DANA MADE AN ISSUE.
Republican Eagerness to Sling Mud at
Mr.. Cleveland.

Republican Eagerness to Sling Mud at
MIR. Cleveland.
The desperate desire of the protec-
tionfsts to divert public attention from
the tariff question is singularly illus
trated by the eagerness with which the
Republican papers have backed up the
New York Suns blackguard assaults on
ex President Cleveland. That paper
has recently been publishing coarse and
disgusting falsehoods concerning an al
legged enormous increase in Mr.. Cleve-
lands weight Even if they had been
true, the stories are such as could not
have found their way into any decent
newspaper. A reporter of the World
was sent to inquire if Mr..
Cleveland had any, thing to say
In response to these stories. Mr..
Cleveland wrote out and handed to the
reporter paragraph, saying that he
had not seen the article, as he never
reads the Sun, but that he judged from
what the reporter told him that the
editor of the Sun had at last hit on a
subject that he supposed would annoy
him (Cleyeland). The reporter pub
lished this as merely part of a long in
terview, in which Mr.. Cleveland was
represented as denouncing Mr.. Dana in
languagerthat was at once vigorous and
coarse.
Mr. Cleveland repudiated the inter-
view and the World, after investigation,
editorially declared that it was con-
WINGED that its reporter had misrepre-
scented the ex-President. The Sun,
which had already replied to the alleged
dennnciation of its. editor in language
as vituperative as that attributed to Mr..
Cleveland, pretended to believe the re-
porter and intimated that Mr.. Clever
land and the editor of the World were
bothlying about the matter. The Re-
publican papers have eagerly accepted
the Suns idea and weekly paper, pub
.lished by firm in which President Har-
rison's son is partner, prints conspicu-
ously letter in which the reporter says
that Mr., Cleveland said all that he at
tributed to hi0 and roundly cursed Mr.
Dana The correspondent himself,
however, makes it plain that the writ
ten memorandum Is all that he had
authority to publish as coming from Mr.
Cleveland; and that the other things he
printed are merely his recollections OF
an alleged private conversation between
himself and Mr.. Cleveland. That is to
say, he confesses himself blackguard
in order to- show that he is mot liar.
Tie public is not likely to believe such
q man when his word is pitted against
that of one Of the most honest and
fearless public men that our country
has ever known.
The alacrity with which the Repub-
loan papers have taken this matter up
shows, as we have said, how eager they
are to escape the discussion Of the real

descriptive powers has won lasting
fame, now resides with her mother and
sister at the old homestead in Tennes-

deaf to all overtures on the part of her
many admirers looking to marriage.
Gail Hamilton is too much wrapped up
in her self-independence ever to give
the subject of matrimony a moments

great public knows, is too much in love
with journalism to believe she would be
happier as the wife of any living man.
The Cary sisters, Phoebe and Alice,
never married, but dwelt together all
their lives, each bound up in the love OF
the other. There was bond Of close

oignation was extreme. Even before
the unconscious man was pronounced
still alive several were making toward
the she'd in search Of rope. The re-
port OF Fizzletops pistol had quickly
attracted a number of spectators, and
to these Dad Tangle was expounding
on the keenness Of his perception Of
character, and his ability in particular
to detect horse-thief "at first sauint. >,
Strange to say, Fizzletop seemed to
take the affair more calmly than the

had been returned to the shed, there

was not to be shaken by mere sentiment

Dad Tangle had just delivered him

had been seen making off with the horse
no trial was needed when one of the
