well-known writer. In letter to
Secretary Tumulty. Mrs. Russell said:

hated and dreaded war; even as you
say the President hated and dreaded
IL. to the extent that he stopped short
not even of martyrdom to do every
thing in his power to prevent II.
1.-THE President has the power to
pardon Salmon. I can think of no
greater act of grace with which to
crown his years OF public service than
the pardoning of all the political of
tenders still confined. - But in the
case OF Benjamin Salmon at least l
am moved to urge his immediate
action"
