THAT CLEVELAND LETTER
FRAUD
Some time ago a letter purporting
to have been written by the late ex-
President Grover Cleveland was pub
! Ilshod In the New York Time*. This
| letter endorsed the candidacy of
[ Judge Taft against Mr. Bryan, and
was expected to exert, a great Influ
! nice In determining voters to support
j Judgr Taft.
Mr Cleveland wav. held In the hlgir
j e*t ,-stecm by a large number of in
-1 fiuentla! men. They had the greatest
confidence In Ills integrity and In hIH
i Judgment. Although Mr. Cleveland
; was a life long democrat he was a
\ patriot above a partisan. He loved I
his country more than hla party, and
i when he opposed Bryan In 181)6, It |
was Cleveland perhaps more than !
juny oth<-r man to whom the bolt was;
due which resulted In the candidacy,
of [’aimer and Buckner, and to that
opposition to Bryan within the demo- i
cratlc parly which resulted In hla
defeat. It was believed that If Cleve
land living should now take the same
position of antagonism to Mr. Bryan
It would ngiiln result In hading from
his support tha, element In the demo
italic party which followed Cleve
land’s lead In 1836, and turn It over
lo Judge Taft. Anil Cleveland being
dead, It was hoped that a letter from
him. posthumously published, Indira’.- i
Ing Ills preference for Judge Taft In '
the present race, would have the I
same effect.
For this reason the letter was pub
lished by the New York Times, a
stalwart republican organ, which paid
a good, round sum for Ihe copy.
Tho authenticity of this letter was
doubled and disputed from the first.
It ha* now been proven a fraud, and
admitted to he such by The Times,
which was made the Innocent partici
pant of tills despicable crime.
It appeals now that sordid avarice
or a deep laid conspiracy was at the
bottom of this fraud. The article was
old to The Times by Broughton
Brandenburg, a magazine writer, who
agreed to pay lo the Cleveland esta’e j
a percentage of the proceeds of the j
rale of not only the article In ques ,
lion lull of (fillers which he said had ,
be, n prepared by him tinder the J| ,
icitlon of Mr Cleveland. Mr Hast j
legs, on behalf of tho estate, had |
agreed to accept the terms offered
by Mr Brandenburg which Induced;
The Tillies to buy and publish It.
What will he done lo Brandenburg
to punish him for this crime remains
In be seen. There Is no specific sta.
me covering such a crime, for It Is
• xeecdlngly rure. Indeed, so far as
known, this is the first Instance in \
which a dead mans character and
reputation has been made tin- stock
In trade of a literary ghoul. It is !
(orliinHie tha, the crime was so soon j
detected, since this villain had con
lemplutcd coining more money for
himself out of the sale of further copy
of the sulne kind.
To Mrs. Cleveland Is due the chief
credit for bringing this fraud to light.
From the first she doubted the au
thenticity of this letter and. assisted
by friends, site Instituted a searching
Investigation, which resulted In ex
posing the fraud
The letter had been printed In him- I
dreds of thousands of pamphlets sent
out be the national republican cam :
pnlgu committee a* a campaign duett j
menl. In view of the fraud It Is now
proven to be It should have exactly
the opposite effect to that which it
was Intended to produce.
Mr Cleveland was not opposed to
llrysn or In fnvor of Tad Had he
lived he would have supported Bryan,
and dead his friends will honor him !
by lining what death prevented him
from doing, helping to elect W. J.
Bryan.

MARRIAGE BY PROXY
A eurlouß case has arisen In New
York which Is causing much discus
sion In the papers and much worry
to Hie parti'-s directly Interested, and
the question Is now submilled for set
tlement to the highest lutoruatloua)
authorities.
It 1*: “Is a marriage by proxy
performed in this country legal?” It
seems thm a man living In one of
Ihe South American countries de
► ires to marry a young woman who
is at present living in New York. He
has a friend living In New York
whom ho desires to represent him at
a marriage ceremony duly to be cele
brated In New York, after which the
bride ts 10 come to him is his wife.
The young woman approves of this
plan, which la only awaiting the en
dorsement of the authorities io whom
It has been referred.
II said that in South American
countries such proxy marriages are
by no means rare, and are recogniz
ed as valid a* any other fotm.
Is also point) | out that among royal
ty such marriage* occur sometime.)
From this the position is takeu tha'.
proxy marriages should also be leg)!-
lied In our country. The New York
Time*, In this dismission, argues tha;
"Such marriages have been recognis
ed as legal and proper in nest times
and countrlea, by both f'huroh and
Slate, Hint certainly, on Ihe theory
that marriage |s a contract, there Is
no reason why the principal* should
not be permitted to bind themsefves,
as they can In other contracts, b> th •
acts ol duly authorized agents or rep
resent at ivos," %
However reasonable this view may i
appear, these will not tie many to
agree to it. Marriage is a contract,
to be sure, but It Is iiullkt any other
kind of contract, since Ihe happiness
of two lives at.d perhaps much more
than lhat depends upon it. For this
reason It Is necessary tb.tl the ntsk
tug of a marriage contract be h•■dgl'(l
cbout with conditions which are noi
necessary In the making and sealing
of other contracts, and one of these
condition* is that both contracting
parties b-» present, and lit the pres
i nee ot each othi r and of witnesses
affirm Hint they enter Into this sto
red contract ot their own free will
and desire. This condition I* not
IMissihie in a proxy marriage.
A\ hat may be the custom In South
American c muffles does not concern
us They have many customs thet
which we can never approve, misce
genation rot one Also wh.vt royal
ty may sometime* do Is not th
question, for royalty bus ways of its

affinity who preferred to be his wife
rather than ht* mistress, and Emper

Kings may marry by j-roxy and they

THE WIRZ MONUMENT.
j To the Editor of The Herald.
Sir: In your issue of September
the 25th you have an editorial on
"The Wirz Monument,” and as you
have so nearly sized up my own
views, I feel that I must say, well
done to you.
You are certainly right about the
location of the monument, it should
be erected in a moat conspicuous po
sition at Andersonville, where all the
sightseers who visit that historic
place can, or rather, will be obliged
to see it.
Now ihe inscription. This is the
most important thing about the monu
ment, more so, even than the location;
more so, far more so, than the cost
or beauty or material of which it is
made.
The inscription should not only "re
cite the story of Major Wirz’a death,
unjustly inflicted, to satisfy popular
clamor," but it should also recite the
horribly unjust trial at which one
hundred and sixty-five witnesses were
examined, and out of this number only
fifteen could he induced to say any
thing against him, and one, at least
of these fifteen, a deserter from the
United States army.
The inscription should also recite
the facts about the prisoners who
died while in the enemies hands, both
North and South, giving the number
of Confederate prisoners who died
in Union prisons and the whole num
ber captured, and the number of
Union prisoners who died in Confed
erate prisons, and the whole number
captured. If these facts are inscrib
ed on this monument it will prove to
all who read it beyond any doubt that
the Northern prisoners in Southern
prisons were better ' taken care of
than the Southern prisoners in North
ern prisons.
The inscription should also recite
the fact that the medicines that were
considered necessary to cure most ot
the ailments of the South were made
contraband of war by the United
States government, and the Confed
erate soldier could not get them for
friend or foe.
This inscription should be a his
tory showing to future generations
these facts that have been so long
and carefully hidden away from the
children of our land. I don't want
any one-sided, cantankerous spirit to
write this inscription, hut some broad
minded person who will write “the
truth the whole truth and nothing
but the truth." Let it be chiseled so
deeply In the marble that time will
not obliterate it, and so plain “that
a wayfaring man though a fool may
read it."
A Son of a Confederate Soldier.
Barnwell, S. C., Sept. 28, 1908.
OUTRAGED VIRTUE.
As leader of the Grand Old Party
Mr. Roosevelt is morally outraged by
Ihe thought that a person like Charlie
Haskell can hold public office and be
identified with the management of a ;
great political organization.
Mr. Roosevelt himself was nominat- j
ed for governor of New York by that
eminent purist Thomas Collier Platt. ]
His nomination for vice president j
was forced by those equally single-1
minded reformers Thomas Collier
Platt and Matthew Stanley Quay ]
Mr. Roosevelt used to" call Marcus
Alonzo Hanna “Uncle Mark," and ,
when that unselfish political philan- j
trophist was not sufficiently enthu
siastic over (he Roosevelt candidacy
the president used Joseph Benson
Foraker to club Uncle Mark into sub
mission.
Standard Oil is a stench in the pres- j
idential nostrils; but the Standard Oil i
bank still maintains its intimate rela- j
tions with the treasury department, i
Harrlman is hateful; but Harrlman
has not yet been compelled to answer
the questions put to him nineteen
months ago hv the interstate com
merce commission.
No presidential lightning strikes
Unde Joe Cannon for protecting the
paper trust. John Dalzell still repre
sents the steel trust in congress, and
Mr Roosevelt lumps him among the !
republican candidates whose election
is necessary to preserve the govern-i
ment from corporation influence. Thy
virtue that cannot abide Haskell
counsels freely with Aldrich, Penrose.
Elkins and Scott.
Klihu Root, who was Thomas F.
Ryan's personal attorney, remains in
the cabinet as secretary of state. ,
One of J. Pierpont Morgan's partners
is Mr. Root's assistant secretary; au-1
other Is collecting republican cam- 1
palgn tribute in Pennsylvania, and a !
third came back from Europe recent- ;
ly to express Ills great satisfaction
with the election returns from Ver
mont. George R. Sheldon is still in
Wall street divorcing the ruthless
mnlefartor* from their campaign con
tributions.
Surely It cannot be the Haskell cor
poration affiliation alone which so In
censes Mr. Roosevelt. Neither can it
be the sordid fact that Haskell has
been caught wltu the goods. The I
author of the letter to "My Dear
Sherman" In the matter of the Har
dman 1260,000 campaign contribution
would never repudiate a fellow-states
man simply for being the victim of a
.little unexpected ami. undestrejl pul,
Hetty.
Mr. Roosevelt has weighed Ihe dem-1
ocratle Haskell and finds him more
offensive than all the republican Has-;
kells combined, except such as hap
pen to be In opposition to My Poll )
de*. Can anything short of personal
and partisan prejudice account for
the intensity of this disfavor? Surely :
