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. When you feel depressed, don’t dose yourself with moan bitters.
