot wound at Cloverdale. Mr..
Sanders had been to Cloverdale
school and was bringing his little
daughter home in buggy. The
accident occurred last Friday, Au-
gust 30. A party incluc ing Ed.
Petty, Leland Nokes, Tan Mccoy
and his brother, Willie Mccoy, had
started to Reelfoot Lake. AT For
rest Hill, the residence of John Will
Thompson, the party stopped to get
some water. The water secured
and bottle filled to meet future
requirements, the party began to
get into the wagon. Willie Mccoy
picked up the gun which had been
left close to the we'll and was the
last one to get up on the wagon.
He had just about got seated on
the straw, dropping the gun in his
lap, when the discharge occurred.
The gun was a double-barrel ham
merless, and Mccoy knew that it
was not safe, but he forgot to ex-
tract the shells. Just as young Nc
Coy dropped the gun in his lap it
fred and struck Monroe Sanders,
who was passing by in a buggy
with his daughter. Sanders drove
around to the left of the wagon and
the load from the gun entered his
neck just over the head of his
daughter. Sanders fell from the
buggy and expired in few min
utes without saying a word. The
jugular vein was severed and death |
came without warning. 1t was a
sad accident.
Mr.. Sanders was good citizen,
by all his ne;ghbors. The
loss is a great calamity to the fam

POWERS DErERMINED FIGHT

POWERS DETERMINED FIGHT
Eight years ago Taylor, Powers,
Youtsey and Chas. L. Finley were
engaged in the hottest political
campaign ever waged between the
Democrats and Republicans in the
State for supremacy.
When the polls closed on the
night of the election in November,
1899, victory was proclaimed by
them by majority of several thou
sand votes, and few days later
they were declared elected by the
State Election Commission.
This decision was taken as final
by Senator Goebel aud the other
Democratic opponents, and on Jam
uary l, 1900, Taylor, Powers and
their associates received the cert,fi-
Gates of Office to which they were
elected. and took up the reins of
Government at Frankfort.
This was followed by the mem
orable contest waged before the
Legislature by the Democrats,
which came to climax on the
morning of January 80, when Sem
ator Goebel was shot from the win
dow of the office of Secretary of
State, as he was OH his way to the
capitol.
This shooting resulted in close
of the contest and Goebel was de-
clared the rightful Governor by the
Legislative Committee three days
later, and took the oath Of Office
just a few minutes before he
breathed his last.
His death resulted in ]. c. w.
Beckham being declared the Gov
ernor. and when he leaves the Office
the first of next January, he will

fair trial was made from the bot
tom of his heart and without any
thought that it would in any way
benefit the Republican party.
1t is said that the plight of Caleb
Powers and his pleadings for JUS
tiee have touched the heart OF the
man beside whom Powers fought
for supremacy with the Democrats
IN the fall of 1890 and during the
memorable contest which followed,
and that Taylor has resolved to
have Powers fight for life part
of his own and to that end volun-
teered to return to Kentucky and
testify on the next trial and then
surrender himself, and that this
conclusion on his part was reached
without consulting with any person
in Kentucky directly or indirectly
interested in the success of the Re-
publican ticket in the November
election,
Strange, indeed, is the story of a
former Governor of the State being
an exile from the State in which he
was elected Governor, nc that
after seven years of exile he has
determined to return to his former
home and face the consequences of
trial on the charge OF having con-
spired to take the lite of the man
who contested the office with him,
and who was subsequently given
the certificate of election and sworn
in as Governor while he lay on his
death bed from bullet fred by the
hand of a hidden assassin.
1t is known here that for years
Taylor thought of addressing an
open letter to the Governor of Ken
tucky, outlining a proposition on
which he was willing to return to
his native State and stand trial,
but it was not until the matter was
first broached by Common wealth's
Attorney X. B. Franklin that he
broke his long silence.
Taylor contends in his letter that
neither the Commonwealth Attor-
ney nor the Governor can guarantee
him immunity from arrest, and this
view is taken by leading lawyers in
both the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties of the State, and in
order to test their sincerity in the
matter, Taylor goes further, and
not only agrees to come to Ken
lucky and testify for Powers, but
also to stand trial himself under
certain conditions.
WHAT TAYLOR DEMANDS.
He asks that he be allowed to
give bail in any amount up to $780,
700; that the remainder of the $780,
200 corruption fund" set aside by
The Legislature "to convict the men
guilty of the snurder of Goebel "be
-eturned to the State Treasury,
ind last, that all indictments now
pending against the principal Com
nonwealth witnesses be fled away
n order that 1.-The indictments can
lot be held over them and cause
hem to perJure themselves as they
lid in the trials of Powers, Howard
ind Youtsey."
While this last proposition is one
which Taylor declares must be
rranted before he will consent to
eturn to Kentucky, the question
# his being allowed bail is the one
most earnestly desired by him.
He says he will not be thrown in
all and made to remain there for
'eriod OF indefinite length, as was
lis former Secretary of State. while j
he Democrats give him a trial at
heir leisure.

Just whatthe position of the Governor is can not be determined at this time, from the fact that he will not discuss the matter with any one. But it is said that he has been advised that his appoint ment should stand, and that he should not involve the state in an- other election at this time, when the man he will select will be pleasing to the majority of the people of the state. It is pointed ont that the constitutional provi- sions covering the calling special election for supreme court jus tice, or for any other office, is directory, and not mandatory.
