In reply to that letter Mr. Beecher writes from Peekski!l under date of Sept. 16, as follows: **My DEAR Str:—When you are older and have had a larger experi- ence of public affairs and political ethics, you will regard the letter sent to me with tar different eyes to what you do now. Who told you, and by what authority do state that Cleveland is a libertine—a notorious libertine? Do you regard slander as # part of morality? THAT STORY IS A SLANDER. Not a particle of evidence has ever been introduced to prove that Cleve- jand 1s now an immoral man. But he fell in one instance and he frankly admitted it. All the stories of con- you tinued dissipation have been searcn ed and traced to the grog-shop and the brothe!.
