forced to admit that it DETAINED Mr..

urally Mrs. Cleveland and the execu-
tor of the late Ex-Presidents estate
have come forward and exposed this
most villainous misrepresentation of
the memory of dead president with.

Speaking OF the exposure of the
chairman OF the Press Bureau, said:
Il was in New York when the Times
printed the fraudulent Cleveland let
ter. To my mind. it bore upon its
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 men be
lieved it to be fake. Mrs Cleveland
has protected the memory of her dis
tinguishel husband by her course in
the matter for the letter. as pub

and to his public career was in
formed at the time that the forged
letter was offered to the New York
, Herald and to the New York World
but they refused to touch it. The
New York Times has a good motto
"All the news that's fit to print."-lt
would do well to add-"no fake stor-
les printed that other journals refuse
Those Republicans who have been
! spending money derived from trusts
to circulate the fraudulent Cleveland
letter must. If honest, spend as much
money to circulate pamphlets saying
that the letter they circulated was
clumsy fraud"
Post Card System.
When Mr.. Taft learned that the
mountain would not come to Mahomet,
ne decided that Mahomet must go to
the mountain. When he found that
the people would not come to him and
listen to his speeches from the golf
links at Hot Springs and from the
front porch of Brother Charles pala-
tial residence in Cincinnati, he deter
mined to go out among the people.
Apparently however, there is grave
fear among the Republican leaders
that their candidate will not be gladly
received by the people. In order 10
overcome this difficulty and in an eff
fort to bring out a crowd to greet Mr.
Taft, the Chicago managers have
found it necessary to send out postal
card notices to the faithful, begging
them to go to the railroad station and
, give the distinguished visitor "a cor
dial welcome" During the past few
days prominent Republicans have re-
ceived the following notice from Fred
w. Upham. assistant treasurer OF the
Republican National Committee:
Chicago, September 81, 1908.
Hon. VIM H. Taft, the Republic
can partys candidate for president
and the peoples choice, will arrive
in Chicago Wednesday (September
e3l evening at o'clock, at the La
Sale Street station of the l.. S. &
NJ. S. Ry. Please be at the station
with your friends and give him
| cordial welcome. 1t will be Mr..
Tafts first visit since the famous
convention which nominated him
for president. Very truly yours.
Fred. W. Upham.
Small Hall for Taft.
To give Mr. Taft an opportunity TO
explain his attitude toward labor and
his Injunction record, in a city where
hundreds of thousands of laboring men
are Interested in what he has to say,
the Republicans selected hall with
a capacity of less than 1000 and pro-
yided for admission by card only, In
order than none but those who agree
with him might be allowed to enter.
This hall was selected in the heart OF
the business section after an option
on a hall with 5000 capacity in the
center of the working mems district
had been refused. The inference Is
plain that the Republican managers
feared to have their candidate appear
in distinctively laboring district
where all who would might come and
hear. lest the great welcome planned
for might be turned into a demonstra-
ton for his political opponent or that
Mr.. Taft might be asked embarrassing
questions.
Stamping Falls Flat.
The fact of the matter Is that MI.
Taft's stumping experiment has ia'leh
fat; he has produced absolutely ho
enthusiasm among the voters ana ne
has said or done nothing which VIII
improve his chances. Republicans are
unable to conceal their feelings OF ais
appointment over the poor sho"lhs
which their candidate has made MT
Taft's progress thus far, and tho man
nor in which he has been received Is
complete vindication of those fep"o
lican leaders who from the hrst OPP
posed the plan of having him take 10
the rear platform. They advocate"
