EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, Nov. %.
To Honorable j. j. Van Allen:
Ny DEAR Snt-The secretary of state
has submitted TO me your letter of the 10th
inst in which you tender your resignation
as ambassador to Italy. | hasten to eX-
press my earnest wish that you will recon
slider this conclusion. The sentiments
contained in your letter do credit to your
conscience and Americanism, but you
must allow me to dissent from their ap-
plication in this case.
l did not select you for nomination to
the lCalian mission without satisfying my
self of your entire fitness for the place. am
now better convinced of your fitness than
ever. You know, and | know, that all the
malignant criticism that has been INDUCED
in regarding this appointment has no JUS
LITIGATION and that the decent people who
have doubted its propriety have been mis-
led, or have missed the actual cOnsidera-
tions upon which it rests. We should not
yield to the noise ard clamor which have
arisen from those coalitions.
My personal preference should enter
very slightly into your final determination,
but so far as have such preference, it is
emphatically that you should accept the
honorable Office conferred upon you and
vindicate in the discharge of its duties the
wisdom and propriety of your selection.
Awaiting your early reply, i am yours
sincerely. GROVER CLEVELAND.

To the President:

OF your letter of the 22d inst In reply
allow me to thank you most sincerely and
heartily for the very kind and flattering
sentiments you express. For the reasons
have already stated in my letter to the
secretary of state and which were reached
only after long and serious consideration
of the subject / feel that / cannot accept
the high Office to which l have been ap-
pointed.
My only regret in this decision, which l
must beg you to consider as final is that
it is contrary to the personal preference
which you so kindly expressed. But can
not think it would be advisable for me to
invite further misrepresentation by taking
advantage of your generosity. Again
thanking you for your most gracious
words, .isd with an earnest hope for the
continuance of the successes which have
already marked your second administra-
ton, ! beg to remain, sir, with much re-
spect Your obedient servant

tiOns and charities and of county agents

session was enlivened by paper read
by DR.. j. H. Vikings, agent for Ing

ton of sentencing to the state school
was up. Bishop Gillespie, chairman of
the state board, took exceptions and
moved that the recommendation be
struck from files.
After that debate the question went
over until today. At the session in the
evening Governor Rich spoke on the
work of Michigan for criminal and I'M
fortunate, saying that this state was o.
the first rank in all work, save for
feeble minded, and that would soon be
changed, home having been ordered.
Justice Grant of the supreme court at
tackled the method of sentencing Grim
inals, advocating uniform sentences
for the same grade of crime.
