INTELLIGENCE BY TIE MAILS.

The Erccuiire Organ aud Mr.. Cas-.

W ASHlSGlON, August %, 1913
The Erccuiirc Organ aud Mr.. Cas-.
The executive organ of this morning contains
article denying that the editor has received any
letter from Mr.. Cass pledging himself to veto the
Wimot provlso The article particularly refers
to communication in the Ncp York Herald, re-
presenting that such letter had been received by
the editor of the U,,ion.
Although not the author of the communication,
having been aware that Mr. Cass has never been
guilty of the lndscretion of corresponding conf
dentiay with the editor of the Un,on, still deem
It advisable to give the history of the affair, in or
der to show that the communication IN the Herald
was not wholly that groundless surmise the editor
OF the Union would lead the public to believe.
Several articles have lately appeared in the
Union, giving out mystic iously that there was a
certainty that MIR Cass would, if elected President
veto the Wilmot proviso, if submitted to him by
Congress IN any measure. So plain was the lnte-
renee that the editor had received some special
lntimation from Mr.. Cass of such intention,
that the correspondents of halt dozen newspa-
pers, besides the Herald, expressed their belief of
the existence of such letter. This not all.
Several of MIR. Cass's northern friends addressed
letter to the editor, calling upon him for infor-
nation. The tenor of his reply am not authorised
TO state, put the result was me publication, N the
have adverted
Now, it Is difficult to understand why the editor
OF the Union should give out and pretend, In Ian
guage plain as to impose not only on the cores
pondents of the press, but the northern members
Of Congress- that he had received letter from Mr..
Cass, ofthe import have indicated, when the fac
turns out to be, as he has been compelled to
knowledge, that he has received no such commu-
nication. The imputation against Mr. Cass, of be-
ing so ndlscreet as to correspond confdentlally
with the editor Of the Union, was grievous one
and 1t is easy TO understand why the friends of the
democratic candidate for the presidency. should
feel anxious to relieve him of the onus of such a
charge, independently of their unwillingness to
permit the statement of his intention to veto the
WImot proviso to go to the North, uncontradict-
ed. The affected indignation of the organ at the
presumption of the Herald correspondent, in draw
ing the unavoidable inference to be deduced from
Its own language, is amusing.
But II Is not more amusing, than the language
employed by the organ in depicting the scenes on
the floor of Congress A day or two since il re-
presented Mr.. Clayton, of Delaware, Gone of the
most peaceabe gentlemen in the Senate,) as hav-
ing '"foored Mr.. Badger IN the most genteel man.
