CLEVELAND'S VIEW
Ofthe New York State Ticket Said to be
Decidedly in Its Favor.
NEW YORK. Oct. 1

NEw YORK, Oct. 6.
Buffalo dispatch saws that for several
days rumors have been current there that
President Cleveland had written a letter "a
friend in that city strongly endorsing the
democratic State ticket. The letter was
dated the day after the adjournment OF the
Saratoga convention and was written to one
OF the former associates of the President. All
attempts 10 see the letter by press represen-
tatlves have been futile, as ii is generally un-
derstood that the Pre- sident regarded the let
ter AS confidential and not intended for the
press. Ii has, however, awakened consider
able enthusiasm among the ardent supporters
of Mr.. Cleveland in Buffalo. A gentleman
who has seen the letter says the text is sub
stantially as follows:
Naturally you will desire to know how |
regard the ticket you just nominated at Sara.
toga. Gov. Hill and Messrs. O'Brien, Chaplin
and Sweet YOU are aware, are warm personal
friends of mine and would be the last one To
wish them any i'll in November. With Mr.
Cook and Mr.. Fitzgerald | have only a pass
ing acquaintance. Their friends tell me they
are worthy men and from all can learn from
other sources l believe this TO be the truth
hnd myself thus in a singular position.
am quoted very extensively as not being in
harmony with the ticket This is no surprise
to me for such allegations were made when
was in Albany and year before came to
Washington. Not deeming them worthy OF
notice then, shall surely pay no public at
tention to these allegations now. always
voted the democratic ticket and expect to vote
for Gov Hill and aid his election by personal
and not official influences. With me no dill
erence OF the past ever existed that would
allow me to SO far forget myself AS to wish
any political harm to a single member of the
New \ ork State ticket. This is the position
take and do You not think it is good one !?
| firmly believe that iGov. Hills personal
friends, as well as my own, understand Just
my feelings, moves and hopes for democratic
success this fall
AT the White House in Washington today,
1t was declared that the letter on the New
York State election purporting to have been
written by the President to friend in But
falo, is forgery. The only utterance the
President has made on the subject was an
answer which he dictated to Col Lamont
his private secretary, to be made To any
query sent him by correspondents and was as
follows:
The President is democrat and il il
strange that any person should question his
position. He earnestly desires the success
OF his party i'll the pending elections in New
York as well as elsewhere, and any assertion
TO the contrary is utterly and maliciously y
false.

SERIOUS CHARGES
Against the Integrity of Heath Il Co..
Suit Brought by N. Morisini.
New YORK. Oct. 6.

NEW ORk, Oct D.
The World says: Notw twithstanding the
high character aud credit of Wm. Heath &
Co., who for twenty years have been ranked
among the first-class houses in Wall street,
there have been made now that the house has
failed serious charges against the Integrity
of the firm. Direct charges come from a few
of the creditors, bu, there is also criticism in
various other quarters. How comes il, il is
asked, that this firm holding vast sums on
deposit, for many customers, should risk
everything in order TO protect one of its Gus
toners. How is it that James Low, ex-dry
goods merchant, for instance, is made TO
suffer 20 the amount of S400, 900. when the
firm permits Henry n. Smith TO become its
debtor to the amount of Sl.250, 900 In other
words, the firm is criticised for having allow
ed itself TO become absorbed in the transac-
tions of one daring operator who was putting
his strength against the whole market for he
was selling short while prices were advanc-
ing. On the other hand. surprise is express
ed that men like Low and others should have
continued their deposits with firm known to
be involved in the transactions of Henry NJ.
Smith. Yesterday many serious charges
were made. The case of G 2. Morisini, who
has attached the property of the firm, appears
TO be much more serious than was at first re-
pOiNCu' NlOIlrinI, III us WOEU dIleSdtlOu
against Heath & Co. says that on the second
day of October, 1885, the day of the failure,
plaintiff Morisini duly demanded from the
defendant, composing the firm of VIM. Heath
& Co., the delivery of said stocks aud bonds
So, 1872, 900 Manhattan stock and S23, 900
second mortgage bonds of the Metropolitan
Elevated, and thereupon the defendants
promised 10 deliver the same according TO
agreement, in few minutes, but late in the
day it is said the defendants refused to de-
liver the same, and have not delivered the
same or any part thereof, but admitted they
had placed and hypothecated the same for
their own purpose.
Il. L. Morisinl began AN action in the SUI
preme court against the firm of VIM. Heath
& Co., and its assigns, and has obtained an
injunction restraining the defendants and
their agents from making any transfer, paw
ment or delivery or other disposition of the
1850 shares of capital stock of the Manhat-
tan Railroad Co., and 25 second mortgage
bonds of the Metropolitan Elevated Railroad
Co., except SO far the same may restrain
any officer or committee of the stock exchange
from performing his or its duties under the
constitution and bylaws of the exchange. NJ.
Morisini claims that these stocks were pur-
chased for him. and that if they were dis
posed of during the pendency of this suit, his
rights would not be protected and he would
be irreparably injured.
