DEAR SIR: In answer 10 your letter of
the 6 inst, have to say that Governor
Cleveland never vetoed any bill 10 rela-
tion to the employment OF children iu
factories. The cnly bill on the subject
that ever reached him was an act making
it "unlawful for the trustees or managers
of any house OF refuge, reformstory or
other correctional institution, to contract,
hire, or let by the day, week or month ,or
any longer period, the service or labor
Of any child or children now or hereafter

Doubtful States.
TooNFIDENrrAL.1

+ When Messrs. Blaine and Logan were
nominated, those who procured their
nomination boasted that the whole
Northwest was "solid for Blaine," that
Ohio and Indiana we're Jealous for him,
that Virginia and North Carolina would
give him their votes, and that New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut were, ia
fact, the only doubtful States.
Since then matters have greatly chang
ed. There is no such enthusiasm for
The Blaine ticket anywhere as was proph-
esied; and at this moment Iowa, Mchi-
gan and Illinois are doubtful Slates ;
Wisconsin and Indiana are counted safe
ly democratic; Virginia and North Car
olina are no longer claimed by the Blaine
people; even Massachusetts ls in doubt
the majority in Maine was gathered only
by the most perfect organization and the
most profuse and corrupt expenditure OF
money; and the Blaine men admit tnat
if Ohio should be lost by them in Octo-
her. their defeat in November is certain,
while even il they should carry OHIO
next month they are still likely to be de
feated in November.
The tide of public opinion everywhere
sets strongly for Honest Man Cleveland
and against Blaine The people want
change. They want "look at th'
books" They are ready to give tb'

A Misrepresentation.

silence, except the same desire to deceive

comments.
Gov. Cleveland did not "psss over the

assertion lacks the element OF veracity
Hence there could have been no desire
on Gov Cleveland's part TO "deceve the

did they make this exception2 1t was
because they knew that Mr.. Blaine's

render him IN unfit candidate"
The significance Of such an uttersuce

to discredit Cleveland has been of no
avail among men who, though in name

lines. Mr.. Lyman says that he has con-

It's saying good deal. We admit, but
on the whole the most disreputsble and
abandoned act OF this most dIsrepusable
OF camoalgns has been perpetraied by
the New York Sun In trying to get votes
against Cleveland among the criminal
classes by republishing column aud
half story OF the execution OF two men
in Buffalo at which Gov. Cleveland offl-
ciated, as Sheriff. This is the first case
that We can recall when direct appeal
has been made by any newspaper to
thieves, burglars and murderers to vote
down . man because he performed his
simple duty as representative OF TIE
law. Cleveland hung these convicted
murderers in exactly the same sense that
the Judge hung them, that the jailor, the
night watch or the gallows itself hung
them. The Suns depraved sto-y may be
