Tho One Certainty.

In the midst of the strange features and per
picking uncertainties of this novel canvass, one
fact became apparent at the beginning, and re-
mains as undesirable and positive at the close
This fact is that Grover Cleveland is not fit to

public disgrace, and his very candidacy is d-
rect menace to the great manufacturing indus
tries that have grown up and dourished for so
long in the North and are now beginning to be
developed in the South. This man ought to be

Indiana Women for Blaine.

Indianapolis letter in Philadelphia Press.
The infamous SANDER about Blaine's marriage,
published by the Indianapolis Sentinel, has had
the opposite effect in this State from what the
originators intended. 1t has aroused the women
of Indiana and their influence is being felt as it
was never felt before. At Lafayette, Fort
Wayne. South Bend. Terre Haute and other
points there are authentic cases where the women
have effected changes in votes, and in various
ways, mothers, wives. sisters and sweethearts
are doing quiet but effectual work for Blaine
Here in Indianapolis their influence is seen by
the number of young Democrats whose names
have been enrolled as members of the Morton
Club. The club is composed principally of young
Republican business men, and. as nearly all the
best society people are Republicans, the young
ladies are insisting that their Democratic sweet
hearts shall rebuke the Democratic SANDER upon
virtuous womanhood by openly declaring for
Blaine; and rather than lose their sweetheartsf
the young Democrats are coming to time.

any other person can cast the slightest suspicion
over me. Up to that hour my life was pure and
spotless as that of any lady in the city of Buff

man enough and just enough to admit, and
defy him or any of his friends to state q single
fact or give single incident or action of mine to
which any one could take exception. l always

tanned an introduction to me from person in
whom had every confidence, and he paid me very
marked attention. His character so far as
then knew, was good, and his intentions, be-
heved, were pure and honorable
The circumstances under which my ruin was ae-
complished are too revolving the part of Grover
Cleveland to be made public. l did not see Grover
obliged to send for him. he being the proper per
son TO whom could tell my trouble. | will not at
this time detail my subsequent sufferings and the
birth of boy, Sept. IL 1874 But will say that
the statement published in the Buffalo Telegram in
the main, is true. There is not, and never was,
tempt of Grover Cleveland, his friends to couple
the name of Oscar Folsom, any else, with that

false. Attached hereto Is statement prepared and
