THE USUAL DIFFERENCE.

As usual in a political campaign
the republicans are on the rostrum,
telling what they have done, and the
democrats what they expect to do.
The republicans are standing pat on
the record OF the state administration
and are carrying the Gooding banner
to the front and promising the contin-
uation of good government, economic
administration, and the preservation
Of law and order.
The republican party says to the
voter, Here is what we have dope,
and it is earnest of what we will do
II continued In the administration Of
the state government" The demo-
cratic party is raising an issue on
what it might do II permitted to
try, and raising an extraneous issue
to call attention from the real issues
Of the campaign.
The republicans are saying that the
common schools have been cared for.
the funds are well invested and the
lands not sold or under the lease to
persons who are compelled to pay
rentals. The public institutions have
made marked advance, and the cost
of their maintenance kept well within
the appropriations. The state has
been well advertised by it's publicity
bureau and the material welfare of
the whole people carefully guarded.
This is the present condition and
the people are asked 10 continue it
under whose direction the results
have been obtained

Especial to The Times-Dispatch.)
RALEIGH, N. c., March 3D. Governor
Glenn to- day formally refused a pardon to
"a. Z. Bishop, serving five years from
Mecklcnburg county for killing Thomas
Wilson. while he was calling OH Wilson'S
daughter. Bishops case was one OF the
most noted criminal proceedings that
ever occurred in this State.
Concerning Bishops application and
his refusal to grant the pardon. the Cow
ernor says:
'rl,es defendant was convicted Mt the
February term. 1903, Of manslaughter
and sentenced to five years in the peni-8
Tertiary. The evidence disclosed that
the prisoner represented himself as
single man and went to the home of
Thomas Wilson. in company with n wo-s
man, and was there drinking and talking
to the daughter OF Wilson and his COM
panions when the prisoner was ordered
by Wilson to leave: a difficulty took
place, and the prisoner killed Wilson, al
lcging he did SO In self-defense.
Wilson had great provocation for as
saulting the prisoner. even II he did,
and. In myjudg1nent, tho prisoner ought
to have submitted to almost anything be-
FORE he took tho life OF his assailant.
The jury convicted him OF manslnughter,
and. In my Judgment. i've years in the
spenitentinry was very mild sentence.
and the prisoner may be very thankful
that he was sentenced by an exceedingly
fmerciful judge
~ see no merit in his case for, while
feeling deeply for his poor wife and
mother and his little child. the prisoner
himself did not consider them when
passing himself of as a single man,
and. under the circumstances, cannot
see my way clear to grant the petition.
The application Is therefore refused"
