Or GOVERNOR CLEvELAND's letter, the
New York Sun says: "Will this spirit
less and Intellectual writing, the feeblest
and most businessman like document
that like occasion in our history has
ever inspired, will 1t dispel the feeling
of disorganization which is abroad and
allay the doubts and discords that rend
the Democratic party? Is there any
thing in it that will gather to Grover
Cleveland the strength of that party, re-
ooncile its factions and carry 1t to VIC
tory in this remarkable oontestY We
think not. In letters Of great pith and
moment the manner is generally of
small account compared with the mat

an unfortunate production"

TO he Editor OF The Erening critic:
&c, you state that "Mrs. Roys was granted a
divorce from Chase Roys, with alimony, which
she has been unable TO obtain" This Is a
mistake, no alimony ever having been allowed
her. The custody OF the children was awarded
her-three young girls-the Oldest being 10
years.. small sum OF money, resulting from
tho sale or the home, was set apart for their
dian and receiving this sum. 1t was scarcely
more than sunictent for their clothing for n
year or two, and I proposed to apply It to their
benefit In that way. But the complainant was
endeavoring to get an order OF the Court to
turn this sum over to her.
on the Goth OF June Lest Justice Cox mado
an order to the guardian to pay $40 a month
but made no provision for anyone TO take II
out and use 1t for the benefit OF the girls. /
refused 10 obey this order until it was correct
ed, and also because was In doubt about the
authority OF the Court TO order a guardian to
turn the funds into the registry. The Court
being OF opinion that they had the authority,
and seeming TO insist upon the payments
being made, declined to act as guardian in
that limited capacity and resigned the ONCE.
Observe you state that call the Roys fam
lly was In attendance" This is another error.
Only Mr.. and Mrs. Roys were there.
My only object in asking for the custody OF
the children at this time was that / might
take them out OF the city for the next two
