The so-called minister stated that thn President was intoxicated at the New England dinner, and on other occassions since he occupied hi piesent high position. Democrat and republicans, alike, who were present at the places referred to Ditterly denounced the story as fahie, afcd Lansing was forced to make an apology. This he did in a half-hearted manner, and when the apology was shown President Cleveland, he wrote the following letter: IWahiikgtox, April 11 "While hiso called retraction is an aggravation of his original offense, I & willing that his further punirfnnient should be left to his conscience and the contempt of hfc neighboas and the American people." "Grover Cleveland." Tiik appointment of General Morton C. Hunter as a member of if bdard that will have in charge the forty thousand dollars appropriated by the late legislature to erect monuments on the Chicaniaugua battle field to mark the places occupied by the Indiana regiments is one that reflects credit on Governor Matthews who made it.
