The Attacks on Mr.. Cleveland.

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch !
NEW YORK. April 23.-For the past two DAYS
other newspapers than the World and Sun have
joined in the controversy growing out of the
suns Washington dispatch about the alleged
increasing obesity of ex-President Cleveland
1t has in fact become an ordinary quarrel be-
tween the newspapers. MIR. Cleveland posi-
lively refuses to be interviewed on the matter.
The Commercial Adgertiser to-day discussing the
matter remarks 1.-THE friends and admirers
of Mr.. Cleveland were disposed to regret at first
blush that he so far lost his balance as to saw
oae solitary word in reply the ceaseless taunts
OF the Sun 1t is true that not only what he &C.
tually said but what he was reported to have
SAID was Just what every decent man in the
country thinks. If what the self-respecting men
of this country-Republican and Democrats
alike-think of the New York Sun and it's course
toward Mr.. Cleveland, could find its way into
print, the World reporter would blush at the
tameness of his story of last Thursday
What kind OF man, after all would we
have Mr.. Cleveland be? A bloodless Uriah
Keep, squlrmlng and wriggiing under the unre
Sented kicks too humble to nourish fl re in his
blood That is the kind of a man that one
wants as friend. Is it not just possible that
he is trif1e too prudent Have the worlds
heroes been men who weighed every word with
view 10 future risks 1t will be found that
Grover Cleveland has grown in the esteem of
the American people by planting mis- heel on
the head OF the viper AS venomous as he is
ignoole who, crawling on his belly, spends the
remnant of an embltLered and disappointed life
swapping, in blind and impotent rage at the
heels OF all men eminent enough to cast their
lofty shadow atnwart his tortuous path

Public Opinion in Philadelpbia.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Disnatch !
PHILADELPHIA, April 23.-The North american
Republican in politics. says: public opinion
and sympathy will be generally and heartily
with ex-President Cleveland in the protest
which he has been constrained into expressing
against the wanton personal attacks of which
the New York Sun has made him the object.
These attacks have been no less unwarranted
than unseemly. Mr.. Cleveland is not now i'm
public life, and he has the same right as any
other private citizen to expect and require that
his privacy shall be respected. Yet even were
1t otherwise, even were he still the occupant of
public place, the vituperation of the Sun has
been OF such character as to admit neither of
justification nor defense. There is a proprietv
in these things which Self-respecting men will
never fail to observe, and while descent to
certain personalities may be forgiven if it is
committed during the heat of campaign. il
becomes inexcusabe when resor5ed to in the
deliberation of cold blood and studied malice.
Mr.. Cleveland, however, may, If he pleases,
console himself with the thought that vulgar
abuse such as the sun has INDUCED in cannot
injure him. Americans are not wanting in ore n
crosby nor intelligence, and in the reaction
against the manner in which he is being treated
by his journalistic enemy the ex-President will
gain more than he III lose -
