Sheriff Cleveland. wuz sent to see her

that the statement Nv that Baptist min
lister, Ball,uv Buffalo, concerning her and
Cleveland, was fabricashen, and don't
want to do it agin. Ez 1 entered her
home on the Hudson, she wuz singin to
her boy, the follerin tetchin ditty:

And it may be, dear, your fate,

She remarkt to me that Grover wuz
not espeshly ashamed Nv her, but she wuz
most hartily ashamed NV Grover, and ut
terly refoozed to make any statement

suffer in silence, ez other unforchnit VIM
men he'd done afore. However Their wuz
sum consolashen. So long ez the names
of Henry Ward Beecher and Grover
Cleveland wuz remembered, so long wood
Marian Halpin and Elizabeth Tilton be
attached to EN-. They wuz the tin kit
ties tied to the two biggest dorgs Nv the
age, and the dorgs coodent move without
the tin kittles rattlin. She still he'd
hopes that Cleveland wood do her jestis.
She wuz eggspectin every day that he
wood send for her son, Oscar Folsom
Cleveland, to accompany him in his toors
thro the kentry, and likewise that shood
he be electid he wood take both Nv EN- to
the White House.
"Yoo kin easily comprehend, sed she,
"Why stick to the truth in this matter.
Eff tell a lie and deny the trooth Nv
Rev. Balls statemenee, | hev no elaine
on him after his eleckseun. Then l don't
think that his affair with me will lose him
any votes anyhow. The Southern DIM
ocrisy, witch remember Their privileges
when they owned male servance and fe-
male servance, will not mind little

sides this the Dimocrisy, sence this mat
ter wuz made public, are not maxim NOR
ais the ishoo this year. They perpose to
make it the ishoo sum other yeer but will
not do it this yeer.''
