Misrepresentation of the dead presi-
dent circulated AZ a campaign docu-
ment. The New York Times has been
forced to admit that 1t DETAINED Mr..
Clevelands' memory when It pub

face the evidence that it was a crude
forgery. doing violence to the known
sentiments Of Mr. Cleveland. ! found
that most OF Mr.. Cleveland's friends
and nearly all the newspaper mea bc-
lieved it to be a fake. Mrs. Cleveland
has protected the memory of her dis
