FOR AND AGAINST THE PARDON
OF D. M. BENNETT. =
BRISTOL, Wis, July 8th, Is


TELEGRAPH, KENosHA, WIS. n
DEAR SIR:-In your paper Of last
week we read in the Cypress letter a
request to read the petition for the
pardon of D. M. Bennett, and that we
could not fail to see that he had been
unjustly dealt with. Now we age ask
ed to accept the defence Of a person
convicted of Willful violation Of law,
and to believe that he has been unjust
ly dealt with. There is not a convict
behind prison bars, but what would
put in the same plea Of injustice. 1t
would be we'll to take into considera-
ton the decisions Of the different judi
ges and juries. AS they too are Of
some account, will you please publish
the following taken from the New
York Witness, and oblige S.
/ We give the above communication a
place in the TELEGRAPH, but must de-
cine publishing the article from the
New 7 FORK Witness as asked by the
writer. The caption of the article,
Reasons Why D. M. Bennett Should
Not be Pardoned by the Pretident, gives
it's purport. Il We should admit this
we could net consistently refuse admis'
sion to an article giving Reasons Why
D. M. Bennett Should be Pardoned by
the President. And once open on both
sides there might be no end to articles
which might be furnished from Other
papers.
The Cypress writer did not write
D. M. Bennett, but L. NJ. Bennett, an(
as we did not know whom the petition
asked to have pardoned we did no
know it was Gin behalf Of d. NJ. Ben
nett. There is a difference of opinion
as to the business of the conviction
} and sentence Of D. M. Bennett. W.
are not satisfied either Of their business
: OF injustness. 70 become satisfied, i
, would be necessary to read the litera
ture held to be impure and for sending
which through the United States mai
D. NJ. Bennett was convicted and sen
fenced. The fact that a secret police
agent Of and under pay Of the United
States has succeeded in having jury
and q judge convict and sentence D
M. Bennett for circulating impure lit
erature through the United States
mail is noe satisfactory evidence Of the
business of the conviction and sentence
And until we are satisfied Of their Just
ness or injustness the TELEGRAPH
must remain neutral in behalf of D
! M. Bennett and decline publishing ar
tieles from other papers either for OF
against his pardon.

Southern Democrats have learned
something from the recent elections.
Almost As strange things have hap
pened. But the people of the North
will take no more guess work about it.
They supposed at the conclusion Of
the war that the South knew that it
was the Union army that whipped,
and that the Confederacy was not es-
tsblished. Now they are going to
know that the South knows and that
it is disposed to heed the facts of his
tory. Loyalty to one government and

THE returns ofthe elections through
out Kansas, although county officers
only were chosen, show that the Re
publican strength Is increasing with
the remarkable development of the
State. All Of the reliable Republican
counties give more than their usual
majOrities, and the number Of indie
pendent or opposition candidates elect
ed is unusually small. Notable results
are those in Douglas, Bourbon and
Lyon cOunties-Old time Republican
communities, that have for several
years past been wandering after strange
gods-which this year elect the straight
Republican tickets by handsome ma
jOrities.
