"Distracted aud deplorable" is the

response to the question "What are

Cleveland?" says:
"He is tot fitted to be President either

god point-i, but his deficiencies are many
aud very serious.' He has done nothing
to deserve such a reward as the Presi
dency, the greatest gift of the American
people. Wilh such a candidate defeat is
better for the party than success. Detent
with Horace Greelev in 1873 was- better
for the Democracy than success would
have been; tins party is in a better condi

Cleveland in 1884 will be better for the

the cowardly aud infamous attack
reached the eyes of Mr. Bl..ine, he' tele
graphed to Indianapolis a clfar, emphat

time instructed an attorney to institute
legal pieceedings in the U. S. court

MARIA HALPIN.
The Story of the Wrongs She Suffered
at the Hands of Grover
Cleveland.
Cleveland. As Told by Herself to a Citizen of
Buffalo, on the 29th of July Last.
the Charges Made Against the
Democratic Candidate Substantiated
From the Woman's
Own Lips.
Bi'kfalo, August 14 The Buffalo
Telegraph appears to know how to take
care of itself, and is making good, as it
promised, everything it has said about
iii over Cleveland. Here is an article it
c mtained this afternoon, which is a plain,
matter-ol-factstatemeut from the much
abused woman, Maria Halpin. It says:
"When the Telegraph unmasked Cleve
land it did not know where Maria Hat
pin was. Wheu it succeeded in locatiug
her a member of the Telegraph staff
u as detailed to visit New Roenelle, N.
Y, to get, if possible, from her own lips,
the story of her relations wilh Grover
Cleveland. He found New Rochelle a
place of some 5,000 or 0,000 inhabitants
on the New York & New Haven Rail
way, seventeen miles from' New Y'ork,
aud largely populated by the families of
men doing business in the metropolis.
Here Maria Halpin, whose uamefor the
tew weeks has been conspicuous in the
newspapeis of the country, has lived iu
seclusion for several years as house
keeper for an uncle-iu-law, James A. Se-
cord, au elueuy man, by trade a carpen
ter, aud she has there lived a quiet, hon
est, humble aud useful life. The Tele
graph representative talked with a num
ber of responsible and well-intormeo
citizens of the village, and they all gave
the same testimony. Maria Halpin had
lived among them for years aud had
conducted nerseii w:iu propriety, nau
made friends, was esteemed a good wo
man, and uutil the recent exposure
growing out of Grover Cleveland's nom
tuatiou for the Presidency was not
kuowutohavea blemish on her lite.
In fact when it was first reported that
he was the womau in the Cleveland
case those of New Rochelle's inhabi
tants who knew the quiet, decorous, uu-
obtrusiue housekeeper at the modest
Secord home could hardly believe that
sue was the Maria Halpin in question.
Having satislied himself of her standing
in the community where she lived the
Telegraph representative turued his
steps toward the Secord dwelling. He
found it to be a modest frame building
on a street adjacent to one of the village
cemeteries, aud he was met at the door
by James A. -Secord. Mr. secord is a
man seemingly about sixty years old, of
i laiu address, who has grown gray iu
Xew Kochalle. Mr. Secord jealously
guarded his niece from newspaper men,
and as he seemed endowed with the
gift, to a large degree, of determining
Ciieir profession, they could not gain ac
cess to Ler, although not a few hd
tried. The Telegraph representative
was turned from the door after a few
uiuim nts parleying, but a citizen of Buf
falo' gained an audience with Maria
Halpin as the bearer of a message from
a trienri, aiid received from her a state
ment of which the following is an im
portant part:
MARIA HALPIN'S STATEMENT:
" 'I was employed at Flint & Kent's
when Grover Cleveland pers'stently
soucht aud finally made my acquaint
ance. 1 was not as stout as 1 look now,
being tall and slender, and it is a won
der that I endured all 1 suffered in the
years from 1S74 to 1877. My child, Os
car Folsom Cleveland, was born Sept.
14, 1874. Grover Cleveland is bis father,
and to say that any other man. was re-
suousiblo for his birth is infamous. The
attempt to connect the dead Oscar Fol
som wilh me or my boy, of which 1 bear,
is cruel and cowardly. I had but a very
slight acquaintance with Oscar hnlsotu
It does nut seem possible, after all I
have snffeied for Grover Cleveland and
my bov's sake, that tbe attempt will be
made to further blacken me in the eyes
of the world. No one knows the extent
of my suffering's. After my child was
taken from me I begged Cleveland on
bended knees to let ine have sight of my
babv. He was immovable. 1 found
where the boy was, and one day I rush
ed in upou his keeper, snatched him up,
aud ran away before they could stop me.
My sufferings subsequently, my fruitless
efforts to hav. him (Cleveland) fulfill
his promise of mrrriage, his neglect of
myself aud child, my abduction and vio
lent treatment by his hired tools are
truthfully but only partially to'd in the
Buffalo Telegraph of J uli 21. P would
be impossible to cover events that made
up those years of shame, suffering, and
degradation forced upon me by Grover
Cleveland.'
"The above is the part of Maria Hal
pin's statements bearing most directly
upon the points in the Cleveland-IIalpin
case brought out clearly in the Tele
graph's terrible tale. It is substantially
her language, and it is exactly her senti
ment. The statement was made on the
afternoon of July 29, 13S4, and lodged
with the Telegraph, duly attested, a few
davs later. The gentleman to" whom she
made it says that in the course of a long
interview with her, she wept bitterly as
she told of her wrongs. Her manner
nnd appearance carried the conviction
of
WILL NOT EXONERATE CLEVELAND.
"When told that it was reported she
had made or was about to make a state
ment exonerating Gov. Cleveland from
the charges preferied against him in the
Teleeraph of July 21, Maria Halpin
drew himself upas if preparing for a
sunreme effort, aud replied in a most
impressive and earnest manner: "Me
make a statement exonerating Grover
Cleveland! Never. I would rather put
a bullet through my heart. She said
she could .not truthfully make any
such statement, and Grover Cleveland
would not dare ask her to humiliate her
self again that he might enjoy honors
and wealth, while on his account she
was exiled from kindred and friends pa
tiently waiting for death to end her
misery. She then went into details of
what she had suffered from 1834 to 1877
at the Imnds af Cleveland or bis agents
that would melt a heart of stone. Her
statements are fortified and corrobora
ted by facts known in the case, and by
circumstances and records bearing upon
that eventful period of her life."
Gen. Butler, tiring of waiting for
Cleveland to return from the woods with
his letter of acceptance, has issued an
address to his constituents. It U a very
long document, which would" oo:upy two
entire pHges of this paper. Much of the
address is devoted to his efforts in the
Chicago convention to get the Demo
cratic party to stand, up for the rights
and interests of the people. He is rather
impartial in his raps of both the Repub
lican and Democratic parlies, although
those aimed at his late Democratic coN
leagues strike sensitive sores and will
cause most distress. Ben. exposes mer
cilessly the dishonest trickery and hy
pocrisy of the recent Danncrat National
convention, and describes the fraudulent
free trade platform us "simply resolu
tions of expedients to catch votes by in
discretion, deception, and illusion, not
declarations of those high . principles
which should form the basis of the unit
ad action of a great party of the aeople."
"Can the people," asks Gen, Butler, "trust
the machine Democracy with power,
upon a shifting, evasive and deceptive
platform?" This Is a question to be
mswered in November, and the signs o."
the times indicate that it will be answer
ed Wilh an emphatic No!

Joint Debate.
closely
pressed by uoi. xayior, in the congres

made by our congressman in the H -use,
during tee closing days or tbe t-e sion.
and when tbe General was absent from
his seat in the House, preparing for the
contest with Johnny McLean, wherein
he was struck several times under the
belt, to write au ill-natured and insult
ing letter to Col. Taylor, concerning the
speech, and wound up challenging him
to a joint discussion. Upon the receipt
of Mr. Warner's letter. Col. Taylor
promptly accepted the challenge to a
discussion. Tbe local committees ot
Guernsey county have agreed that the
joint discussion take place at Cambridge,
August 27th. Four hours time is to be
allowed. It was agreed that Gen. A. J.
Warr.er open the discussion at 1 o'clock

Among the articles In the North Amer
ican Review for September, three in par
ticular merit the serious consideration of
every one who studies the tendencies of
our government. The leading one is by
Bishop J. Lancaster Spalding, who insists
that the only sure "Basis of Popular Gov
ernment" is morality, not culture of the
intellect, nor universal suffrage, nor de
velopment of material resources, and that
if the country Is to be saved from ruin,
there must be a return to tbe uncompro
mising moral code of the found r. of
New England. The policy of "Tl e Ex
clusion of the Chinese" is advocated by
John H. Durst, who presents a striking
array of forcible and original arguments
against Mongolian immigration. Four
distinguished writers on political i c mo
my, namely, Da id A. Wells, Th on at G.
Shearman, J. B. Sargent, and Prof, V . G
Sumner, set forth, from nearly every on
ceivable point of view, the "Evils of ine
Tariff System;" and it iu announced that
in the Review for uctooer several wrileis
of no less distinction will exhibit the
Benefits of the Tariff System." The oth

Dr David Kennedy, Rondout, New fork;
Dear Str: My son a lad of fifteen, editor of
ine uojineaa, amateur journal of tola city,
has been at different times most severely and
apparently bopelessly afflicted with salt
rbtiam; when a very small child his body was
almost entirely covered with this loathsome
eruption, it mostly passed away. However,
alter the teetbinsr period and be waa not serls
oosly troubled with it again until about one
year uv, wnen ine sail rneiim nrsi- appearea
on bis bands between bis lingers, then on his
lining, then on his face and head in one solid
mass; his condition was terrible; the rash re
sembled ivy polsnnlne and we at first fancied
It might be something not so bad as his old
troubles, but tbe physicians pronounced it
salt rheum and made every effort without
avail to cure it; we tried a preparation widely
advertised as a specific or skin disease but
It made about aa innob of an impression aa ao
mnob cold water might have done; you can
understand thesltuatlon when I say we were
in dlspalr of obtaining real help from any
source At this point, through tbe advise of
Mr J W BACon. whose daughter had been
cured ot salt rheum by it, I tried KENNEDY'S
FAVORITE KEMED This was the right
and only thing at 1 at! The skin began to
heal at onoeand to-day the evidences or the
disease have wholly disappeared; how thank
ful we are. dear doctor. I leave you- to imagine.
