So much has been said and written
about the Cleveland-Maria Halpin af-
fair that we feel impelled to give the
following truthful statement of the
matter. When the charges first ap-
peared one of Cleveland's friends ad-
vised with him, asking what action
should be taken in the matter. The
reply came by telegraph: "Tell the
truth"
"Grover Cleveland has not lived a
cllaste life; but his connection with
impure women has not been fiaunted
in the face of the public, and, except
for his present prominent position, his
life in this respect would doubtless
have been unknown.
Maria Halpin was a widow with
children at the time Cleveland became
intimate with her, and she herself was
and had been for some time, intimate
with two or three other men, although
.at.the time Cley - - not aware
orit. when LEI ts9fs'f%as III lwss%as born she
charged Cleveland with its paternity
and he made provision for mother and
child. She then began drinking heav-
lily and the child was neglected: At
this time Cleveland decided to put
the matter of the care of the mother
and child into the hands of some one
on whom he could depend, and chose
Judge Burrows of Buffalo, gentleman
advanced in years, and of high stand
ing in the community. One day re-
port was brought to Judge Burrows
that the woman was in high state OF
excitement through drink He, with
out Cleveland's knowledge, sent de-
tectives to the house, who, on their
own responsibility, took the woman
to the Providence asylum, where she
was kept but a short time, and the
child was taken to the Providence or
phan asylum. Cleveland then gave
the woman means to start in business
at Niagara. She did not stay there
long, however, returning to Buffalo,
where she frequently visited and fin
ally abducted the child from the or
phan asylum. The woman then con-
suited Milo A. Whitney, a well-known
lawyer of Buffalo, with reference to
bringing suit against Cleveland. Soon
after, brother-in-law came on from
the East and the matter, so far as the
woman was concerned, was settled by
payment of $500, she agreeing to sur
render the boy. The boy is now adop-
ted in family where he is well cared
for and knows nothing of his parent
age. Mr.. Whitney, the woman's law
yer, states that in all her conversations
with him, she never told him there
was any promise by Cleveland of mar
riage. The worst features of the story
seemed to be disproved, in that it was
not case of seduction, and that the
woman being taken to the, Providence
asylum was without the knowledge o.
Cleveland. The stories of his drunk
enness are pronounced absolutely
false; in his use of liquor he is not an
abstainer, but is temperate. | am in
formed that other stories concerning
immoral actions said to have beer
committed during late years are with.
ont foundation in fact.

The Saturday night debauch which
so many of our people indulge in can
be justly charged to the prohibition
which the law has placed upon every
form of Sunday recreation. Forbid
den every rational enjoyment on Sun
day, many men who work hard all
the week take a spree on Saturday
night and use Sunday to sleep it off.
1t is only a question Of time when
there will be no restrictions upon in
nocent recreation on Sunday.

1t is interesting at this time, when
the Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent is being assailed on moral grounds
to revert to some past political can
vases. Whether Grover Cleveland
ever seduced widow, which is an
achievement of no ordinary difficulty,
or widow seduced the Governor, will
probably never be believed by Demo-
Gratis however conclusively the charges
may be proved against him. The af-
fair shows however that man at for
ty-seven should be married and the
father of several children, for a BACH
sse sls~iienxc attacks
OF men who shield their own immor-
alities behind the marriage altar and
the fatherhood which it brings. The
temptation is also done away with in
greater or less degree.
Alexander Hamilton was far from
saint. His affairs with women were
stated to be of the worst criminality.
Aaron Burr, who, unlike Hamilton,
did not keep his illicit love affairs
locked in secrecy, was all his life
abused for his gallantries. Yet Burr
was the man who directed public at
tention from Hamilton by fatal bull
let ON the heights of Weehawken.
Henry Clay was made target forself-
constituted Puritans. He was de-
nounced as gambler and libertine
by his opponents, while before him
Jefferson was called an infidel, a
French revolutionist, and Tom Moore's
off-color line was quoted by his oppo-
nents with gusto. The poem in which
it occurs paints jefferson as one who
dreams of freedom in his slaves en-
brace" 1t can be found in any full
edition Of Moore's poems. Andrew
Jackson was said to be professional
gamester, horse-racer and the murder
or of Arbuthnot and Ambrister. His
beautiful wife, whom he loved with a
passionate idolatry was also a theme
of gossip. Her name was dragged in
to the political canvass because she
had been married to Jackson while
under the impression that she had
been legally divorced. The divorce
was perfected, another marriage en-
sued, but that did not stop the perse-
cution. Jackson shot and killed Dick
inson, young lawyer of Nashville,
on account of it. The stories had al
ways been kept from her until one
day she heard them rsReSfed in an
adjoining room. In a few hours she
died of heart disease.
1t may be said with certainty that
no adult male dare write his sins on
his forehead. If he did he would
pull his hat over his eyes when he
went into the street. We would not
condone the offence of the Democrat
ic standard bearer because of these
things. They only show that it is no
new thing for the personal character
of men to be laid bare to the people in
political canvasses.
1t cost just 100000 apiece to bring
home the survivors of the Greely ex-
pedition. Nobody will begrudge the
rescue of the heroes at any cost, but
we hope more caution will be observ-
nd IN inralrinn tho countr.r II, aax.
