WHAT IS SAID AT DEMOCRATIC WEADQUARTERS—WHAT ‘THE REPUBLICANS SAY. Some of the democratic politicians about the democratic headquarters are saying to-day that While Butler's candidacy will hurt them in New York very materially, 1t may also be the means of carrying Pennsylvania for Cleveland. They say that the republicans depend upon the labor vote for thelrlarge majorities in the state, and that Butler will take this from them. Upon this as- Sumpuon they hold that if Cleveland 1s beaten in ‘New York he still uay be elected. ‘The situation tg looked upon in allquarters a3 anomalous, and the republicans say they think it is Butler's intention to injure the demo- crats, and that ail his efforts will be to this end His intention in waiting for Cleve- jang’s letter is to analyze it in connection with the democratic platform, and show the working- men thatit promises chem absolutely nothing. His letter of acceptance, It Is believed, will be devoted almost entirely to this, and will ‘not strike at the Jabor plank in the republican platform atall He will call attention to the [act that he tried to In- duce the democrats at Chicago to adopt a labor plaviorma, and wiil give it as his reason for Doiting .be convention that tier. were antagonistic Lo labor ‘nteresta, and his loyalty to labor demanded the action he has taken.

Secretary Folger Serenely Declines to ‘alk Politics. Secretary Foiger has recently returned from the ‘western part of New York. ‘Tue Stax man found him at his ofice this morning busily occupied in Supervising his correspondence, but all efforts to commit him to @ political expression were fuule, “which party will Buuer draw from in New York?” asked Tue Stan man. “I haven't thought over the subject enough to Say,” was the smiling reply. Yet the smile sald as plain as plain coud be that he had his own theories on the subject. “In a general way one of your experience in the state must have an idea Which party would be Most likely to Suffer from the presence of a labor candidate in the fleld,” suggested Tue STAR. “Yes, but Idon't kuow suMiciently well to ex- ress an opinion to the public.” SYou have been observing things ‘ork—" “But have observed nothing worth speaking of to the pubitc,” he added pleasantly, taking up the question, Ue in New Clevetand’s Vindication. ‘THE SCANDALS ASOUT His PRIVATE LIFE DISPROVED. From the New York World, To-day. é The refusal of the Rey. Henry Ward Beecher to Support Gov. Cleveland for Presidentif the scandal- ous story published by the Buifalo Telegraph about the candidate was found tobe true has caused a great deal of discussion. At Mr. Be cher’s solicita- tion Gen. Horatio C. King went to Buffalo recently to investigate the stories. In an interview yester- day Gen. King said: “The facts seem to be that many years ago, when the governor was ‘sowing his wild oats,’ he met this woman, with whom his hame has been connected, and Vecaine intimate with ber.

"Three of her four admirers—for she was an attractive woman—were married, and the man who i reality was tie lather of the Infant ad an interesting daughter whom he idolized. He was in constant dread est bis offense sbould reach his wife amd child, and Cleveland, being the only unmarried man, relieved him of nis'embarrassment by snouldering ll tue responsibility. That man 1s dead, and the child is his perfect image in manner and looks. Cleveland acted a heroic part, suffer ing the obloquy that his treads might not bring un- pleasantpees to their hearthsides. CLEVELAND Li HIS OWM DIFENSE. From Buffalo Gen. King went direct to Albany and called on Gov. Cleveland “I told him,” added the general, “that Mr. Beecher was very much dis- turved by these stories tat have been circulated about nim, and that I would like a statement frou hun about’ them. ‘The governor then frankly told ihe that my version of tiie stories was substantially Corregt, and that the account published in the But- falo Telegraph was false and scandalous. ‘1 acted Ghrourhgut,’ he suld, ‘as any honorable man ould.” “The allegation that the governor visited the club-house on Grand Island, a ‘resort of lust and Grunkenness,’ as Bail says, 15 ridiculous Tie club house Was the headquarters for the best families of Buffalo, where such peopie as Judge Hutzht and his family Were daily to be ound.
