Periodically the assassination OF
Governor Goebel of Kentucky returned
to plague the house Of representatives.
AS everybody probably remembers
Governor Taylor of Kentucky went to
Indiana when charge was made
against him of completely in the Goe-
bel killing. The kentucky officials
tried to secure Taylor's return so
that he might be placed on trial, but
the Indiana governors always refused
to sign the Kentucky requisition
One day there was veritable storm
in the house of representatives over
the matter of the refusal of the Hoos-
Ter executive to honor a requisition
for Taylor. Lightning flashed back
and forth across the aisle which di-
vides Democracy from Republicanism.
The bolts were hurled by Kentuckians
and by Indianians. John Sharp Will
liams of Mississippi, the Democratic
leader, doubtless intended to keep out
Of the storm. but it surrounded him
and beat upon his head until he felt
forced to add his own voice to the
din
The Hoosier Republicans had told
the Kentucky Democrats that if Tay-
lor were given up to trial conviction
would come irrespective of his guilt or
innocence They said that with the
feeling running high there was no
chance for impartiality in judge or
jury. They intimated that If Taylor
was innocent that to give him up to
the Kentucky authorities meant Civ
ing him up to be murdered.
From the words of the Indianians
the KentuclSians drew the inference
that their state was charged with be-
ing the seat of injustice They refused
utterly to cont1ne the charges and the
insinuations of the Hoosiers to the one
case in hand, and they let 1t appear in
their answers that they held that Ken
lucky and the Kentuckians were be-
ing accused of all the offenses known
to the laws of civilization.
Mr.. Williams told the Indianians
that no matter how impudently they
mightSassume superiority they were
no better than the people to the south
of the Ohio. He said to the Hoosiers:
There has been too much Of this ar
rogant assumption of superiority on
your side of the Ohio river and of in
feriority on the other. In the forum.
on the battlefield. on the bench and in
literature kentuckians always have
been your equals If not your super
iors"
The fact that the Democratic leader
did not claim superiority for the
southerner over the northerner, but
was content even in the heat of argu-
ment. when something else might
have been expected. to lay claim
merely to an equality of ability. was
the means of quieting matters, and
the row over the Taylor requisition af-
fair quieted down.
After it was over New York men,
Der went to an Indianian and asked
him why 1t was that when Mr. Will
liams intimated that Kentucky was
the peer of Indiana in literature the
Hoosier did not fire at him cata-
logue of the recent Indiana output in
literature. The New Yorker told his
Indiana friend that if he had done
this he could have f1oored all the Ken
tuckians, and with them the NIissis-
sippi leader. with the quantity of the
ammunition, even though in part its
quality might be bit below par.
