C—— A I———— Tue Massachusetts Democratic State Convention says on the ques- tion of tariff reform “We don’t ad. vocate free trade but favor and de- sire a revision of whe present unjust and burdensome tariff laws : We heartily approve of the following recommendation of the president : ‘The surplus should be released to the people by an amendment to our revenue laws which shall cheapen the price of the necessaries of life and give free entrance to such im. ported materials as may be manu- factured into marketable commodi- ties” We believe the income de rived by the goverament from the internal'revenue tex should be ap- plied to discharge the burden im. posed on the peaple by the late war.” It will be seen that the Bay State Democrats have adopted the iden- tical plank proposed by editor Sing. eriy at Allentown which was in the language of the President and which Mr. Randall rejected.

During President Cleveland's stay in Philadelphia, all kinds of political lies were circulated about him, by designing Republicans . One was that the President and Governor Hill were enemies, and that Hill avoided the President as much as possible. This ex- ploded on the Grand stand on Fri- day, and it is positively stated that New York's Governor is a warm supporter of Mr. Cleveland's and that he is anxious to have him re- nominated in 1888. Another re- port was that Mrs. Cleveland when the Ohio troops passed the place where she was viewing the parade, turned her back to Governor Forak- er, and that at the reception in the evening Mrs. Cleveland refused her hand to Gov. and Mrs. Forak- er. The following from the Record effectually disposes of this lie also : “Mr. Thompron, who was direct- ly alongside of Mrs Cleveland at the Academy of Music at the recep- de- Mr. no Was tion, where it was asserted she shake Foraker, said with that hands yesterday clined to land shook the hands of all persons who came along in the line except at certain times, when he directed that the line should pass on by her without handshaking. This was done in to prevent Mrs Cleveland from becoming fatigued. “Mr. Thompson said : I take the full responsibility of denying that Mrs. Cleveland intentionally failed to salute Mr. and Mrs. Foraker, and that she refused to take their hands, She was guided by me as to when to continue or discontinue the hand- shaking; and if Governor Foraker and his wife passed by without having been taken by the hand it was during one of the intervals of rest which I insisted she should take, and im which, ‘as she had promised, she was guided by me.

Carlisle, who, with his wife, has just returned to Covington, Ky., says : “The visit of Mrs. Carlisle and myself to the President and Mrs Cleveland at their home was only a social one. The President and | did not meation politics in even an indirect way. We were occupied with social enjoyment.” Mr. Carlisle, when asked what what were Cleveland's chances for renomination, said : “Why, he will be unanimously indorsed. Democrats, East, West, North and South, are ready to poll their forces and give him an over whelming majority. Certainly Cleveland will accept the nomina- tfon if tendered him, though his position as Chief Magistrate of the nation is a trying one, in that it is characterized by a transformation era. Everything is in a state of reaction, and it requires the harmo- nious co-operation of the Democra- { cy, as well as executive skill on Mr. | Cleveland's part, to develop order. Mr. Cleveland is not a partisan ruler. He is strict in his obedience to Civil Service principles; he is free from all habits of extravagance and luxury, and is admirably quali- fied to govern.

New York, Sept 16.—On the 12th instant Hon, Henry R. Beck- man, the Board of Aldermen, addressed the following President of letter to the: President of the Unit- ed States : Hox, Grover CLeveLaxD— Dear Sir: It would seem that the invi- tation from the Board of Aldermen of this city to Mrs. Cleveland to present certain flags tothe Fire De. partment of this city in behalf of the donors, and Mrs. Cleveland's reply have been misinterpreted and inferences drawn by a portion of the public which are not consistent with the profound respect which those by whom the invitation was extended owe toward yourself and the office you fill. While not en- tertaining the belief that the form of invitation suggested any feeling that there was a lack of our obser- vance toward yourself, I am not willing, in justice to myself and the Board | represent, to allow miscon- ception, however plain, on the part of any section of the public on so delicate a matter to pass without a challenge and the assurance that in nothing could this city be less wanting than in the fullest meas- ure of welcome and hospitality to one whom it will always delight to honor The President replied to the for- going as follows : Oax View, Wasmincrox, Sept, 13, 87—The Hon. Henry R. Beckman, President, Etc. —My Dear Sir: Since Mrs. Cleveland's reply to the invitation extended to her to assist in the presentation of certain flags donated to the Fire Department of your city both of us have been greatly annoyed by what seems to be a determination in some quarters to lend to her declin- ation a significance never for a moment intended. Your note to me received this morning, recognizing the existence of a musapprehension of the true meaning of Mrs. Cleveland's action gives me the opportunity of saying for her and for myself that we have not had the slightest idea that any discourtesy to me was either in- tended or appeared in the form of invitation, nor was the reply in- tended to in any way recognize or admit the existence of any such in- tention that the manner and form of the invitation was not criticised as a matter of etiquette. We do not know that any of its rules were violated ; and if | were sure of it 1 hardly think that would have de. termined our action. .
