WH1rE1Y,s CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT.
The Northern Papers Discovering the
Bogus Nature of Whttely's Mission &c
the Albany Penitentiary.

WASHINGTON, August IA.
Colonel" Whitley, who was sent to Albany
on mission OF mercy, Is the man who worked
up the Adkins murder at Columbus, Ca,
some years ago. The papers comment severe
ly upon such selection for such q purpose.
The Baltimore American says his report Is
no doubt truthful, but the partisan press OF the
country will not 30 recognize 1t. 1t is to be
regretted that the President did not name a
commission composed OF three honorable gen.
tlemen, in whom the people OF the United
States have entire confidence. One OF the
commissioners should have been Democrat,
another Republican, and the third 'sLibe..
raj" Republican. They should have quietly
proceeded to Albany with photographer and
examined each prisoner, separately first, Just
as Colonel Whitley did, and from their answers
to the questions propounded the report
should have been framed.
Tie Baltimore Gazette says the report Is
evidently gotten up as political document
for campaign uses. The statements obtained
from those unfortunate prisoners In the none
of obtaining release are as utterly worthless
and unrellab' es those put forward upon his
own respont )llily by person of Wnitely's
well known and dlsreputable character.
