CAN any one give good reason why
the sellers of beer and whiskey should
be given special trade privileges not
enjoyed nor demanded by the sellers of

Mr. Depew In reply. The whole of the crcum-
stances surrounding the statement alleged 10 have
been made By me have been grossly misrepresented
The actual facts are these In company with a
few others ! attended dinncrparty given at the
house of mutual friend about fortnight ago. After
the ladies' had left the room conversation drffted
on the various stories In circulation regarding Mrs
Cleveland, in which Mr. Wattersons name occurs
I repeated MI. Wattcrson's story as one generally
spoken of, and a matter of fact 1t has been given
to me from many different sources. have heard
II in Chicago, St. Louis and NewYork / did not
give my personal sanction TO the story could
not have done so, inasmuch as l had received
It only at fftieth.hand. and l should not
have done so for the that / do not
believe word of 1t, and gave expression to that dis
belief at the time.
"whcnever the story repeated to me was told
that II had from Watterson and merely related
that Circumstance in a general way. At the dinner
party in question: only SIX gentlemen were present,
and Of these has since informed me that he has
received Watterson's denial. / say again that the
story, told to Mrs. Whitney, is lie; that ld not
