1t was truly gratifying to find out last
Saturday morning how many people knew"
that Gov. Pingree had nothing to do with a
pardon for S NJ. Waite. The PLmuix also
knew" it we knew" II the night before
and the day before We knew" il all the time
we were writing our article disclosing the
movement for a pardon but there was scant
time to tell all we knew" while the press
and half the edition waited, and so we left
one or two things for people to find out who
had leisure for more minute research. The
essential point is that The PLunix got the
news! The rest OF it the President, the Gov.
ornor, and our neighbors, can settle to suit
themselves.
