of withholding from the newspapers any
information as to the exercise of rexecu-

and sufficient reason for it. The public
is interested-vitally interested-and
the people have a right 30 know, of the
fact when the Governor pardons a Grim

his reasons. therefor. When Governor
Russell took Office he announced that
he would give the facts to the newspa-

power But this early, it is, learned
from the Raleigh News and Observer,
he has abandoned the practice Gov
