MB- AND MRS. CLEVELAND
- —_
their domestic life praised
BY MRS. WHITNEY.
Contradicting All tho Storiea of the
Unhappiness of the Mistress of the
White House-Incidents at the White
House, at Oak View and on Journeys
Which Indicate Her Attachment to
Her Husband and His Regard for Her.
From the New York Tribune.
Chicago, Dec. 7.—The correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune at Washington reports
an interesting interview with the wife of
Secretary Whitney, regarding the disagree
able stories which have for a long time been
persistently circulated regarding the
domestic relations of President Cleveland.
Knowing that Mrs. Whitney had been one
of Mrs. Cleveland’s mo3t intimate friends
since the marriage, the correspondent de
termined to call upon her and learn, if possi
ble, what she knew about tho true inward
ness of tho matter. Mrs. Whitney received
him graciously.
“I am glad, very glad,” she said warmly,
‘‘to have this opportunity to bo quoted on
this subject. I have been often tempted to
speak or write concerning these stories about
the President. In fact, I have found it hard
to keep still, and have several 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 rush
ing into print. I have held my peace, how
ever, 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 loss a gentleman
than Mr. Chauneey M. Depew amused
the guests by repeating many of the vile
stories about tho President’s condu t to
ward 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. Ido not believe Mr. Depew would un
dertake personally to vouch for the stories
which he told at that dinner, but he told
them, and doubtless most of those that
heard him have since been telling them over
to their friends. Oh, it is shameful!
“The only story told by Mr. Depew on
this occasion, in which names were used, or
any particular story which one could take
hold of, was the old story about Mr. Wat
terson f Kentucky taking Mrs. Cleveland to
the theater one night. According to the
story, the President was angry because bis
wife went to the theater, and on her return
he upbraided her, called her wicked names,
and finally slapped her face. This incredible
story was told by Mr. Depew as having
been started by Mr. Watterson himself. A
gent leman who was at that dinner party and
knew Mr. Watterson wrote him for the
facts. Mr. Watterson replied that he
had escorted Mrs. Cleveland to Al
batigh’s opera house; that the President
himself did not go because he was so
busy with his work, and that on their re
turn to the white house the President had
chatted and laughed good-naturedly, and
had courteously thanked Mr. Watterson
for his kindness. Thus that story was dis
posed of, and if the people who tell these
lies would only give some names or par
ticulars, one after another could be taken
up in the same manner and effectually dis
posed of. But when a man like Mr.
Denew, who, one would think, has too
much principle to do such a thing, becomes
the means of spreading such stories about
the President of the United States, I think
it time, indeed, that someone competent to
speak comes out in public and denounces
every one of the stories os utterly false and
baseless.
“How the slanders ever started in the
first place, I don’t pretend to know,” con
tinued Mrs. Whitney, “but we have always
understood that many of them had their
origin ‘on the hill.’ I shouldn’t wish to say
that Mr. Ingalls has knowingly set in circu
lation a false story, but he has been bitter
and vindictive against the President. To
us, who know the President and his wife
well and even intimately, who know the
whole romance of their marriage and of
their wedded life, it is incredible that any
one should for a moment believe that he
has been cruel to his wife, and has ever
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 up 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 hand
some and winsome girl, but always think
ing of him, and finally coming back to him.
She didn’t 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 glamour and attraction for her.
“We had an excellent opportunity to
judge of the tenderness and sentiment of
their relations while they were with us on
our southern trip. For a week we lived
gether on the train. We wore 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 that
they wore spooney in the good old fashion.
Sometimes Mrs. Cleveland would be sitting
in one end of the car reading a book. If
she chauced to look up and seethe President
nlone, she would throw down her book and
rush to him like a girl, and begin to talk to
aud 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 unkind word, look or thought. I speak
with the authority of one who knows.
"Why, at Oak View this last summer,
their life was most charming. It was ideal,
n model for all the millions of good and
Impliy homes in this country. We used to
s- e theru every day. Often,"of an ovening,
ran over from our home at Grasslands,
w i, h you know is close by Oak View, and
found them sitting together, the President
in his house-coat working at his table —for
h< s always at work—and she close by him
"i'h her book, her dogs about her, or her
embroidery in her lap. Tb a y made such a
S ' VI t and simple picture there that I wish
ml these scandal-mongers could have looked
011 thorn and been rebuked with their
own eyes.
It seems that if people would only me
th ir reason, they would sen how absurd
S| i' h stories are. The President is much
older tlmu his wife. It is only natural that
ho should delight in her companionship and
“flection, that he should do all in bis power
t > retain her love, that lie should be fond
el her and want her to be fond of him. Be
•hiis a gentleman. Since he has been
hi the white house, he has never spoken an
unkind or rude word to any one, much loss
to the sweet girl he was so fortunate as to
wm. He is a Presbyterian, and the
mood of a generation of Frcsby-
Th laU ministers is in his veins,
l hat does not make rudo men nor cruel
m 0. <hi her part, she has delighted in
milking his work lighter by her gayoty and
httle womanly attentions, and in tilling just
too plnce in his life she ought to fill. She
mis been proud of him, of course, as a wife
°uld be, and Mr. Whitney has often le
ii. arki dof her: ‘Hiie is just the wife for a
working man,’ The President acknowl
, r PS ,“ 8r influence over him, for she has
, “ n “old and managed him in all the little
omestu; affairs just us any sweet and lov
"K wif e will manage her husband. Ho
sometime* laughs at the ease with which
,< J u h( “ r Pretty way, moves him about.
I hie little incident will show you what I
™i. It was related by the President
oiiiself. They hail an engagement to go
Hiving one afternoon. The President was
oiisv. As the hour cams, the President put
on his coat aud gloves and stood waiting,
He waited patiently for some time, think
ing ail the while of his work. Finally he
concluded he would teaoh her a lesson in
punctuality, so he threw off bis coat, re
moved 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
cried, ‘I am ready now.’ ‘And what do you
suppose I did!’ asked the President, in tell
ing the story. ‘Why, I got up, put on my
coat and gloves again, ana went driving.’
“And then they say the President gets
drunk. This is as false as all the rest. He
is not a drinking man. I don’t believe he
was ever intoxicated in his life. He is' a
temperate man. Sometimes ho takes a bit
of whisky and water with his friends or
guests, but he does not drink, as tho word
is commonly used, and I know it; nor is he
given to over-eating, or any such bad
habits. I suppose, because the President is
large, and is so unfortunate ai to have a
face that is not without some grossness, he
is set down as being a gross man, of inor
dinate appetite and bail temper. I cannot
otherwise understand how rational people
can give erode non to some of the stories
told about him, for he is gentle, considerate,
even-tempered and kind to every one
about him.”
“Has not tho President sometimes lost his
temper over the malicious falsehoods told
of his domestic life!”
“Of course, he has been much annoyed,
but he has always said he had too much
confidence in the people to believe that
such slanders would find many willing ears
to listen to them. Ho has been repeatedly
asked to say something for publication, b t
he has replied, ‘I guess we can keep Mrs.
Cleveland out of this a little longer;’or ‘ls
it necessary to bring Mrs. Cleveland
into the campaign !’ ”
"Has Mrs. Cleveland been much worried
by the slanders!”
“She has. She has not known of all of
thdm. She has never understood the full
extent to which the hideous scandal has
grown. It is not easy for any happy, con
tented 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 the delicate
little, note you remember, saying how happy
she was, and later her mother wrote to a
friend that she wouldn’t ask for a more
kind and considerate son-in-law. Mrs.
Cleveland has not known but that these
statements were sufficient to kill the scan
dal.
“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 wife of Geu. Francis Barlow,
the New York lawyer, was put into a
dreadfully nervous state by the story which
someone told her, claiming to have it on
the authority of Mr. Whitney, that after
the election the President and his wife were
to be divorced. Mrs. Shaw made Gen.
Barlow come to Mr. Whitney and ask him
about it.
“Mrs. Cleveland has lived an exceedingly
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 than that
which she is—a happy wife. You have
my permission to quote everything I have
said, and I sincerely hope this is the last of
the whole wretched falsehood.”
THE GREAT ORMONDE SOLD.
The Famous Horse Bought by an
American for $85,000.
From the Few York Sun.
London, Dec. 7.—The Derby winner,
Ormonde, has been sold to an American for
£17,000.
When the news got abroad up town last
night that the greatest horse of modern
times had been sold for $85,000 to somelxxly
who would probably bring him to America,
the opinion was unanimous among turfmen
that only one man in the United States
could have given such an enormous figure
for Ormonde, the highest price ever pail
for a horse, and that man was John A.
Morris of Throgg’s Neck, Westchester
county. Mr. Morris is the leading snirit
and chief stockholder of the New York
Jocky Club,and the owner of Britannic,one
of tho best spinsters in the c >untry when fit
and ready to run. In the last year Mr.
Morris has purchased several of th e best
bred mares to be obtained on either side of
the water, and it would not be surprising if
he had bought Ormonde to mate with them.
It is well known that he was on the lookout
for some superior stallion with a record,
and when in England, a month or so ago,
he priced the well-known horse Minting,
one of the best performers in Great
Britain. Mr. Morris could not be reached
at bis place at Throgg’s Neck last night.
Mr. Pelham Clinton,l who has just re
turned from abroad, said last night that
while in England, he had heard that a syn
dicate from Buenos Ayres had asked the
Duke of Westminster to set a price on his
famous hor-e, but tho duka had said that
Ormonde was not for sale. The South
Americans seemed determined to carry the
great Derby winner back with them, and
Mr. Clinton thought they had increased
their offer untii it was finally accepted.
Ormonde was bred by the Duke of W ost
minister, his late owner. He was sired by
Bend Or, dam Lily Agnes. He is a bay
horse, very compactly built, and about 6
years old. Ormonde won the 2,000 guineas
in 1886, and became a very strong favorite
for the Derby, which he won by a length
and a half from Mr. R. Peck’s chestnut colt
the Bard,whose performances as a two-year
old were phenomenal. Fred Archer rode
the great horse in all his races. The Duke
of Westminister bought Doncaster a few
years ago for £12,000 or almost $60,000, and
this figure has st >od as the ton notch until
the saie of Ormonde. Doncaster sired Bond
Or and Bend Or sired Ormonde, so that in
the end the duko’s investment’was a most
profitable one.
