Charles Dana, of the New York Sun, was
asked what he thought of Cleve!and's weak
points. He replied, the weak points in
Cleveland are his ignorance, his dullness
and narrowness of mind, his inability to
deal with questions that require enlarged
intelligence, his coarse personal tastes and
habits, his indifference TO the usages OF cul-
tured and refined society, and his bad record
in private life. Besides, he has hanged
men, and while that is a useful function,
perhaps, one doesn't like to have il perform
ed by a man who is running for President. ~
The above is very good estimate of
Clevelands character, and / thought per-
haps you had not seen it, and would send
it TO you. All the New England States are
going TO support Blaine in November. Peo-
pie here are getting very much disgusted
with the Mulligan letters, especially bust
ness men. They are doing more good for the
Republican campaign than anything else.
