tFrom the Atlanta Journal
New YORK, April Isl had talk
with Mr.. Cleveland yesterday and he
authorized me to deny in the Journal
tue silly aud undignifed charges
against Dana that the New York World,
in an alleged Interview, put IN his
mouth, and which was telegraphed by
the United Press. Ever since Cleve-
land, "a Governor of Sew York, refused
TO appoint one of Dana's pets the aged
literary autocrat of the Sun has waged
a savage and miserable war. upon the
great Democratic leader. To revenge
himself on Mr.. Cleveland he has not
hesitated to stab the Democratic party
III the back and fight it when it stood
in the gravest peril. Hence his iniquit-
ous alliance with Ben Butler, and his
treachery in "a and 'SS.
The Latest Attack.
Aud now having exhausted all other
weapons in the armory Of revenge and
Cleveland's fat. Fat, he holds, ruined
Napoleon and France and will ruin the
Democrats; he fills his paper with such
stuff, saying Cleveland is taking treat
ment for fat, and that he gains twenty
five pounds month. AS a matter of
fact, this silly charge is false. Cleve-
land Is not so stout to-day as when
saw him in Charleston in SS. He is in
al active and happy condition, and has
more brains and common sense to his
weight than any public man in America
The Sun growing worse, the World,
eager for sensation, went to Cleveland
for au interview.
What Cleveland Did Say.
Mr.. Cleveland wrote out the following
for publication, and this only:
Il have not seen the article you refer
TO. and if it appears nowhere else but
OF my seeing it. Of course the entire
thing is lie, without the least pretext
70 excuse it. Judge from what you
sIy that the venerable editor of the Sun
supposes that lie has at last hit upon a
subject which can be used to annoy
me. La this he is mistaken. He must
be his own Judge of social dec, ncies
and proprieties. / am not sure that he
should, at his time of life and his ap-
parcntly peculiar mental condition, be
molested in his amusement"
The Worlds Mean Work.
This was all, but the World published
almost column interview, bringing IL
Ms. Cleveland, charging Dana witt
being thief, and giving Cleveland 4
opinion, so-called, on a number of sub
jects. All this miserable stuff Mr.
Cleveland authorizes me to deny as un
qualifiedly false.
What have given as his interview i
all he gave the World. The remainde
is fiction of miserable quality.
But this is not all Of the World
meanness Its editor pledged his word
learn, that he would next day publisl
a correction of the interview which h.
acknowledged was false. PreferrinI
sensationalsm to truth or honor, or no
having the moral courage to right
falsehood, the World has permitted it
batch of lies to go uncorrected. Dana
in yesterday mornings Sun, poured on
a flood of bile against Cleveland, tn
cause of which is the Worlds lies, tina
it hasn't had the courage to correct
The Recent Elections.
| asked Mr.. Cleveland what the Dem
ocratic victories in Rhode Island, Ne
York, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa and Montan
indicated with reference to 1892 ID
replied: "The republicans say they al
due to local causes. 1t is strange thi
local causes should start at the Atlanti
and make their victories sweep acros
the continent, a pretty big localit
there The truth is, there is underly

of Democracy triumphing against rel
