CleVeland's Life.
Az ANSWER TO THE CHARGES AGAINST THE
GOVERNOR WHICH Is A CONFESSION.
( Boston Traveller. !

Boston Trayeller.l
The leading Cleveland organ in this city. acting,
apparently, by authority, makes public Mr.. Cleve-
lands answer TO the scandalous charges that have
been current against him for the past few weeks.
The answer Is confession coupled with plea of
extcnuating circumstances. We have RETAINED
from publishing the original charges on grounds
which We have before stated to readers. We
must also beg to be excused from giving space to the
Cleveland confession. II comes In the form Of a
letter written by Buffalo merchant to Boston
merchant The Buffalo merchant is a unique moral
philosopher. He opens his apology with these sem
fences:
Grover Cleveland has not lived chaste life but
his connec ion with impure women has not been
Haunted in the face of the public and, except for his
present prominent position, his life In this respect
would doubtless have been unknown by the general
public.
Then he proceeds with minute confession of Mir.
Clevelands immortality in one particular case, which
we cannot reproduce, in accordance with uni
form rule of excluding grossly indicate matter.
Those who desire it find it in the columns of the
Herald. The Buffalo merchants concluding para
graph, however. in view of the admissions above
quoted we regard quite unique. Says this re-
markable moralist:
In short, Clcveland's character in this city stands
his good judgment and sterling integrity in all pub
lie matters and he has and will continue to receive,
the support in his nomination for the presidency, of
the best class of all the opponents of Mr.. Blaine.
A curious public wants to whether Colonies

Good Crops in the West.
MISxEsoTA TURSISG OUT AN EXCELLENT
QUALITY OF WHEAT.

Rye, oats. and barley are about all harvest
Ell in Southern Minnesota, and the yield, as
far a. reported, is fully up TO expectations
The wheat harvest has begun in many place:
where the soil is light and sandy, and the
work will be general by the first of next
week The crop is of excellent quality and
is turning out better than was expected IN
some cases. The wheat crop IN the southern
portion of the State is the best that has been
raised there in years. Only few crops have
been injured by storms, and they were but
slightly hurt
The corn crop also looks promising. and is
at least three weeks further advanced than at
thi. time last year. Harvest in the northern
part of the State will begin about the 9th OF
August, though some fields in favorable 10
calities will be ripe before that time.
The condition Of the wheat crop in Dakota
is also most promising. From the latest re-
ports it is learned that the damage by the
storms in the vicinity of Tower City will
reach 10000 acres, or total of 10000
bushels. This will not affect the general
crop, and is but drop in the bucket Crops
generally in the Red River Valley are far in
advance Of anything seen for years, but will
not be ready to cut for three weeks. In the
vicinity Of Fargo, the crop will be fair, but
out toward Bismarck, where last year there
was great deficiency, this year there will
be a big crop There is considerable rust In
the wheat along the Winona and St. Peter
Road in Southern Dakota, and smut is doing
great deal of damage in the vicinity of Big
Stone and Mllbank With these exceptions
the crop is doing quite we'll

The Campaign.

The most encouraging reports are re-
ceived from ali quarters in regard to the
prospects of the republicans in the cam
paigu The national committee is in
receipt of correspondence concerning the
situation in the South which indicates n
great change of sentiment there. The
States of Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennes-
see. Georgia. Florida, North and South
Carolina. and the Virginias, are begin
ing to get their eyes open to the necessity
of protective tariff for their young man
uacturing interests. and to consider the
advisability of supporting the republican
ticket on that ground. The tariff issue as
presented has awakened new channels OF
thought and discussion. and is making an
entire revolution in public feeling. In
Louisiana the cotton planters and sugar
manufacturers have declared war on the
free-trade idea. and many of them have
asserted their intention of voting the re-
publican ticket.
The republicans of Tennessee are equal
" hopeful The iron and manufacturing
interests there are dependent upon the
success ofthe protective tariff principle,
aud Judge Houck writes that he firmly
believes the democratic majority can he
overruled there,
Mississippi is ripe for work. John II.
Lynch, the member of the national com
mittce from that State. writes that
/; will be carried by the republicans.
Senator Guichard, chairman of the Miss
issippi State Committee, prominent
planter. writes that the leaders OF public
sentiment in the State are pushing forward
the protective tariff belief to such an ex-
tent that it promises to be the chief and
only issue in the canvass, and that the
lines are being drawn SO that the republic
cans will be able to carry the State.
From North and South Carolina. Florida
Virginia and West Virginia there are SIM
liar expressions. all indicating anew era
in the South. in which the material growth
and prosperity of the country are to be the
chief question. One gentleman writes
from North Carolina "Our people are
infused with the protective tariff principle.
1t has taken hold on everybody. Demo-
Gratis interested in manufactures and in
our mineral resources have begun to see
that the South needs protection TO build it
up. That is what built up the North.
Now. just as we begin to reap some of the
benefits of protection, we can't afford to
have it cut off by the election of a demo-
ratic or Free Trade President aud Con
Eress."

The recent republican State Convention
in West Virginia is a splendid beginning
of the campaign in that State, promising
the entire overthrow of the bourbon adj
ministration now ruling the State The
convention was the largest ever held in
the State, and its proceedings Of the very
highest importance.
In the northern States the skies are
bright all around with signs of a great
republican victory in November.

Few Reasons Why the Augusta, Maine
Edition VIII Outsel All Others
Ten 10 One.

LIST. Because it is the authentic edition published
from Augusta, the home of Blaine and has had tn,
| advantage OF the most complete knowledge of hi
whole life.
| I'd. Because Mr. Blaine and his friends co operat
ed witt the author and publishers in order that
work might be most complete and correct in al
particulars.
Sd. Because Col Conwell is better fitted for writ
ing such volume than any other man in America
all his earnestness knowledge, and ability will be
found in the volume.
4th. b cause in its manufacture IL is the largest
best, and handsomest book ever published for tn,
price that it is sold for. Let no one think of work
ing for any other edition; never do for one dollar
what you can just well receive $1,000 for; you can
sell ten books of the Augusta edition where yol
would hardly sell one of any other.
3th. Because our volume is a pictorial biography,
and illustrates the most interesting scenes In the
life of the candidate. Our volume is splendidly
illustrated
9th. Because the author has visited the scenes
OF the early life OF the distinguished statesman and is
familiar with the of the boy and youth, from
the statements of those still living there, who knew
him them this is an intensely interesting portion of
the volume.
