Notwithstanding Grover Clevelaud's
humiliating, whining letter to Mrs.
Henry Ward Beecher telling that lady
what good and dutiful son he was to
his mother, what pure and virtuous
life he has led, and what an innocent,
harmless Young man he has been, the
fact OF his moral degradation stands
uudisputed before the people. His sins
will not dowa even at the bidding OF
Henry Ward Beecher, but he stands
before the community a self-confessed
libertine and destroyer of female virtue.
His references 10 the big demonstration
in Buffalo on his recent return home to
that city az proof ofthe esteem in which
he Is held is a miserable suoterf uge

or forty leading ministers OF tho city
in which Grover Cleveland lived have
. better right to speak for his charac-
TOR than Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
living theee hundred miles distant.
Grover Cleveland. in his letter, deliber-
ately attempts To deceive in a manner
more culpaDle than straightout lying.
do these thirty ministers lie ? There
II abundant evidence that they do not
lie. II there were no dtsgraced Maria
HaIpin, whom the trucking servants
OF Grover Cleveland, paid by his
money, threw into an asylum where he
hoped she might die and nide his guilt,
there might be some room left 10 doubt

Were there no iilegi child o
shame, the undenie.i son of Grove
Cleveland left to recoIne a charge upol

the poor house, then tAere would b
some little grounds tor believing Grove
Cleveland's lying letter and Dellevin
that the thirty ministers in Burial
were liars. Were there no ve,ied femal

Grover Cleveland was the innoceI
victim he paints himself TO Mr.
Bescher.
The crimes of indecency and III
morality charged against Grover Clev
land stands in a different light fro
the calumnies against Blaine. AT u
worst the question TO answer IN Z
case of Blaine is a question OF homes
aud dishonesty, with but a slend
thread upon which to hang the lea
aus. icion of dishonesty.
In CIeveland's CASE the question
will the people support a man for
Presidency whose crimes against la
d.crncy and morals, stand self-confe'
al before the country, and only dem
by ne guilty man himself TO La
when he found the decent, respect
BILE portion of his party rise up aeali
him. Against Cleveland stand un'
MED charges of periidity, protigau
drunkenness and licentiousne
crimes which have burned down de
in the public mind. The candidacy
Cleveland for the Presidency Is /
only disgrace, but it has prostitutes

must break forth in a flood of imi

In proof of this we have but to gu
