visions whatever for counting. 1t is
generally conceded, however, if the
if the governor should fully submit to
the demands of the general govern
ment for the release of the prisoners
on th ground that they are political
prisoners, and not really murderer,
such action would 60 far in allaying
the bad blood engendered during the
