"When Cleveland was running for the
Presidency Ben Folsom opposed him with
ali hls might, He worked against and
voted against him. When the endesvor
was made to Gx the paternity Of Maria
Halpin'a child upon Mr.. Folsom, the dead
partner OF Mr. Cleveland, Ben Folsom
wrote q card, which was printed in
in the. 4AdrsrtiStri and It was Touser. He
protested against the endeAvor to put Oft
upon the memory Of the dead man such 0
responsibility and such stain, and assert
ed that Cleveland was the responsible
man and no other man."
Now, when Cousin Ben's nomination
comes up In the Senate for confirmation,
the Senators should consider this letter
and Ben's ConFse in working against Mr..
Cleveland. Should they Couhrm man
who has behaved 10 badly toward the
President as Cousin Ben has, and written
such anaughty letter about himP Per.
hspa they may determine to defend and
