He Will Not Support Cleveland Unless the
ScandaIous Charges Are Disproved
New Yors Special 10 insinnati Commercial Gazette
The Rev Henry Ward Beecher received the
correspondentin hiszeountry house at Peekskill
In reply to the inquiry, he expressed himself as
feeling very much better The conversation
then turned IN regard to the truthfulness of the
letter alleged to have been recently written by
Mr. Beecher to Mr.. George R. Peck. of Kansas,
in which Mr Beecher is credited with having
said: Owing the late developments from Al
bany, cannot seonseientiously and will not sup
port Grover Cleveland II am not sure that
those were my words but the sentence conveys
the general tenoT.of a.Ietter wrote to George
Peck, who. by the way, is not relative or con-
nectlon of mine consider. however contin-
ued Mr. Beecherspith Indignation, that he has
acted very imprudefltly IN making it public The
letter was written to Mr.. Peck in a confidential
strain, and was in reply to one from him of
similar natnre- At the time wrote to him
was also in reeefp6- of several letters of the
strongest character from clergymen in Buffalo
IN regard to Mr.. Cleveland,s immortality of char
acter This information came on me like a
crash, and certainly intimated in my note to
Peck that # the allegations against Mr.. Cleve-
land proved to be true, | could never be his
aTmof-oe6rer OF advocate also put myself in
communication with several leading independ
ents IN New York and urged that committee
should be sent out by two religious papers in
New York to make fair inquiry and report
During the tendency of these investigations /
can do nothing but hold my tongue. To declare
that would not support Cleveland would
virtually be to become his accuser My mind
therefore settles to this purpose: If Mr. Cleye-
land shall be justly subjected to the charge of
continuous immortality subsequently to the lex
perience of thirteen or fourteen) years ago l
shall be barred from all farther action
Was committee of investigation appointed
as yoT suggestedP
Il believe So
Have you definitely decided to withdraw your
support from Mr.. Cleveland2n
No have not. must first learn the truth
II Mr.. Cleveland is dissipated man / won't
vote for him or advocate him. If he is not
will both vote for him aud advocate him.
Il see0 continued Mr.. Beecher that morn
ing paper says that was to speak at meeting
Of independent Republicans in Brooklyn this
evening. | never was expected to speak, nor
asked to speak, and never at any time dreamed
OF speaking on that occasion. It is also nsinu-
ated by newspapers that my indisposition has
been imaginary. Mrs Beecher has been nurs-
ing me since Friday, and only last night did she
secure her proper amount of sleep Ihave been
exceedingly i'll with collie, and if my word to that
effect is not sufficient, DR. Tilden, of Peekskill
can give you certificate. / am much better to-
day, and if Hook well it is because | am mad,

A GREAT OFFER.
The WEEKLY JOURNAL
for the Campaign at
% CENTS

In order to place the WEEKLY INDIANA
STATE JOURNAL in the home Of every Repub
ican in the State, and thus do good campaign
service for the Republican party, we have de-
cided to send the paper till after the presiden-
tial election for % cents.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL isa complete family
newspaper. It is specially edited, and much
of the matter appearing in it is especially pre-
pared for the wants of the weekly readers. It
is compendium Of the NEWS OF THE WORLD
from all quarters; it has full and accurate mar
ket reports; its editorials are political social
and general it has the news Of the State
and of the city. Its literary and miscellane-
GUS features are Of the best
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is a newspaper that
should be in every family in Indiana and at
the price named for it there is no reason why
it should not be, at least during the exciting
and important campaign upon which the
country has now entered. Political com
mittees cannot do better than to see that
copies Of THE WEEKLY JOURNAL are placed
in the hands of those persons in their
counties who are not now readers of
some sound Republican paper The
tariff question is the one issue which
is likely to be most prominently dis
cussed, and to this the Journal pays especial
attention, advocating the maintenance Of the
principle Of protection to American industry
in whatever revision Of the tariff laws may be
made necessary in the future developments of
business and labor. In this question the
farming community is deeply interested, and
the discussions of the journal will be
largely directed to the agricultural aspects of
the question.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is the only paper in
Indiana that publishes regularly Ten Pages,
and this will be continued throughout the
campaign, despite the low price. Send in
names at once, either singly or in clubs, and
thus get the full term for the money.

heated discussion the convention took recess,
with motion to accept the invitation and an
amendment declaring the acceptance without
political significance, still pending After adj
