Some time ago the New York Sun published
an interview with William Purcell, of the Roch-
ester Union, in which he said he was opposed to
Cleveland, not for personal or political reasons,
but because he was 'smoral Ieperp Now the
news comes from Rochester that Mr.. Purcell
has published the following card:
Two days after the appearance in the Buffalo
Evening Telegraph Of the article headed "A Ter
rible Tale, in conversation with representative
of the New York Sun, REMARKED that upon the
then existing state of facts, Governor Cleveland
must be considered moral leper The concur
sion without the premise was printed, and has
since been extensively copied now de-

come to rue from source in which place i'm

of facts upon which the remark was made
Hence in justice to Governor Cleveland and
myself, and to all others whom it may concern,
/ Withdraw the characterization, and request

With the news from Rochester comes the in
formation from Buffalo that some of the friends
of Governor Cleveland are preparing a statement
for publication which will put new light on the
charges openly made by the Telegraph, of that
city The story has been sifted by politicians of
all classes, and various conclusions arrived at
The main points of the story will be denied
The statement will prove that the charges of
drunkenness are false in many respects and the
bar-room brawls in which it is alleged the Gov
ernor has taken part will be fatty contradicted
The charge of cruelty will also be denied and
the alleged abduction story will be told in diff
ferent way, at least less discreditable to the

Mrs. Mary A. Liyermore Urges Support of
the Republican Ticket.
Boston, Aug. 9.-Mrs. Mary A. Livermore
sends a letter to the Journal, of which the fol.
lowing is an abstract:
II wish to repeat and to emphasize the advice
given by Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony in
their circular letter to the members of the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage Association Stand by
the Republican party Although women do not
vote at presidential elections, they exert large
political influence, which cannot be measured,
but which is potent, felt and recognized In no
Imperative need of woman throwing her entire
moral force on the right side than in the present
instance
II regret that the national Prohibition party
at the convention in Pittsburg showed itself un-
equal to the situation. 1t failed to give to its
most powerful allies the recognition which was
their due. Women had worked for it and what
position it had achieved was largely due to
their efforts. But it seemed to be willing to use
the National Woman's Christian Union, organ
lied in forty States and Territories, with more
than 10000 members only as a stepping stone
to help 1t to climb into national prominence.
For its platform it made prohibition of the
liquor traffic national question, demanding for
it a national amendment to the Constitution.
But woman suffrage, through which alone prohi-
biton can be obtained, it reegated to the var
ious States for settlement, thus putting the cart
before the horse with vengence, for as Mrs.
Stanton truly declares Prohibition cannot So
cure woman suffrage
but woman suffrage is the only power through
which prohibition can be secured All temper
ance women can continue to work for their great
cause through the moral agencies at their serv-
ice Through the church and Sunday school,

devoted almost entirely to this, and will not
strike at the labor plank in the Republican plat
form at all He will call attention to the fact
that he tried to induce the Democrats at Chi
cago to adopt labor platform, and will give it
as his reason for boiling the convention that
they were antagonistic to labor interests, and
his loyalty to labor demanded the action he has
taken He will even go further, it is said, and
contrast the platform adopted at the last Chi
cago convention unfavorably with that of the
Republicans. The effect of this will be, Repub-
lican politicians argue that the Republican la
boring men, finding nearly all they desire in
their own platform, will have no motive to go
over to Butler, while on the other hand, those
who generally vote the Democratic ticket, to
whom Butler directly addresses himself, will
readily follow him, though they would never
vote for Blaine.

chiefly review of the tariff and financial

Republican speakers strongly advocated coali-

this States and the nomination of Mr.. Ford for
Governor to beat Marmaduke. This movement

Capitol last week. They had not single Irish

1T might be reasonably supposed that Irish
politicians in other States, who are unquestion

practically unknown, would pay some heed to

a tremendous cartoon representing Cleveland as
the vassal and slavedriver of the monopolists,

1t may be remembered that Cleveland vetoed

and drivers Of cars. The Irish Worlds editorial
bristles with sharp things 1t is the formidable
Irish movement for Blaine that has caused some
Republicans to be of the opinion that the persist

TO Republican interests.
However, it will turn out to be good thing
to have candidate in the field for whom Demo
crts can vote who could not be persuaded to go

minds that Cleveland is and ought to be a monu-

wife were sitting at breakfast table, waiting
for their morning meal when General John A.
Logan came in and took seat near and behind
them, not observing the Indiana statesman at
first Suddenly espying his opponent for the
vice presidency, General Logan arose and APP
preached the good-natured Hoosier, extending
his hand as he confronted him. The Governor
recognized the Republican candidate, and,
grasping his proffered hand, the two shook
hands heartily. The episode was observed by
quite number of guests, including Secretary of
War Lincoln, General and Colonel Sheridan and
several other military officers.
