The Cleveland Scandal.

Grover Cleveland the Democratic
candidate for President is a batche-
lor, and makes Buffalo, n. Y, his
home He has been charged with
being the father of a child to a wild
ow named Maria P. Halpin. The
charge has been the subject of a great
deal of attention and thousands of
inquiries have been sent toreputable
people of the city of Buffalo, to learn
the truth of the matter By a per
sonal investigation of the charge, by
Kinsley Twinning, d. D., in which he
spent two full days in Buffalo among
journalists, clergymen and others, he
says in the New York Independent
of August IA, 1884 L am satisfied
that | know the case from fuller in
formation than do any of those who
have given it private or public cur
rency.
Now, it is not my purpose here to
repeat the particulars of thereported
scandal in its grosser or its corrected
version. Those who want it can get
it from the publisher of the Buffalo
Telegraph, who will be glad to sell
copies. If necessary, 1 am ready
with the full facts but it is not nee
essary here.
The kernel of truth in the various
charges against Mr.. Cleveland is this,
that when he was younger than he is
now he was guilty of an illicit con-
nection but the charge, as brought
against him, lacks the elements of
truth in these substantial points.
There was no seduction, no adultery,
no breach of promise, no obligation
of marriage; but there was at that
time culpable irregularity of life,
living as he was as batchelor, for
which it was proper and is proper
that he should suffer After the pri-
mary offense, which is not to be pal
lated in the circle for which write,
his conduct showing no attempt to
evade responsibility, and doing all he
could to meet the duties involved, of
which marriage was certainly not one.
There was no abduction, only proper
legal action under circumstances
which demanded it.
The facts which have been blown
up into case of kidnapping, are that
the child being neglected and in dan
ger of death, Mr.. Cleveland took in
to his confidence Judge Burrows, a
citizen whose high character is clear
ly enough proved by the fact that he
was then Trustee of the Protestant
Orphan Asylum. Under his persua-
sion the child was surrendered by
the mother to the orphan asylum,

Horrible.

Ever since the return of the Gree
ly expedition from the Arctic region
report has been afoat that them men
that have been brought home alive,
kept themselves from starving by
eating the remains of their comrads
that died.
A number of the men that died
last June, or rather their remains
were brought home in metallic. cas-
kets, and inferred in grave yards
among their friends.
The unpleasant rumors about their
flesh having been eaten by living
comrads caused living relatives to
raise the body of Lieutenant Kisling-
bury of Rochester, N Y, last Thurs
day, and learn the truth The heavy
iron casket was taken out of the earth,
and in the presence of two brothers
of the deceased, two doctors examin-
ed the body of the dead man who
had been brought from the ice re
gion of the north. The head, face
and feet were perfect, but the flesh
from the ribs, thighs and back had
been nicely removed by some sharp
instrument.
Ship wrecked people have related
instances of civilized people feeding
on the bodies of people to save them
selves from starvation.
History relates instances of the
same kind. Josephus, in the 9th
book of his wars of the Jews, tells
tale of canabalistic horror, of how
jewess of good family was so hard
pressed by the famine that prevailed
in Jerusalem during the time that
Titus besieged it, that she snatched
up her son which was sucking at her
breast, and said, ''Oh thou miserable
infant for whom shall L preserve thee
in this war, this famine and this Sc
dition." She slew her son, and roast
ed him, and ate the one half of him,
and kept the other half concealed.
Presently a starving lot of seditious
people came in her house and de-
manded something to eat. She pre-
sented what remained of her own
son, and told them what it was, the
men went out of the house trembling
being very much frightened. Hor-
rible, Horriblel

A NUMBER of men have been theor-
izing on the cause of the late earth
quake manifestation, and declare that
it is because so much gas is escaping
through coal oil wells, and wells dug
to secure gas. They declare that the
escaped gas causes the earth to CO
lapse or shrink and that in time will
produce earthquake. How about the
earthquakes of the past, before gas
wells were in existencet It is now
in order for some one to arise and
tell us that the past earthquakes were
caused because the gas in the bowls
of the earth had not sufficiently large
places to escape and in its force broke
the crust of the earth and caused
earthquake, and that the reason the
late manifestation at Philadelphia
and New York did not destroy those
and other places was owing to the
fact that so many gas wells have
been dug and through them the gas
escaped without breaking the crust
of the earth.

that through the leaders of ten the

that their Democratic followers were

in the books is that March 9th, 1876,
Oscar Halpin, born September 14th,
1874, was received from his mother.
Maria P. Halpin, at the board rate of
$500 per week, which presumably,
Mr.. Cleveland was to pay through
Judge Burrows. Finding that in the
surrender of the child, she had lost
her claim against Mr.. Cleveland, Mrs.
Halpin endeavored to recover him,
and finally, as the asylum record
gives it, April 2Sth, 1876, he was
.'stolen" by her. In the mothers
hands his situation grew more alarm
ing than ever. The ex-chief and the
officers in charge agreed in repre-
senting to me that something had to
be done. Judge Burrows then di-
rected the child to be returned to
the asylum, where he is again record

A CHICAGO paper says: A lady went
to fancy dress ball in London the
other day dressed as a campagne
bottle, cork and all complete. This
is not such a good dress as l once
saw man appear at a fancy-dress
bail in. He was dressed as his own
grave stone and had all his virtues
emblazoned in front. A man asked
Sidney Smiths advice once in choos-
ing a costume for carnival, and told
the witty parson he wanted perfect
disguise. "Then wash your face and
go as a gentleman, and l am sure no
one would know you" was the rude
reply.

MR. EDrToR.-In the belief that Juniata
should present the very best men for the
respective offices to be filled at the ensuing
election, beg lea"e to recommend for as
sembly, William Hertzler, of Turbett town
ship. Although young man, Mr.. Hertz
Ter has for years been one of the most de-
voted of our Republicans, and past cam
paigns have owed much of their success to
his energetic, uDtiring and intelligent la
Dor. A man of fine education, he would,
if elected, do credit as well TO the party as
TO the people of our county. FAYETTE.

MR. EDIToR.-Permit me to announce
the name of Captain James J Patterson for
State Senator. This Senatorial District is
close one, and it'behooves the Republi-
can party to put forth as Its candidate, one
who has the fitness to fill the position, ard
who will command the confidence of the
people. Captain Patterson was a brave SOL

by Col. Beaver, and served honorably
through the whole war. II he will accept
the nomination, no worthier candidate could
be selected. LACK.

Mr.. EDToR.-I would announce the
name of W. C. Pomeroy, OF Port Royal, for
State Senator. In doing so | express the
wishes of large number of Republicans in
this county and IN this Senatorial district.
Mr.. Pomeroy, as a member of the Legisla
ture, was popular representative. He was
faithful in the discharge of lis official du-
ties. He voted against the continuance of
the extra session. He voted for an ad
journment on every occasion, when he
found no agreement could be had between
the Senate and the House. His course in
the House of Representatives was such as
to deserve commendatiOn. Knowing the
wants of his constituents so well, and with
his legislative experience, his nomination
would be a merited one, and be to the best
interests of the Republican party.

Mr. EDrToR.-As the office of County
Auditor although the least sought after is
nevertheless one of the most important IN

times by competent and conscientious men
permit me to suggest that the Republicans
of Juniata cannot do better than by rsnomi-
mating the present Republican members OF
the Board, Messrs Degan and Weimer, or
the people OF Juniata, than by triumphantly
eIecting them. They have been weighed in
the balances and not found wanting.
