Pardon for imprisoned Ku-Klux.


1t has been enormously telegraphed
from here that Col. Whitley, chief of
the secret service division, in his report
to the Attorney General concerning his
visit to the imprisoned Ku.klux in the
Albany penitentiary, recommended the
pardon of eighteen and favorable con-
sideration for a number of others.
The fact is that pardons was recon-
mended in only three cases, bat a num-
ber of others were referred to as being
repentaut and their cases worthy of con
sideration. Upon the return of the
President, Attorney General Williams
will lay all the facts before him, and it
is believed that pardon will be granted
to three of the prisoners. 1t is improba-
Bile that pardon will be granted to any OF
the others at the present time.
1t is proper to say that Colonel Whit
ley's entire report was not given out to
the press, but certain statements are
held back which are damaging to the
Democratic party, but if made use of
would be met with a charge that the
examination of the Ku-klux prisoners
was solely for the purpose of getting
political material to be used in the cam
paign against Greeley State Journal

every vote of his recorded is against the
government, and in favor of Rebels,
during bis senatorical term.
Charles r. Buckalew must and shall
be defeated for governor. The Repub-
lican party owes the defeat of this man
to our common humanity; to the hun
dreds of thousands of brave men who
sacrificed life in defence Of our common
country; to the martyred, noble and pa
triotic president Lincoln; to the widows
and orphans of sylvania's fallen pa
triots; the Republican party owe the de-
feat of this Rebel sympathiser to the
generations of men for all time to come.
To elect Buckalew governor of Penn
sylvania would be to pay bonus or
Rebellion, almost if not quite equal in
crime to the election of JEFF. Davis to 0
like Office. To elect Buckalew governor
of Pennsylvania would be to drop from
memory the thousands who to day gil
premature graves, the victims of Rebel
atrocity, in the prison pens of Ander-
sonville, Libby and other places Of star
walton.
Let us then as Republicans, make
the defeat of Buckalow so signal as t,
make it historic.
But more about this creature in the
future.
