are confused every few minute by ecn

If It were Hot for tlic possibility of tlio
tragic conclusloru the situation would
be humorous In many recFC s Tho
democrats still Mng the song ot law and
order and swear out loud that thsre will
bo nothing but peace and at the saiua
tlmo whisper In your car that they art
going to hang Taylor The republicans
say they arc willing to obey the law
that they are obeylrg tho law and lion
swear that Taylor shall remain 3veruor

The democratic members of he leg s
lature were scattered this morning like
a covey of quail but telegrams brought
enoegh of them here to hold thj sem-
blance of a meeting In the CspIol hotel
The mjcting was merely formal The
Journal was read and tha ammbly ad

In the State bouic They will cot try
to do fo until matters here toi ssrnc

that Taylor had called off tha mecrlus

tbp republicans say he has nat done jvj
and wljl not That the legislature will
Continue to meet there ur II the oxrlril

1s about tweutyrivo days more as was
cutllncd in thp flrst special dlfpatib Iron

It is understood that the democratic
here
claim the rlgbt under the constitution of
adjourning the legislature as did Taylor
will exercile tho prerogative of tbe
executive and call an extra session at once
to meet In Louisville In tbe meantime
General Castleman who has been ap
