The Buffalo Times (Dem.), in defending
Cleveland In tho Maria Halpin case, says !;
Instead of being sent to an insane asylum,
Maria Halpin was placed in Sister Rojalino'5
asylum, comfortable and popular retreat
for inebriates, and the boy is being gcnor-
ously provided for"
II that is not a confession in full, THE
CRITIC would like to know what would be.
If Cleveland was not guilty, why did he
have Miss Halpin sent to au inebriate's re-.
treat, and why is he generously providing
for" her boy2 These questions spring in
voluntarily to the lips of every man who
reads the above and if Cleveland or his
friends have any better defense to make
than this, or that other one-that "ho did
not aaunt his connection with frail women
in the eyes Of the community lit Is time
they were giving it to the public. This
thing is fast crystallizing In the public mind
into firm belief that he is guilty as
charged. Even the New York Sun, strong
as has been its disposition to support the
Democratic nominee. more than intimates
that If this matter is not peremptorily do
MED, or satisfactorily explained, Mr.. Clove-
land ought to be taken Off the track and o
clean man nominated in his place. Since
the Democrats themselves have brought out
this foul and fostering scandal, and pub
lished some Of the focts in their papers, let
us have the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth.

Hendricks nv a sfraddIer.

In his speech at Saratoga, accepting the
nomination for the Vice.Presidency, Mr.. Hen
dricks said:
"For, at this time, the Senate OF the United
States stands almost equally divided between
two great parties shall so exactly differ that
the Vice.President of the United States shall
have to decide upon questions OF law by the
exercise OF the casting vote. tApplause.1 The
responsibility would then become very great.
1t would not then be tho responsibility of rep
resenting State or n District. II would be

Commenting upon this, the New York Trl.
bHne SAYS
"This is very neat advertisement OF AR.
Hendricks chief political accomplishment. As
q straddler on nearly every public question
during the last quarter of century he has
had no equal. Apparently he thinks his un-
rivalled experience justl1es the expectation
that with tho Senate equally divided between
the two great parties ho could succeed better
that anybody elso In making the casting vote

Mr.. CLEVELAND must be hold to strict
accountability for his oiienses against tho
interests of laboring men. A man who
could have the heart to veto bill to pre-
vent grinding corporation from exactiug
fourteen to seventeen hours per day of hard
labor for days work from its employees
would have the heart to grind down all
laboring men to point where they could
barely exist to say nothing about educat-
ing their children, or laying up something
to tide them over sickness, or provide for
helpless old age. His vetoes of the Five
Cent Fare bill and of the Twelve Hour
bill were the most heartless deeds ever
perpetrated by the executives of any of
our States. No laboring man, no humani-
tartan, no man who wishes to see the condl.
tion of our laboring classes bettered in any
respect, can ever vote for such man as
Grover Cleveland.
1t is not matter for display of deina-
gogy or for pandering to class preju-
judices, but for the serious consideration of
all men who would wish to aid in amelior.

who have to carry the heavy burdens of
life, and to help them to better aud a
more comfortable life.
The toilers are the classes who should
see to it that no man who has ever helped
to bind tighter tho burdens under which
so many of our people struggle along
through life shall ever reach tho chair of
the ChiefMagistrate of this great nation OF
toileis' No, wo want man Tor that post
who has struggled up life's dusty way
himself, and who can be touched with a
! feeling sense Of the burdens of the poor
and the hard worked. Then we will know
that when IL comes that he must decide be-
tween the rich aud the powerful aud the
poor and the humble, the rights and in
terests of tho latter will not be permitted
to be lrampled under foot by the grinding
corporations and pitiless monopoles which
stand ready on every hand to oppress aud
grind down the poor and the helpless.
Such man VIC believe James G. Blaine to
be--a man who will deal fairly and justly
with all classes and one who will at every
opportunity espouse the cause OF those who
are helpless and who are powerless to vim
dicate their own rights not that he is a
demagogue, but because he believes that

THE New York star OF Sunday last has q
paragraph of half dozen lines double
leaded-which states that Maria Halpin,
the mother Of Cleveland's illegitimate
child, is now stopping privately with a
friend at Now Rochelle, and that she has
consented to make aflidavits refuting the
story Of the Buffalo Telegraph at every es-
sential point. Very well. It's rather late
but let US have her story in full, for she un-
doubtedly knows all tho facts, and THE
CRITIC will give her fair hearing. In the
meantime it is well to remember that this
woman is not only partner OF Cleveland's,
but sold to him her child for the paltry sum
Of $500. If she would do that she would
surely barter her veracity for another $500.
Another thing: If she "deniges of it :"
she will make out many of Clevoland's
spologists TO be most atrocious liars. Many
of these have dpologised for the ex-Sheriff
in this matter, but not one of them has
denied his guilt. Ono says it was C a soli-
tary youthful indiscreton !" another says
he did not send his paramour "to an in
sane asylum, but to an inebriate retreat"
and q third says no has provided gener-
ously for her and the boy" while a fourth
claims that he did not "haunt his connec-
tion with her and other lewd women in the
face Of the public &C., &C., all cOnfessing
and avoiding, as the lawyers say, but none
denying.
But let us have Miss Halpin's story.
She shall have fair hearing.

Hon. /. p. BARRY, formerly Demo-
cratic member of the Illinois Legislature,
passed through this city few days since
on his way to Chicago. He will vote the
Republican ticket this year. He has been
making an extended business trip through
New York and New England, aud on being
asked why the Irish American Democrats
were opposing Cleveland he said:
"The opposition is upon purely American
grounds. Tho nomination OF the New York
Governor was great mistake on the part OF
the Democracy. Blaine would certainly have
polled large irish vote, no matter VINO op-
posed him, but Cleveland will drive away
more Irish votes from the Democratic party
than any other candidate could have done,
and the reason is that ho has shown himself
10 be narrow'minded politician on ali ques.
tlons Affecting the interests OF labor. There Is
no denying tho fact that there Is a revolt In
both parties. The difference, as have found
IL, Is this: The opposition to Blaine, except In
n few instances, comes from men who are pro.
fesslonal politicians. The opposition to Glove
land is entirely among mon who are labor5rs
and mechanics. This Is true In all the great
cities of New York, Buffalo, Rochester, Syra.
cuse, Utica, Troy, especially Troy. Our peo-
pie In Troy ere perhaps, then, most emphatic
In their opposition and their votes Will be cast
solldly against him."
Mr.. D. was asked If he, as Democrat,
believed that Blaine would carry New
York He replied that he did, and that he
fervently believed that he would be elected;
that the detection from Cleveland of work
ingmen and Irishmen would offset the In.
dependents, two to one. He also said that
the stories of Germans deserting Blaine wa;
all humbug; that he found the Republican
Germans just as enthusiastic for Blaine aud
Logan as they ever had been for Garfield
and Arthur.
Mr.. Barry will carry with him many o
his countrymen, for he Is a man of high
standing in the community in which h.
lives.

some adjectives. In fact the Secretary of

The most crushing blow the Democratic
nominee for President has received as yet
has just been delivered by the National
Eight-Hour Committee Of the labor organi-
cations of the Union. That committee has
prepared circular to every trade organiza-
tion of the country advising the members
thereof to vote against Grover Cleveland,
the Democratic nominee FOR President, aad
for James G. Blaine, the Republican nomi-
nee for the same position. Tho committee
has been induced to take this position aud
to make this recommendation by the fol-
lowing considerations:
The Democracy, In their platform OF 1881,
have but the slightest alluslon TO labor. Their
real Views were shown In two acts, viz:
First-ln the overwhelming vote by which
tho labor plank offered by General Butler was
rejected; and
Second In their nomination of Grover
Cleveland over the united protest OF tho vari.
Gus trade unions Of New York, thereby adding
insult to Injury.
This crushing document is signed by ex-
Congressman Murch, rs chairman of the
committee, who was formerly elected to
Congress by the Democrats OF Maine, and
