current needs In their Individual homes,
was nevertheless sentenced to a term four
times as great ns that Imposed upon
Mother.
"Mr. Hartley wns convicted and sent to
prlton June 21, 1S97. On tho statutory com
putation, which provides for an allowance
of n certain period of good time for each
year, Mr. Uortley lins already served ap
proximately n six years' term In prison.
Scekn i:tcuiiiitliiK ('IriMitiinOiner.
"Tho question to bo considered In (hid
enso Is, therefore, 'Does this extreme pun
ishment fit tho crime, 'or wero there In tho
nttcndlng circumstance or results clement
which could be urged In extenuation?' Along
with the Influence he exercised In flnostrlal
nifslrs must bo considered his conduct Im
mediately following his retirement from
otllce. Ho was not prepared to settle nt
once with his successor, but promised to
dd so as fast as possible, nnd In earnest
of that promise repaid h February 10, the
dato of his arrest, over $153,000 of nt short
age, J20.000 of which wns paid on tho verv
dny of his arrest. Ho turned .over to his
successor $1,200,000. Had Mr. Hartley In
tended to purchase wealth by a term In
prlsbh ho could have taken every dollar la
tho treasury nnd disposed of hundreds of
thousands of dollar of securities, turned
over nothing to his successor, and yet the
court could only havo sentenced him for
one yenr more than the sentence It Imposed
upon him for tho amount ho had taken.
"Tho offort Of Mr. Hartley to moke good
tho shortago by repaying the money or
rapidly as he coutd collect It, If nothing
mere, certainly combats tho theory of his
Intention to dissipate the funds In his cus
tody. It Is ill Mr u It to reconcile tho con
tention that Mr. Hartley took tho funds
with tho Intention of appropriating them to
his uso with the evidence that up to the
very hour of hln nrres! ho was exerting
every effort to make good the shortage,
and In fact had already paid lu n consid
erable amount.
"I ft fid upon examination that bank
wreckers, who Invariably leave iiiln In
their wake, receive n sentence of about
five or six years on tho nveroge. In their"
rnso oxtenuatlng circumstances, as" above
referred to, do not exist, and the ronst
quencca nnd blighting forces of their trans
gressions fall with terrible effect upon In
dividuals and families, especially those lu
moderate, circumstances.
CiiUh It Perversion of .liintter.
"In tho keen atrlfo for political advan
tage, parties nnd Individuals, I, with the
rest, vied with each other In denunciation
of Mr. Hartley, and his trial nnd scntanco
took place In, tho midst of the consequent
excitement and clamor, and I find, mid It Is
only too true, .thot tho huvorltj .f sentences
Is much o'ffectcd by political exigencies',
which I can denominate as lining nothing
short of a lamentable perversion of Justice.
H hno been frequently remarked that Mr.
Hartley's sentence, rendered aa It was nt a
time of high political excitement, was
something more than an unbiased applica
tion of tho law,sond It has been not Infre
quently urged that the personal equation
entered Into It to n marked degree, and
theso deductions, and conclusion!! have been
publicly paraded without ehailcuge.i ,
"No t'oubt the feeling at thut time wns
lntnusifleil by tho general lnnnclal distress
qf tho cbuntry and public opinion was so
fovered thai It refused to tako cognizance
of .facts well calculated (o palllato tho of-
fenso and modify r tlib characters tho
crime. Evpn slnre ,Hc time I directed tho
ct,urn of Mr, hartley to, the. penitentiary
while, "on parole, scntlinent -has' chnngcil
so tHot ilfircral welt mca'nlug men yho voted
for llio recall of (ho parola ond tho .return
of Mr. Hartley to tho pcnltontlory assured
mo that they hn'vo Blnce realized their njls-
tako and aro very sorry that they so voted."
i
Ground of Object lonx,
"Tho question to bo considered, there
fore, Is 'What, then, are tho grounds urged
against oxccutlvo clemency In tho enso
and whence do they proceed?' The objec
tions urged that have bumo to my notice
nro political and proceed from politicians.
So for Is this tfue that men who had
signed the petition for Mr. Hartley') par
don, In convention, demanded his return
to prison. Thoflo opposing executlvo clem
ency do not sny that 'tho sentenro was not
excessive or that Mr. Hartley hos not been
Hufllclently punished, or thot any good can
come of lift further detention, or any dan
ger -to tho' state from his yelease.
"Their plea Is that his pardon would
endanger tho surccss of the republican
party In tho state. This plea Is not valid
and should not stand between a prisoner
and his liberty, if he Is entitled' to It. It
la tho proud 'boast of tho republican party
that Us principles stand for humanity,
morality and good government. That Is
the doctrine of tho ropubllcan party In tho
nation nnd It can be nothing less. In Ne
braska. Any political party, that under
takes to nchlcvo success at tho expense of
sacrifice of theso principles doscrves woll
righteous retribution and drastic discipline,
at tho hands of the people. The political
party, that must feed upon human rights
ond vlolatn principles Intondrd to safe
guard tho liberty of tho Individual In order
to maintain supremacy is unworthy of pub
lic confidence nnd respect nnd very Justly
merits public .distrust and contempt. I
feel for tho Judgment nnd senso of Jnstlco
of any man who contends that tho Immola
tion of any prisoner Is essential to po
litical supremacy. Such objections may
have weight in political councils and among
men who ldok to Btratcgy nnd Intrlguo In
calculating how to circumvent opposition
to them'BelvPB ond their party, but when
thoy are brought to tho attention of the
governor of tho state ho Is bound to psss
upon them Recording to the dictates of tho
law and In tho light of unbiased reason.
II In Conception of Duty.
"I" con conceive of nothing more mon
strous than for a chief exceutlvo to rcfuio
to cxerclsa lawful prerogatives through
fear of Incurring the enmity of some In
dividual or set of Individuals.
"Tho question which I as governor of
Nebraska must consider Is not, 'Will tho
exercise of executlvo clemency luterfcro
with tho success of' mysolt or my party,
but, 'lias Hurtley boon punished enough
for the offense of which ho stands con
victed?' Considering tho avorngo of pun
ishments Inflicted for similar offenses, tho
time, tho circumstances under which tho
shortage occurred, tho sevorlty of tho sen
tence, tho conduct of tho prisoner while
confined In prison, tho harsh blow which
fall upon, Hartley and his family through
tho summary cutting short of his release
on parole which was an aggravation of
punishment not contemplated by his orig
inal scnleiico I havo coruo to the con
clusion that tho question should bo an
b we rod In (he affirmative, and that no good
con bo subserved by tho prisoner's further
detention, It can In no way harm the
public tp gvo him his liberty, while It
may bo tho means of repairing tho shat
tered mind pud reason of a devoted wlfn
and afford relief to tho bruised nnd quak
ing hearts of his Innocent and defenseless
children.
"Havlpg conic to this conclusion, nothing
remains for mo to do but to glvo to, hlin
his liberty, nnd I have therefore done, no,
There may bo a difference of opinion as to
tho rectitude of my action, but I have con
cluded this was tho proper courso to pur
siio, and, seeing it In that light, I would
ho false to my conscience, falsa to my oath
of ofM'co and faUo to every principle upon
which tho foundation of our structure of
government rests If I ncted otherwise.
In the name of the republican party '
hope that It may never be truthfully soli
that for the wike of oillciV party supremnci
or political preferment ,lt trafficked Ii
human liberty, tho ono great principle tc
whose tirnteetlnn nnd rnnsnrvathHtl It hat
dedlratedf Its intelligence, its energies ami
best efforts of its life.
SlKiier In I'etltlon.
"While iny action In the premises Is
based entirely oipon my own conclusions, 1
am mindful of the tact that in taking th.s
view of tho case 1 am rupported by thou
sands ot the best citizens ot this state.
Among tho thousands who have urged upon
me the granting of n full nnd unconditional
pardon nro the following:
