Cleveland Receives Many Kind Mes
sages-Is Pleased With Boies' Tele-
gram-How He Acted When He
Heard it was Stevenson-He Cheer
ishes no Bad Feelings.
BUzzARDs BAY, June 24.-Mr. Cleve
land spoke particularly the number
of kilograms from prominent men
who have been classed among the
active opponents of his nomination.
He read the kilograms and gave the
names of the seuders. All his COM
ments were of a kindly conciIiatory
nature.
To judge from Mr.. Cleveland's s man
ner, one would not think he treasures
the slightest animosity against some
of the men who have been virulent in
their antagonism. That he feel keenly
certain attacks of a purely personal
nature persistently make upon him is
evident, but his mind seems to soar
above mere local or personal consid.
erations, and it is quite safe to affirm
| with ardor dampered by no remem-
brances of past events.
AS Mr.. Cleveland read through the
great bundle of messages he came to
a telegram which caused him great
| satisfaction.
81 am deeply sensible" he said, "of
the kindly spirit displayed in this
message. Yes, | appreciate this very
highly. The writer not indulging in
mere compliment"
The telegram was as follows:
DEs MONIES, June 23.
Hon. Grover Cleveland: Accept
hearty congratulations of all Iowa
Democrats. Be assured that no one
will be more devoted to you than
myself, and this, | am proud to think,
applies to my friends in this State.
| HORACE BOIEs.
Plunging deeply into the pile of
yellow paper, Mr.. Cleveland came to
a dispatch which awakened other
emotions than those aroused by the
evidently sincere message from the
Governor of Iowa. 1t was dated De-
troit Mr.. Cleveland's whole manner
changed as he pursued the brief text.
His voice lowered and evinced tender
interest.
sIt is from little friend of whom
Mrs. Cleveland and think very much
She is a sweet little thing. And then
he read, as follows:
A great deal of love. / am very
happy. FRANCES DIcKINsoN.
"She is daughter of my friend,
Don Dickinson. She is not a politi-
clan, this little miss, and she means
all she writes"
The unique telegram of the day
came to Mrs. Cleveland. The ex-
President laughed heartily when he
read it, and observed:
"Here is originality for you"
Ny hearts desire now is to see the
finger prints and the lip stains OF
Baby Ruth upon the White House
window panes.
A telegram that displayed much
prescience on the part of the writer,
and which certainty impressed Mr.
Cleveland, because he read it over
twice, then laid it down, lifted it up
and read it again, was this:
Troy, n. j., June %.
Hon. Grover Cleveland: The World
says the next President must be a
Democrat. The Chicago Convention
has made it sure that the next Pres
ident will be Democrat. You have
my congratulations.
j. j. TILLINGHAST.
From Richmond, Va, came a tele
gram to which Mr. Cleveland referred
1t was signed by III. r. Pollard and
read:
Opponents to the nomination here
will be foremost in the work to elect
you.
Mr.. Cleveland appeared to attach
Importance to a telegram dated Man
chester, Mass 1t was from ex-Sena
tor Eustis, of Louisiana, and its text
was:
"Accept my sincere congratula
tions,"
