The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1908-04-24


II cautions us to quote only what
1t says. To refresh the memory of
those who may have forgotten the
Herald's unholy war on Republicans
embracing the assassination of Goe-
bel and trials following we quote fey
paragraphs only of what 1t has said.
AS Secretary of State and Taylor's
trusted lieutenant he (Powers) must
have known much of the plot and plan
to kill Goebel.-IHerald September 70,
1901 Powers accused of knowledge
of murder by fair toter,"
II we were as guilty of completely
in political murder as we are confident
he (Tayior) is we would use every ar
tifice to escape the clutches of the law.
Herald, September 2, 190Sl. Fair
toter" unequivocally declares Taylor
guilty.
There has never been moment
since William Goebel fell victim TO
the assassin's bullet that it has not

person that there were many members
of the Republican party in Kentucky
who knew almost to the hour when
Mr.. Goebel would be shot. This was
apparent from several incidents not
the least among, which was the arri-
val of several Ohio county Republican
from Frankfort the night before the
assassination.-[ October IA,
1901. Ohio county Republicans are
implicitly accused by fair toter" of
conspiracy to assassinate Goebel.
No reasonable person can deny that
the murder of William Goebel is char
gable in the main TO the Republican
party of Kentucky. It's leaders, who
hold the commission of their constitu-
ency devised and engineered the muir
derous plans which were carried into
execution.-IHerald, October 2S, 190Sl
All Republicans again accused by fair
toter"
Sentiment seems to be growing in
Kentucky that the sentence of Caleb
Powers, convicted of completely in the
Goebel murder, be commuted by Gov.
Beckham to life Imprisonment. The
Democratic advocates of this interces-
sion do not claim to believe that Pow
ers in innocent in any sense but they
think it would be an injustice to
hang him while others evidently more
guilty than he are still at large and
punished.-IHerald, December 3
1901 Taylor again declared guilty by
this fair toter."
One of the most disgreceful Incl
dents of political degeneraey was
the act of portion of Kentucky Repub-
lican delegation at Chicago in march
ing 10 the Indiana headquarters and
thanking Gov. Durbin for " refus-
ing to surrender, w. S. Taylor TO the
Kentucky authorilies.-IHeIald, June
20. 1901 Every act of kindness shown
Taylor or Powers is condemned by 'fai
toter."
All the evidence goes to prove that
Caleb Powers was the presiding gen.
Jus of the diabolical plot.-IHerald, De-
cember IA, 1901 Again Powers is de-
clared guilty by the fair toter."
Powers wants Taylor pardoned before
the latter essays 10 cross over into
Kentucky. Ito testify in Powers last
trial. If Taylor is in no wise guilty
why should he need a pardon?-Why
should he fear conviction.-IHerald,
August q 1907 Fair toter"
seems fairly to dream i'll of Taylor and
Powers.
After seven years silence on this
especial point Caleb Powers memory
has at last come to him-so he says.
He now says he has lat last discov-
cred" and is now able TO point out
the man who killed Goebel." Strange
this fact should have been hid
den so long and that Powers should
not have been able to discover 1t soon
er. Strange indeed There will
be icicles on the sun reaching to the
earth before w. S. Taylor returns TO
Kentucky under any provision.
Herald, September 4, 1907 Pow
ers and Taylor both again given the lie
by the fair toter."
He (GoebelD was assassinated by or
on behalf of some or one of the Re-
publican agitators at Frankfort at the
time.-IHerald, October 20, 1901 Fair
toter continues to see in its dreams
Republican assassins
Let us hope that the oath he Gov.
WILSON, took to uphold the dignity,
peace and law abiding spirit of our
Sstate will be fulfilled in untiring eff
forts TO apprehend and punish the
monsters who SO wantonly defiled
that memorable spot Pavement in
front of State House, .-lHerald, De-
cember Is, 1901 Governor Wilson
to please fair toter," must devote
his whole time TO apprehending Goe-
bells assassin.
