The Democratic papers are making a
great ado over the reception of Grover
Cleveland at Buffalo 1t was a pre-ar-
ranged affair, and party adherents from
every part of the State iwere urged
and importuned to attend to give. it u
color Of responsibility as to numbers
There was nothing spontaneous or sincere
about it. The whole affair shows that
when any enthusiasm is affected for
Cleveland it is manufactured for the oc-
casion. They make a flourish, too, of his
being invited to reception at the resi-
dence of a society lady. The thing was
so rare that Cleveland was extended this
courtesy. whole columns of headlines had
to be employed to announce it. That is
condemnation sure enough. The very
means. used to give the affair an air Of re-
spectability, shows the social standing
of the Democratic candidate. Moth
ing could be more humiliating to
gentleman than to have it paraded before
the public as something extraordinary that
he had been invited to the house of a
lady. 1t evidences that it was something
out OF the order of things, and is testi-
mony sufficient that Cleveland is the
moral leper'' he has been represented by
his own party friends to be. Yetaasshe is
the model of a Democratic reformer.

Philadelphia Press Henry L. Nelson,
private secretary 10 Speaker Carlisle, de-
clared that Cleveland had written letter
announcing himself in entire accord with
Morrison IIurd. Carlisle. Watterson and
other Free-traders on the tariff question.
Cleveland denied having uttered any such
sentiments, and the New York World pro
nounced Nelson an unmitigated liar. Mel
son reiterated hisstatement. and there was
a heavy Democratic demand for his dis
missal by the speaker. in response to which
Carlisle says Mr.. Nelson will continue as
his private secretary. In other words,
Speaker Carlisle morally vouches for the
truth Of his secretary's charges. and Cleve-
land and his zealots are practically accused
Of resorting to falsehood to shield "a Free
trade candidate for president from the con-
sequences Of his written opinions. There

The charges against Cleveland have no
foundation, according to the New York
World, except the fiimsy one Of bygone
indiscretions. A similar plea might have
been urged in behalf of the two men that
Cleveland hung. But for their ''bygone
indiscretions' they would not have been
noosed, and Mr.. Cleveland would have
missed the handsome sum he received for
putting and end to them.

Stephen A. Bravo, Master Steamer Anita:
SIR -We herewith render our decision
in the case of the United States vs., The
steamers Anita and Princess for coils
ion. The charge, violation of Rule L of
the rules and regulations for the govern
ment of pilots, we find that the steam
ers Anita and Princess, on the night of
May q. 1894, were approaching e2ch
other in the first position as laid down in
the rules and regulations for the govern
ment of pilots. The Princess blew one
whistle anC received one in reply from
the Anita; when the steamers were
within one hundred or one hundred and
fifty feet of each other, the course of the
Princess was changed from port to star
board, bringing the Princess across the
bow of the Anita. This is in violation of
all rules laid down for the government
of steam vessels. 1t further appears from
the evidence produced on this investiga-
ton that the steamer Anita was slowed
down and all possible means taken to
avoid the collision, and after the collision
every effort appears to have been made
by the Anita to save the lives of the two
passengers who were thrown in the riv-
er, one of whom was picked up by the
Anitas boat We find the special pilot
of the Princess, Richard w. Lucas.
guilty of the violation of Rule L of the
rules, whereby Edward R. Hall, of Bos-
ton, Mass, lost his life, and revoke his
license. We exonerate Master Stephen
y. Bravo, of the steamer Anita, of any
blame in the collision.
