That after the' birth of the child he hqji caused her to be confined iriKb Inssrffi sbylutn. (2) That while Mayor of Briffhfo be had been engaged in a disgraceful I'iglft in a bar room. (3) That since he has been Governor of New York he has visited' Buffalo, arid with three companions had spent the nijrht in a room with lewd women, drinking and carousing. These charges #6te first made by the Democrats agaifist xtr. Cleveland. The first one has been adfiritted by himself and friends to be triiS 8b fat as the coanec" tion with Mrs. Halpin Coticerrfted and the birth of the child. He deflics that die had put her into au insane asylum but admits that it was donb by his friends, and that he paid her the sum of SSOO.
