A Democratic Editors Opinion of Cleveland

The Washington correspondent OF a
Texas Democratic paper has received a
roast from his editor. for having said a
good word for Cleyeiand's intentions.
Following are two extracts from this
editors letter: I'VE do not believe a word
OF the stated desire Of Cleveland to serve
the best interests of the country; do
not believe that the ablest financiers are
in aecord with him; do not believe that he
has right to draft bills for Congress to
enact, and do not believe he is patriot -
I'VE think the sdministra-
tion just about as rotten as anything in
the last half century"

Progress Of a Great Game In the Coffee
Market.

BALTIMORE, April S.-There Is In pro-
gress. or nearing its end. a battle royal
between coffee brokers on the bear side
OF the market and the famous and pow
erful Guzman Blanco. who is at the head
OF the Paris coffee clique.
Blanco has been winning money from
the bears during the past six months
and II seems that ne can now almost
dictate prices, II they desired 10 sell
Blanco and his party are. however, hold
ing their ownngs, and the coffee market
OF New York is dead.
Guzman Blanco is well known in rthis
city, having been educated at 81. Mary's
College here. He was once president Of
Venezuela, and Is about seventy-fve
years OF age. For several years he has
resided in Paris. He is said TO be worth
100000. and made most Of his money
out Of coffee. Nearly six months ago he
began buying coffee. The New York bears
were then squeezing the market, and
prices were down 10 ten cents per pound
for No. T. the usual commercial grade
They were then working on "A market
which offered about 100000 sacks. and
stated that the coming crop would be
larger. That crop. however, was very
small. only about 10000 sacks. The
bears kept at their work, and reports
crop would be something enormous. This
crop now, from advlces received here.
promises TO be less than $4,000 bags.
Blanco evidently had better information
than the New Workers, for he has been
steadily buying since September. when
ne started i'm at ten cents a pound. Since
then the price has gradually risen 10 fif-
teen and half cents a pound. Blanco,
IL Is said, holds about 10000 bags OF cOf-
fee, worth about 100000 at the present
price. The price has not changed much
during the past month, and Blanco could
have sold at a profit OF at least TWO and
a half cents pound II he so desired.
His refusal 10 sell indicates that he has
faith In his holdings, and is waiting
for further advance In prices. 1t IL gem
orally considered here that this is scarce
ly probable, as the United States fas a
fair supply of coffee, and her trading
vessels are experiencing lttlc dlihculiy
in securing cargces OF coffee from IRA
lillian ports. The dealings OF BlGncO have
had the effect OF weakening the bears,
who have lost heavily. ald killing New
York's market. Baltimore has not spf-
fertd The dealers here were believers
IN coffee and bought steadily. They have
reaped the reward, and made money
frcm the operatiCLs Of the New York
bears. At the present time there is In
stock here about 1850 bags of coffee,
witr several vessels OF the large reet
from this port. bound here from Rio,
Bahia, and Santos. with full cargoes.
They are, therefore. IN a position "a
gam either by the continued night of the
New York bears or Blanco's Inability 10

In June, 1852. during Mr.. Cleveland's
first administration. and at time when
rational conventions were approaching
and nominations were being sought, Mr.
Cleveland was accused OF precisely what
he is now accused by the Rev. Dr.
Peadlcton, the pastor OF a fashionable
church in Worcester. Mass. He was a
Young and very enthusiastic preacher
He went CT. 10 Washington in 1855 70 at
teud s5me sort OF a conference OF clergy
men. IL was when he returned 10
Worcester that he charged through a
newspaper that President CleveIInd was
a drunkard and iebauchee, and that
he abused Mrs. Cleveland.
Republican newspapers either simply
reIeated the story briefly or else lcss IL
alone entirely, bur IL was talked of
throughout the country. Mr.. Cleveland's S
friends In Massachusetts smLrted at the
insult, but hardly knew how TO refute il.

Cbauncey NJ. Depew, +. X. Coudert and
Others Defend the President.

NEW YORK. April S.-fndignation of
the intensest kind has been excited among
Democrats in New York and other cities
over the attack made on President Cleve-
land at the New England Methodist Con-
ference by the Rev. Or. |. j. Lansing, OF
Boston.
Many Of the leading Democrats and
Republicans, who attended the three
dinners at which MIR. Cleveland was
present between the time of his election,
in November 1892. and his inauguration.
in March. 1898, yesterday denounced the
story as "A lie, and in set terms expressed
their opinion of the American citizen
who. without the shadow OF proof, on
a simple hearsay statement, would ma
Hgn the character OF the President of
the United States.
The three dinners referred to were those
OF the Chamber OF Commerce, given at
Delmonicos on No"ember Is. 1882, din
ner at the home CT Henry Willard, two
days later. and that given by the Re
form Club on December 10, 1892.
Chauncey NJ. Depew said last night:
"There is only one reply that can be
made. TO such n story-it is absolutely
contemplate and absurd. At the Cham
Der of Commerce dinner | sat near Mr..
cleveland. | saw him from the time
he came i'm until he went away. l can
saw that he was absolutely sober and In
fun command OF his faculties. He con-
Quoted himself in the way that the world
at large would expect from the Presi-
dent OF the United States"
Frederick K. Coudert who was one OF
the leading men I'm the Reform Club
dinner OF 1892, had good deal to say on
the subject.
"The suggestion or the assertion that
President Cleveland was drunk is too con-
temptibie for notice." he said. II was
present at the Reform club dinner OF
that year. / sat next, or almost next
to the President. and l say that he. from
first to last, conducted himself as a
gentleman. and in a manner befitting his
high Office. To say that he was worse
for drink Is to utter a falsehoOd.
l.. Ellery Anderson said II was one
OF the guests at the dinner given by
Mr.. Willard i'm honor of President Cleve-
land. Incidentally. too. | presided at
the Reform Club dinner to which you
refer. on both these occasions. as on
every other, at which 1 have met Presi-
dent Cleveland during an acquaintance
OF many years. he conducted himself in
a way, il possible, TO increase the admi-
ration and respect OF his fellow-men.
We all felt proud Of our President. He
was, as always. a gentleman"

WHAT DIR. LANSING SAID.
The attack of Rev Dr. Lansing on the
President was made during temper
ance address before the New England
Methodist Conference. at Salem. In an
interview Yesterday al Boston. the cler-
gymcn explained his remarks thus;
II was speaking OF the fact that there
was a vast economic waste in the liquor
traffic. / proceeded 10 say that we de-
serve hard times, because we have raised

ter | said we have preached more or
less against the mistake of the children
of Israel In rejecting God and making
Saul their King. but We have raised 70

Some OF the papers quoted me as
saying that Cleveland was drunkard.
I won't say now that / dad not use that
EXPRESSION. | won't deny It, / did say
that the President, on the occasion or
the naval review last year, kept the en-
tire procession waiting for two hours or
more because he was TOO intoxicated 10
review IT,"
To the question whether he saw the
President himself. DR.. Lansing said he
knew nothing about Il until ten days
ago. when a public man who was present
hat ffF..r ~
person told him that President Cleveland
had become drunk at a public banquet
In New York city and that he had been
intoxicated upon other public occasions.
