THE CLETELAND ARTICLE.
Colonel Patterson Renezcs HIS At
tacks on It's Authenticitg.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Louisville Sept. 1G-Uuder the heading The
Dissertation of the Dead Mr.. Watterson will at
tack viciousy in The CONFECTIONERY in the
morning the authenticity of the Cleveland article
which was published August 60 His first dig at
the publication of the article is that in the advance
notices it was asserted that the manuscript was
obtained from Frederick s. Hastings, the executor
of Mr.. Cleveland estate
Mr. Watterson says: In the first place the ex-
ecutor of Mr. CIeveland's estate is not Frederick
but Frank Hastings, whose wife is niece Of
E c. Benedict" Mr. Watterson continues in an
argumentative way TO show that the people close
to the CIevelands have had Zen days to let the
world know whether the article genuine or not.
but that they have failed TO do
Mr. Watterson attacks the style and language
used as not being -C1eve!andesque, and in closing
he quotes an extract that he can hardly reconcile
as being from Mr.. CleveIand's pen. It is:
The South has long taken a stubborn, foolish
pride in its enlistment under the Democracy,
and has stood like rock in its partISanshIp.
Mr.. Watterson adds
1t is simply inconceivabIe that. after the sup
port MIR Cleveland received from the Southern
peopIe-thrice their nominee for President and
twice elected President of the United States by
them-that he should. without relevance rea-
son thus rebuke and insult them for holding to
eraI oppression and negro rule, party that had
twice made him President, and Sin its last
tonal convocation most signally honored his
memory.

THREE CURES OF
 SEVERE ECZEMA
Michigan Woman Tells OfHer Broth CTS Terrible Suffering with the Disease-GrandChiId and Another Baby also Permanently Cured,
CUTICURA REMEDIES
 PROVED INVALUABLE

"My brother had eczema three dif- ferent summers. About tho same time each summer it came out between his shoulders and down his back, and he said his suffering was terrible. He used diff ierent kinds of medicines that were said to be good for that disease, but nothing seemed to do him much good. When it came on the third summer, he bought box of Cuticura Ointment and gave it a faithful trial. Soon he began to feel better and he cured himself entirely with Cuticura and has never been bothered with eczema since. He also used Cuticura to cure bunch over his eve and a terrible corn which was so bad that he could not wear his shoe. A lady in Indiana heard of how my daugh- ter, Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son of terrible eczema by the Cuticura Remedies. This ladys little one had the eczema so badly that they thought they would lose it. She used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and it cured her child entirely, and the disease never came back.
