Crittenden talked as follows in reference to the rumor of negotiations now pending concerning Frank James’ pardon: In response to questions the Gov- ernor stated that he was surprised atthe mere bosh some of the papers were publishing concerning the mat- ter; that he has not offered a pardon to Frank James through Mr. Haire or anyone.else ; a pardon could not be granted before conviction and he makes no rash promises; that he ha never received a line from Mr. Haire in regard to a pardon or other torm of executive clemency in behalf of Frank James; that he has not by word or otherwise made propositions to governors of other states asking them to join him in extending execu- tive clemency to James. The gov- ernor states that Frank James has neyer applied to him for clemency or pardon ; that when he desires a pardon it is presumable he will ap- ly for it after conviction for some ofhis crimes. Then he certainly would have the same right as others to ask such clemency. When asked what course he would ursue should a pardon for Frank Misses be applied for, his excellency replied: ‘“That is my vusiness, and when such application is mgde I shail act asI please, regardless of importunities or curses, and I wish to state alsothat I think Mr. Haire, provided he is correctly reported by sensational papers, is doing much unnecessary and loose talk concern- ing the matter and pursuing an in- judicious course. The noted: bandit may have cause to pray deliverance from such a friend, and further that the words attributed to me by Haire in an interview with a reporter of a St. Louis evening paper, ‘Let us join in the noble effort to retorm this man, atid restore him to a peacetul and honorable citizenship,” were neyer used by me to Mr. Haire or any one else. But supposing I had used them—is it not better to save and re- form than to for¢ver condemn and punish? While the executive of this state, I will pursue such a course as will in my estimation secure the en- - forcement of the law, and give tull security and protection to life and property in the manner which to me seems wisest, and leave my adminis- tration to be judged by the result, tully believing that the people in their sober second thought will measure all administration more by results than by the effusions of un- merited abuse poured out upon it by animmical and venal press: will I be checked in that course by | the ravings of a t ensational edi- tors whose patriotism is alone mea ured by the number of their papers daily sold.’’ The traveling correspondent of the Sedalia Democrat, writing from Butler under date of June 1st, pays the | . following deserved compliments: For State Senator in the Bates, Cass and Henry County district, Judge Ballard, the -present Repre- sentative of Bates county, is in the field with a strong support. He is aclever gentleman and a thorough Democrat, and would make acapital officer Judge Ballard votedtor the munority report of the redistricting bill. - His opponent is Dr. J. H. Britt, of Clinton, a leading Demo- crat of Henry county. Judge Levi Moier, who has so able and creditably represented Bates county in the Missouri House of Representatives is again m the field for the same office. Bates county seems almost solid for him in every Section. He is a tried, ‘true, able, fearless, agressive and progressiye Democrat, who has but 2 equals No man enoys a better political or legis- lative record, and certainly no man has done more for Bates county. Judge Moler has large and valuable interests in the county, and his inter- ests are identical with the county. | Hence it 1s that he has scarcely any Opposition and will probavly not have any when the ticket will be nominated.

The widow of the noted outlaw, since the ‘‘removal’’ of her husband, has been so besieged by reporters and publishers that, in selt-protection, she has been compelled to pubhsha sworn statement denying that she has authorized the use ot her name ; in connection with any pretended history of her husband’s life. In this connection it may not be out of place to suggest that persons desiring to get at the facts of the lives of all the great American high- waymen would do well to examine Col. y. W.
