0 FALSE AND HIDEOUS. The Stories of a Scandal in the White House Entirely Refuted. A Most Intimate Friend ofthe \ Family Brands Malicious Mendacity. The Couple Shown to Be Lov ing- and Affectionate to a Marked Degree. Mrs. Whitney Tells an Inter esting- Story of the Pres ident's Home Life. " Washington, Dec. 7.— Tlie corre spondent of the Chicago Tribune tele graphs his paper as follows: For more thau a year, the" 'most scandalous and distressing stories concerning the home relations of the president of the United Slates have been current. These stories in one form or another, but always black and hideous, have been passed from mouth to month. Nearly every one has heard them, and occasionally they have found their way into print. At the St. Louis convention which nom inated President Cleveland for re-elec tion a pamphlet in which these stories were summarized in a sweeping and savage fashion was secretly circu lated by Democrats from New York. During the campaign no Re publican journal of good standing made the slightest reference to the stories, which, if true, would utterly disgrace and remove beyond the pale of gentle men the president of the United States. Since the election, however, "a journal - GPtOvSPI CI.CVES.AND conspicuously friendly to the president —the New York Times— has seen lit to print a general and indefinite resume of the scandalous rumors, and in the same article to attribute the president's de feat for re-election to the secret and malignant use made of the scandals by the Republicans in New York and else where. The president and sev eral of his intimate friends have been asked to deny these stories once and for all, but through motives of delicacy and propriety have declined to do so. "let the stories have continued to grow. The scandal once started has 1 raveled like a noxious weed. It is known, in a shadowy, changing form, from Maine to California. Delicate and incidental denials by the president's wife and her mother have only added fuel to the flame by giving the credu lous and malicious an opportunity to shrug their shoulders and declare the interested parties were trying to cover the matter up until after elec tion. The publication in - the New York Times, contained no au thoritative denial of the rumors. Incredible as it may seem, these vile stories, fathered by nobody and lack ing all particularization and verismili tude of truth, have gained wide cre dence. Tliere is not a public man in Washington who has not been asked as to the truth of these tales during the last year, and many of them, Bepub licans as well as Democrats, I regret to say, have in reply merely shrugged their shoulders, smiled, and said they did not know. Every newspaper cor respondent in Washington has the query often put at him "Is it true about the president beating his wife?" Thou sands upon thousands of times have persons living far away asked their correspondents in Washington to tell them what there is in the story that Mrs. Cleveland has been compelled to flee the White house and take up her residence ■ with friends. The orgy stories have been discussed in drawing rooms and at dinnerparties here in Washington, in New York, every- where. In short, the monster has fed and thrived upon the husks and garbage, on credulity, suspiciousness, malice, prejudice, winks and shrugs, till it has at last become a great na tional scandal, lt is high time it were put down* Public decency and private justice to the man. whom the people four years ago called to the highest place within their gift alike de mand it. Believing that these hideous stories arc without the slightest founda tion in fact, I have, with a view to re futing them completely, finally, and au thoritatively, investigated such of them as have taken on form and tangibility. From every person and every quarter comes the same testimony— to wit: That the president's conduct toward his young wife has been always young and lender. The great national scandal which has disgraced the country by gaining such widespread circula tion and credence had nought but malice and mendacity for its parents. Mrs. William C. Whitney, the wife of the secretary of the navy, the present social leader in Washington, a woman of rare gifts of mind and heart, has been Mrs. Cleveland's most Intimate friend since that beautiful young girl came to the White house a bride. Their relations have been as close and con stant as that of sisters. 1 called at the Whitney house. No. 1731 1 street, this morning, and was received by Mrs. Whitney, who has a fresh, strong face, abundant hair of gray, good, constant eves, and such marked qualities of can dor and human sympathy that one does not wonder she "is so popular and so much loved. Her face actually lighted up when 1 stated my errand. "I am glad, very glad," she said warmly, "to have this opportunity to be quoted on this subject. 1 think it gra cious and noble of the Chicago Tribune, as one of the leading. Republican papers of- the country, to .be willing to make such a denial of this awful story as will stop the mouths of the. slanderers. .1 have been often tempted to speak pi write concerning these stones about the president. In fact, 1 have found it hard to keep ' still, and have ;■ sevciiU.times \ asked Mr. Whitney to let me have my say; for the' public ear. My indignation has been so great that I could hardly refrain from rushing into print. 7 1 have held my: peace, ver, up to this time,and would continue to do so were it not for the fact that at a dinner party in New York, only two weeks ago, no - less ■*. a 7 gentle man than Chauncey M. Depew amused the sruests by repeating many of the vile stories about the piesident's con duct" toward his wife. It is incredible that a man of Mr. Depew's standing and character should help give currency to such vile -stories, but this -instance shows the manner in which the whole scandal has. been stirred up. I do not believe Mr. Depew would undertake personally to vouch for the stories which he told at thatdinner, but he told them, and doubtless most of those that heard him have since been telling them over to their friends. O, it is shameful ! THAT WATTEIISON STORY. "The only story told by Mr. Depew on this occasion ln which names were used or any particulars given which one could take hold of was the old story about Mr. Watterson, of Kentucky, tak ing-Mrs. Cleveland to the theater one night. According to the story the pres ident was angry because his wife went to the l heater, "and on her return up braided her, . called her wicked names, aud finally slapped 7 her face. This - incredible ■"*" story was told by Mr. Depew as having been started by Mr. Watterson himself. A gentleman who was at that dinner party, and who knew Mr. Watterson, wrote him for the facts. Mr. Watterson replied that he had escorted Mrs. Cleve land to Albaugh's Opera house; that the president himself did not go be cause he was so busy with his work, and that on their- return to the White house the president had chatted and laughed good naturedly, and courteously thanked Mr. Watterson for his kind ness. Tims that story was disposed of, and if the people who tells - these lies would only give some names or particu lars one falsehood after another could be taken up in the same manner and as effectually disposed of. But when a man like Mr. Depew, who one would think had too much principle to do such a thing, becomes the means of spread ing such stories about the president of the United States I think it time iudeed that some one competent to speak comes out in public and denounces every one of these stories as utterly false and baseless. WHERE Dill THE SLANDERS ORIGINATE? "How the slanders ever started in the first place I do not pretend to know," continued Mrs. Whitney, "but we have always understood that many of them had their origin 'on the Hill.' I should not wish to say that Mr. Ingalls has knowingly set in circulation a false story, but" lie has been bitter and vin dictive against the president. * "To us who knew the president and his wife well, and even intimately, who know tiiat whole romance of their mar riage and of their wedded life, it is in creditable that any one should for a moment believe he has been cruel to his wife and has even been so much of a brute as to strike her. Mrs. Cleveland has often talked to me of her relations to her husband before their marriage, of his tender watchfulness over and care for her, of her respect and childish affection for him, of her looking .np to him, and of his looking forward with some . hope to what actually followed. To us who know the facts there has always been something sweet and pretty about it all —her years of gayety in girlhood, her experience abroad as a handsome and winsome :* girl, but always thinking of him and finally coming back to him. She did not marry him because he was president of the United States, and would doubtless have married him had he not been a famous man, though, of course, it was only natural that his high station had a certain glamor and attraction for her. - '■ * 77 7 -nt. "spooney. in the old fashion. "We had an excellent opportunity to judge of the tenderness and j sentiment of their relations while they were with us on our Southern trip. For a week we lived together on the . train. We were all amused at their, loverlikeness. The president never passed her without stopping to pat .* her on ' the head or to put his hand under her chin and lift her face toward his. | She never passed him without a loving touch, or a kiss, or a good hug. We laughed a little at them and told them they were spooney in the good old fashion. Sometimes Mrs. Cleveland would be sitting in one end of the car reading a book. If she chanced to look up and see the presi dent alone she would throw down her book and rush to him like a girl and be gin to talk to and amuse, him. What their relationship was then it now is. There has never been any change, and the happy course of their domestic life has never been interrupted by an un kind word, look or thought 1 speak with the authority of one who knows. "Why, at Oak View this summer their life was most charming. It was ideal, a model for all the millions of good and happy homes in this country. We used to see them every day. Often of an evening we ran over from our home at Grasslands,, which, you know, is close by Oak View, and found them sitting together, the president in his house-coat working at his table, for he is always at work, and she close by with her book, her dogs about her. or her embroidery in her lap. They made such a sweet and simple picture there that 1 wish all these scandal mongers could have looked in on them and beeu rebuked with their own eyes. . - MRS. CLEVELAND'S INFLUENCE. "It seems that if people would only use their reason," Mrs. Whitney went on, "they would see how absurd such stories r are. The president is much older than his wife, It is only natural that he should delight in her compan ionship and affection, that he should do all in his power to retain her love, that he should be fond of her and want her to be fond- him. ■ Besides, he is a gen tleman.. •• Since * he. has been in the White; house ' he, has never spoken an unkind or rude word to any one," much less to the sweet , girl he was so fortunate as to win. He is a Presbyterian, and the blood of a genera tion of Presbyterian ministers is in his vein." That jitoes not make rude men nor cruel men. On her part she has de lighted in making his work lighter by her gayet'y and little womanly atten tions and in filling just the place in his life she ought to fill. She has been proud of him, of course, as a wife should be, and Mr. Whitney bas often remarked of her: 'She is just the wife for a work iugman.' The president acknowledges her influence over him, for she has taken hold and managed him in all the little domestic affairs, just as any sweet and loving wife will manage her hus band. He sometimes laughs at the ease with which she in her pretty way moves him about. "One little incident will' show you what 1 mean. It was related by the president himself. They had an en-, gagement to go driving one afternoon. The president was busy. As the hour came the president put on his coat and gloves and stood waiting. He waited patiently some time, thinking all the while of his work. Finally he con cluded he v-Auld teach her a lesson in punctuality. So he threw off his coat, removed his gloves, and resumed his work, fully decided .that he would not go driving that day. Pretty soon he heard her voice at the foot of the stairs. 'Come along,' she replied. '1 am ready now.' 'And what do you ■' suppose ■ I did?' asked the president in telling the story. ' Why, 1 got up, put on my coat and gloves again, and went driving.' HE DOESN'T DRINK TO EXCESS. , "And, then, they say the president gets drunk. This is as false as all the rest. Be is not a drinking man. 1 don't believe he was ever intoxicated in his life. He is a temperate man. Some think he takes a bit of whisky and water with his friends or guests, but he does not drink, the word is commonly used, and I know it. Nor is given to overeating or any such bad habits. I suppose because the president is so large and is so unfortunate as to have a face that 'is not without some grossness he is set down as a gross man of inordi nate appetite and. bad temper, can-, not otherwise understand how. rational people can give credence to some of the -stories told about him, for he is gentle, THE SAINT PAUL.

"'*•*■ *"*'' "And has Mrs. Cleveland been much worried by the slanders?" "She has not 'known of all of them. She has never understood the full ex tent to which the hideous scandal has grown;. It, is not easy for any happy, contented wife to believe half the world is talking ! about her being abused and beaten by her husband. After that Massachusetts minister was here and made such wicked statements she came out in a delicate little note, you remem ber, saying how happy she was, and later her mother wrote a friend that she would not ask tor a more kind and con siderate son-in-law. Mrs. Cleveland has not known but; these statements were sufficient to kill the scandal. . 7 SOME I OLE TALKS. "But. the stories have continued, I notice, and have been growing even worse. Why, they had it that Mrs. Folsom had to fly- to Europe; that the president drove his wife out. of the White house, and we had to take her in that Secretary Fairchild was once called on to help patch up. a peace, and only last summer Mrs. Shaw, the good old mother of the wile of Gen. Francis Bar low, the New York lawyer, was put into a dreadful nervous state by the •story which someone told her, claim ing to have it on the authority of Mr. Whitney, that after the election the president and his wife were to be di vorced. Mrs. Shaw made Gen. Barlow come to Mr. Whitney and ask him about it. "Mrs. Cleveland has lived an exceed ingly open and accessible life since her marriage," concluded Mrs. Whitney. "She has had much company, has been free in receiving friends and callers, and no one has yet found her seeming to be anything l ban that which £he is— a happy wife. You have my permission to quote ail I have said, audi sincerely hope this is the last of the whole wretched falsehood/ W. W. KATIE'S TINY GOLD WATCH. Now Dreadfully Sorry She Put That Note in Mayor O'Brien's Turkey. East Randolph, Vt., Dec. About the most distressed girl in Vermont to day is Miss Katie Gillette, of East Ran dolph, who wrote the note and poked it away under the tail of a dressed turkey that fell into Mayor O'Brien's hands. That is no name for it. Katie is sick, weary and disgusted at the unlooked for and sudden notoriety which she and the kind-hearted mayor have attained. The pretty little gold watch which she has tied to a blue ribbon and car ries in her bosom has turned to ashes and- dust in her mouth, so to speak. Bushels of letters come from all over New England— letters with every mail— till the good-natured and long-suffering John Buzzell, the young and handsome stage driver who carries the mail bag every day from Koyalton up through the valley to East Bethel, South Randolph, East Randolph and Brookfield, seventeen miles, js doing some tall kicking at its weight. John says this thing has gone on about long enough. But John is not so weary as Katie. A reporter called on her at her home the other evening and found her way down in the slough of despond. Her mother, however, feels more keenly than Katie herself this sudden blow at the happiness of their quiet home. "I don't see what I've done," she said, "that I should be called a 'forward girl' and 'Vermont school-marm' [em phasizing the "maim"'], and accused of •begging presents of strangers,' and •playing them for suckers.' O, dear; O. dear. What have 1 done? ' 1 didn't mean it; indeed, 1 didn't. It was only as a joke, just for fun, to see if My thing would come of it," and the . mv girl broke forth in sobs, "atie can stand the letters, but the p 7 < she received made her indignant. bo..ie were marked copies and some were not. She hurried through the unmarked copies to see if they contained some new attack upon her fair reputation. Up in the corner of one paper was written: "What time is it, Kate?" And on another, "In what part of the bird did you put that note?" Katie is a nice girl. She teaches the village school at East Randolph this winter, boards at home, gets $7 a week, and has fifty pupils in about twenty five different classes. She has worried herself almost sick over her present troubles, and at one time had serious thoughts of giving up her school, but will probably pull through all right. SOLD BY THE SHERIFF. Effects of Bankrupt Firms Dis posed of at Auction. Special to the Globe. New York, Dee. 7— The effects of the Scotch Oats Essence company, at Nos. 100 and 172 Fulton street, were sold out by Deputy Sheriff Brassel to day under executions for $39,010. The prices realized ere very small. Sixty three gross of Scotch Oats Essence, which the company sold at wholesale at $96 a gross, or a valuation of $0,048, re alized only $362, or about 4 cents a bottle, the retail price being $1. Gal linger & Co., manufacturer of glassware and lamps at No. 36 Barclay street, were sold out under the direction of Deputy Sheriff McGinnis to-day, under executions for about s4,ooo. An attempt was made to stop the sale by G. V. Tay lor and other creditors, who obtained an .order from the supreme -court restrain ing the sheriff from proceeding with the sale, but counsel who represented the judgment creditors under whose ex ecutions the sheriff was directed to sell applied to Judge Andrews in the su preme court chambers and procured an order vacating the stay, and the sale ' then proceeded. The firm have another large store at Pittsburg. Their liabili ties are said to be about $200,000. WRITTEN BY WARNER. - The Commander-in-Chief . of the G. A. R. Issues General Orders umber Four.

The Lumbermen figures that unless Muskegan and Menominee, Mich, will come to the front, Minneapolis may claim the heaviest lumber cut in the country for 1888. The cut of the Min neapolis mills was approximately 838,* 000,000 feet. The cut of the Eau Claire mills was* 188,000,000 feet; another 48, --000,000 was made at the big mill at Chip pewa Falls, and the Knapp, Stout & Co. company at their various mills on the Ked Cedar cut not to exceed 70.000,000. This makes an aggregate of 806,000,000 for the Chippewa valley. The La Crosse mills turned out 213,465,000 feet, and the mills in the St. Croix valley 177,000,000, The cut in the Wisconsin valley was somewhere in the neighborhood of 250. --000,000, including Wausau. Merrill and Stevens Point. Muskegan and Menomi nee, Mich., are to be heard from yet, with the probabilities that their cut will not very much, if any exceed that made by the Minneapolis mills.
