Repub lican witnesses Todd swore that at the time he issued pardons un der Taylors directions to Caleb Powers and John Davis when the- were Y ready to flee he also issued pardons to W H Culton Chas Finley and Harland Whitaker He also gave very damaging tes timony against Youtsey as the arch conspirator of this terrible crime and fully established the fact that the assassin fired from the office

the Executive Building From the testimony of Golden Culton Valter Day Todd and many other Republicans No sane man how ever blinded by political prejudice can deny but that a preconcerted plot to take the life of Gov Goeb has been completely established and that by the evidence of Republicans themselves The telegrams printed on the first page shows be yond doubt the preparations to do what way done The friends of Hon James B McCreary are urging him to become a candidate for Governor this fall He filled the executive chair so able from 1876 to 1880 that he won the merited title of the Model Governor However we s ermi that he will decline the honor Gov Beckham will be the nominee McCreary has ever been the free of the people laboring in season and out of season for their benefit He has ever been their strong and able champion and at the coming state convention we expect to see him sent as delegate from the state atlarge to the Kansas City con vention He deserves it and no doubt will
