i -- - -" CARRYING THINGS WITH A HIGH HAND Governor Taylor of Kentucky Backed by a Strong Force of Military. ADJOURNS THE LEGISLATURE. The Democrats Overawed by Bayonets Goebcl Took Oath of Office as Gov crnort1is Condition Improved. Issued Orders to Military. Bt Telegraph to the Morning Star . Frankfort. Ey., January 31. Governor Taylor this morning:' d- - . i . i t : 1 H A i ... JUUroeu iuo -"K ismiure iu week ai LondoD, Ky., February 6th. Militia in the city prevented Dmiocratsof the Legislature from assembling and mem bers were threatened with arrest. Goebel has been sinking since noon and was reported djirg at 5 o'clock. There is great exeit-tneut here and all Boris of rumors are aft. at. Never was there a more complicated political situation than that which to niithtconfronts the politicians of Ken tuck?, aod never-was there one of which it seemed so difficult to form an accurate gus at the outcome. The Republican party, which two days ago was vainly striving to held its members in their seats upon the floor of the H use and which seemed almost pOwerless, is to-night in the saddle strong and vigorous Jand 'carry ing things with a high hand. The powerlessness of the Republican of two days ago is more than equalled by -the apparent helplessness of toe Pern ocrat of today. All day long the Democracy has been gropiog around trying to Bud some way in which it could seat in the gubernatorial chair its leader. ! William Goebel, who lies slowly dying of the wound inflicted by the bullet of an assassin. No matter which way the Demo crats turntd they were confronted by the same' prospect a line of. blue edged with steel and it was fully un derstood bv both parties that the line and the steel were therefor business purposes only. There was no bluff, no false alarm about it. i Soldiers Fill the Streets. All day through the streets of Frank fort soldiers marched and counter marched. Drills in the street were frequently held in order that the men might be warmed by exercise after they bad remained in the biting wind. Arouud the penitentiary was a line of troops; in the Ojera House was a guard, three companies stood at rest in the open spaco in fr int. of, the Capitol hotel, sentries patrolled every Bide of the building in which ex Governor Bradley resides, and a detachment of infantry held the coirt house against the possible coming of the member- of LhM Legislature with the intention of declaring that not the living William ,S. Taylor but the dying William Goebel was the lawful head and chief executive of the commonwealth of Kentucky. It was largely a matter of sentiment with the Democrats that led them to make such desperate efforts to crown their kiug before he died. They wanted him to leave the world a victor before the world. They fought hard for their man, but the fortuue of war was against them, and their dying leader will in all probability sink into the grave without b-ing declared Gov ernor of his Slate. He has no more chance for the glory than he has for nis iie, ana mat is little indeed. Republican Plans and Purposes. i -The .Republicans laid their plans well and tecretly. They carried them through vigorously and triumphant ly. The proclamation declaring that a state of insurrection existed in the State and warrants for the arrest of every. DemocrUic member of the Leg islature were prepared last night. It was the intention of Governor Taylor and his advisers that no meeting of the Legislature should be held to day, even though it proved necessary to arrest and detain in custody all those who persisted in holding meetings. Once adopted the policy was carried out to the letter. Compelled to retire from the Capitol building they went to the opera house; held back from the opera house they went to the court house; prevented from enter ing the court-house they went to the Capitol hotel, only to be told that any meeting they might attempt to hold in tbat building would ba suppressed, all found taking part in it would ba arrested and the hotel itself seized by the soldiers. It was a hopeless game. The Demo crats had no chance to win, and they gave it up. ! Lit-r in the day officers entered the hotel and told the Demo crats tbat no conferences must be held, and they attempted to hold none. j Will Legislature Go to London. There i3 i much doubt among the members of ' the Legislature as to whether or not they will go to London at all. Some of the Republicans left Frankfort during the day, declaring that they we e going direct to London, but no Democrat so declared himself.- The words "London, Laurel county," are not words that please Democratic ears. In fact, manv of them declar-d that their lives would not be safe after they reached the town. It is a place of about one thousand inhabits nt. sit i ated in what is known as the "feud county The inhabiUots are mostly mountaineers, and largely of a most enthusiastic type of R-pubican faith. The county is one of the greatest Re publican strongholds in the State. The people of Laurel county are intensely for Taylor, and intensely a?aint Goebel and all his works It is this latter feeling that causes the Demo cratic members of the Legislature to feel hesitaocv about venturing at the p-eseot t.me" within the confines of Laurel county or into the neighbor hood of London, when party feeling runs so high and bitter from end to end of the State. Adjutant General Collier declared to day that if they did not attend the 1 . f . k... .... legislative meeting, wnicn is railed to meet on February 6th he would arrest them individually, provided he re reived the necessary orders from Governor ' Taylor to convey them to Xjondon. fhft Dflmnnrala Vi a xra mit aalA thai. would not go to London, -but their legal advisers have counselled them that Governor Taylor had no rig tit to adj urn the Legislature from Frank fort, and it is likely tbat the matter will be tested la the courts before any cir cumstance can arise which would call for the arrest of the members. The Democrats have not, in fact, de cided what they will do. Mr. Goebel's Condition. All day the shadow of death of Mr Goebel hung over the Capitol hotel xi is Birengtn began to fail btrn Jate in the morning. The bustle and !excite mentof the morning, which despite all precautions penetrated into bis quiet room, bad a most serious effect upon him. At noon it was declared that he could not live but a short time, and at one o'clock it was said that death was upon. him. The halls and stairways were filled with - people who tat in silence expecting to hear at aoy moment that the end had come The afternoon wore away, and as evet.iug drew on he seemed to gain new strength and appeared distinctly better. He was never for a moment uncon scious and never did bis courage abate fov. an instant. He called for clergy men during the afternoon and Rev. P. F. .Taliaferro and' Prison, O-aplain Wallace were twice with him. Later a close friend residing a short distance in the country came in and remained for an Lour at his bedside. The physicians declared that there was nothing that could have kept him up so Jong but his wonderful nerve and will power. They gave absolutely no hope and said that death at the far thest could not be farther away than a few hours. Frankfort was quiet in toe extreme oday. There ws excitement suffi cient f Or anybody, but not the slight est B'gu of disorder. Many of the sa loons were closed aid the cold kept many people olf the streets. Goebel and Beckham Sworn In. Frankfort. Kt., January 31. Wm. Goebel was shortly before nine o'clock to nightswbrn in as Governor of Ken tucky, and J. C. W. Beckham, a tew minutes later took the oath of L euten ant Governor. The oath was admin istered to both men by Chief Justice Hazelrigg Of the Court of Appeals. The plan to make Goebel Governor was made early in the afternoon. A statement was prepared saying that the boards which bad heard the contests for Governor and Lieutenant Gover nor had dtcided in favorof Goebel and Beckham and that the boards intended, to report their findings to the Legis lature, but that they bad been pre vented from so doing by the action of Governor Taylor in declaring the Leg islature adjourned. The statement then eroes on to say tbat the members of the Legislature were driven from place to place by the militia and threatened with arrest whenever they attempted to hold a meeting. It was declared the belief of alt tne signers of the statement that Goebel and B-ckbam were the legally elected Governor and Lieutenant Governor, and each man, as' he signed the paper, announced that be voted for .the adoption of the majority report of the contest boards, which declared Goebel and Beckham to be the men rightfully entitled to the office. The statement is signed by a majority of the members of both houses. , . Goebel Issnes Orders. Mr. Goebel. as soon as be was as sured that he was legally Governor of Kentucky, took prompt action regard ing the military arm of the service.1 Two orders were quickly prepared, for nis signature, the nrst of which dis charged Adjutant General Daniel Copier from nffise. and appointed General John B Castleman, of Louis ville, as his successor. The second was direct-d to the commanders of the militia now stationed in this city di recting them to return to their homes. Word was at once telegraphed t Gen eral Caslleman of his appointment and he is expected in the city tvmo'- row. There is a p ssibility of trouble in the matter of the control of the State troops. The regiments of the gurd hitve lately been reorganized and for the rrotparl made up of Re publicans and the personal followers of Governor Taylor. General UoHier refused positively to say anythmg regarding h's possible nue or action, tie woull not say. however, that he had any intention of giving u p his post at the order of Gdv ernor Goebel. Seventy -six members of the House and Senate signed the statement, which included some strong criticism of the action of Governor Taylor in adjourn ing tne.. legislature and preventing it from meeting by the use of the militia ine Mouse and Senate will make another t ff ort to meet to-morrow, but the Democratic members say they do not expect any trouble. If they are prevented from entering the ball they win meet somewhere else. They say that no violence will be offered to anybody, even though the mem bers of the legislature are satisfied that the troops are acting illegally. , It was announced by members of the militia to night tbat of the soldiers now under arms here about 800 would obey the orders of Governor Goebel. It is not expected tbat they will attack their comrades, but they will refuse to obey the orders of Governor Tylor and take their chaaces of a court mar tial. Gov. Goebel's Condition Improved. Frankfort, Ky., January 31 The condition of Governor Goebel at 11 30 to-night was better than at any time during the day. He was resting com fortably, no unfavorable symptoms had appeared, and it was announced tbat be would unquestionably get through the night in good shape. 4 DEATH OP MRS. DUDLEY.

Commands the Militia to Return to Their Homes AH Other Persons to Desist from Unlawful Practices. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Frankfort, Ky., January 31. The following proclamation was issued to night by Governor Goebel : Whereas, it has been made known to me that certain persons without authority of law have banded them selves together for the unlawful pur pose of forcibly preventing the General Assembly of Kentucky from assembling and ' discharging; their official duties at the seat of govern ment, and have for said unlawful pur pose assembled in the city of Frank fort the First and Second regi ments of the Kentucky State guard, and by force of arms have unlawfully taken possession of the hall of the House of Representatives and the Senate chamber of the State of Kentucky as well as other public buildings and archives of the common wealth, and have by force, intimida tion and violence expelled the Gen eral Assembly from the capitol build ings and refused to permit the Senate and House of Representatives to hold their sessions therein, and are now terrorizing the representatives of the people and other good citizens of the commonwealth. Now, therefore, I, William Goebel, Governor of the commonwealth of Kentucky, do hereby command the said First and Second regiments of the Kentucky State Guard, and each and every officer and member thereof, to return to . their homes and several avocations and there remain until lawfully called into active service. I also command all other persons, whatsoever, who are now unlawfully engaged in interfering with and intimi dating members of the General Assem bly of this Commonwealth, to disband and desist from terrorizing and intimi dating the said members of the General Assembly and all other good citizens of this Commonwealth.
