Interview II IL notable fact that Mr. Cleveland has not
pneiolV made statement over his own signature DO

World and by his friends all VERY well; but Afew
words from Nv Cleveland also would be very timely
From the Ured PresG
The point which Cleveland seeks to evAde the coarse
way he spoke Of Dana but matter OF fact he used
ten times language than was credited to him In
the Published interview. None who know him we'll will
undertake TO deny that the sxPresdent uses profanity
frequently and that his conversation on very many
casions would not bear repeating in mixed company
He n not man who chooses his words. His denial OF
the interview has made public the fact that tho reporter
kinder to him than he deserved and that the bias
phemy and vulgarity would have never been known
had attempt been made to dscredit the published
statement
30 far the reporter is concerned no seems TO have
told straight storyl
The public can now take their choice.
