Democratic Action Not Certain.
Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 12. All day
Saturday troops poured out of Frank
fort on special trains, and last night
only the soldiers from Covington,
Newport, Lexington and Morgantown
were camped in the Capitol square.
The leaving of the troops was the only
feature that transpired in the politi
cal situation in Frankfort. This evac
uation by the military was the result
of the first decision of Gov. Taylor to
leave all matters in dispute to the
courts, .which determination was an
nounced by the governor in a procla
mation he issued Saturday night, and
according to his oral statement at the
time of its issuance embodies all he de
sires to say concerning hi position at
the present time.
Text of the Proclamation.
Following is the text of the procla
mation: "I have only this to say:
After mature deliberation and con
ference with my friends from every
section of the stte, I have concluded
to allow this controversy to take its
due course, vigorously contesting
every inch of ground and upholding
the rights of the people to the utter
most. If those rights be destroyed,
the responsibiliy for hat destruction
must rest with those who sit in judg
ment. It Is due to say that the emi
nent gentlemen, my friends, who se
cured the propositionsr esnltiug from
the Louisville conference acted in per
fect good faith, from the hljrhest mo
tives of patriotism, and id the very
best they could.
Louisville Agreement Not Signed.
The decision not to sign the Louis
ville agreement was reached by Gov,
Taylor a few minutes after one o'clock
Saturdy afternoon. For over two
hours he had been inconference with
fully one hundred and fifty prominent
Republicans from all parts of the
state, including county committee
men, and four Republican members of
the legislature. The meeting was sec
ret in the extreme. Gov. Taylor
stated to the conference that there
were two courses to be pursued first,
to sign the Louisville agreement; sec
ond. to quietly withdraw the troops.
allow the legislature to re-convene in
the capitol building in Frankfort, to
call off the session now being held In
London, and to ignore the Louisville
agreement entirely.
Second Course Is Adopted.
Several speeches were made and it
was soon apparent that the snetinient
of the gathering was very strongly in
favor of the second coures. and this
was adopted. This action was decid
ed upon at one o'clock, and the first
information of the decision was given
to the outside world by Gov. Taylor
himself. He came rapidly through
tue doors, unattended, walked hastily
toward the capitol stairway, repeat
lang several times to the newspaper
men who stood in the hall: "I don't
sign." From the capitol he passed to
the executive building, where he at
once made tip and signed a proclama
tion reconvening the legislature in
Frankfort. A dispatch froni London
says the Republican legislators will
be generally present here today. What
the Democrats who are meeting at
Louisville will do Is not known, but
they are expected to get here by the
enu of the week.
AOREEMFST THAT WASN'T SIGNED,
Text of the Document Ciov. Taylor De
cided to Ignore.
Louisville, Ky., Feb. 12. Senator
Blackburn has made public the agree
ment signed last Monday by seven Re
publicans and seven Democrats repre
senting Governors laylor and Beck
ham for a settlement of the disturbed
political condition in this state. It was
accompanied by a statement the most
important part of which was that the
reason Governor Taylor refused to
sign was that too much pressure was
brought against signing it by his Re
publican friends, which fact Governor
Taylor disclosed to Blackburn over the
long-distance telephone.
Following is the text of the agree
ment:
"J. That should a resolution be
passed by the general assembly dur
ing its present session in joint session
of the two houses declaring that the
action heretofore taken by the general
assembly did invest William Goebel
with the title to the office of Governor
of this commonwealth on the 2nd day
of February, 1900, and did invest J. C.
W. Beckham with the title to the of
fice of lieutenant overnor of this com
monwealth as of said date, the con
testees, William S. Taylor and John
Marshall, shall not dispute the said
titles respectively.
"2. That should the general assem
bly pass the resolution stated in the
foregoing paragraph. Immunity shall
be extended to all persons from all ac
cusations growing out of political acts
done pending the contests for the of
fices of governor and lieutenant gover
nor.
"3. That all legislative action by
the present general assembly shall be
postponed until Monday, Feb. 12, 1000,
except only such steps as may be nec
essary under the constitiution to make
lawful adjournments.
"4. That the board of state election
commissioners, sitting as a board of
contest, shall postpone all of its pro
ceedings until Tuesday, Feb. 13, 1900,
or until such later date as it may de
termine: Provided, it may in the mean
time meet and adjourn If it shall deter
mine that such meetiugs are necessary
or expedient.
"5. That it is earnestly recom

Sluerauoii nuu ufimumicnoa ox au
pending and undetermined contests for
theonlces of representatives and sen
ators, all partisan considerations shall
be eliminated as far as may be; but
this provision shall not be regarded
as anything more than a recommenda
tion. "6. That the present general assem
bly shall provide an absolutely fair and
non-partisan election law which shall
secure to the voter the fullest measure
of protection, to the end that he shall
have the fullest liberty to caset his
vote without let or hindrance and have
It counted as cast, and shall secure to
the officers of election the fullest pro

"7. That as soon as possible from
this date the state militia now on

be withdrawn, and sent to their homes,
due regard being had for the preserva

(Observance of the Sabbath.)
"If it were of any use," a gentleman
remarked recently, "I would like to
make an appeal for the keeping of
Saturday evening as a means of pre
paring for the best keeping of the San

call, some of our fathers and mothers
began the Sabbath on Saturday at sun
down and as carefully kept the even

1 And who can suitably estimate the in
j flue nee of that quiet and serious prep
aration for the hours of worship to fol
low? And they often did more than
this, for they were often busy toward
the end of the week in making ready
for the sacred day, so that when it
came things should be in order so as to
cause the very least work and worry.
' and to leave the mind free for the
entertainment of the proper interests
of the day.
"And even among those who did not
keep Saturday evening as a part of the
Sabbath, it was made a time of m ik

so that the morning of the Stbbath
might find them fitted for the day, and
