SOME eight or ten years since, MIR.
Cleveland sinned as men and women
often sin. He however never shrank
from the consequences, but accepted
them as justin manly and honorable
way. He has since been elected Mayor
of the city of Rochester, and later by an
unprecedented majority, Governor of
the great State of New York, and not
a word was said of this sin of his
private life and of a former day.
But now, since his nomination for
the Presidency, it is raked up by the
malice of some disappointed place
seeker, eagerly clutched by the Re
publican politicians and sought to be
used for his defeat. Surely no fair
minded person will say that such an
tissue should ever have been made at
this time against man who has been
conspiciously able and faithful in
the discharge of all his public duties.
We have too much faith in the sense
of justice and fair play of the Ameri-
can people not to believe that SO far
from damaging his election, it will
react in his favor.

most bitterly the zeal ofhis desperate
supporters in trying to make political
capital out of distorted episode in

be worsted in that species Of warfare
The charges upon which he has now
brought suit. whether true or false,
