Drowning Infamy of His Lite.
ATLANTA Constitution.

The crowning infamy of Nj. Blsins's life,
II il were possible for any one Of his infa-
mics 10 stand ont from the others, Is the
manner of his dismissal of the libel suit
against the indianapolis Sentinel. When
the Sentinel met the slsnderer of Grover
Cleveland by showing that his own record
needed clearing, Mr.. Blaine rushed to the
courts with q great show OF indignation. He
now withdrsvs the suit on the extraordin-
AIRY ground that there is no justice in In
diana courts Such vile accusations against
the people of a State could only come from
a man whose whole life is but veneer.

I am glad by this reference to tell a story
of Governor Cleveland, which may now be
regarded as q characteristic of the man. He
had written to John Kelley, the famous
personal comfort" letter regarding Senator
Grady, and turning to his private secretary,
Daniel S. Lamont he is said to have asked
him:
Lamont, would you, as good politician,
write that letterTi
mo, Governor" said Mr.. Lamont after
reading it, II would not"
"Then 1 can't be good politician" re-
sponded Cleveland, "for am going to for
