CLEVELAND GIVES IT THE LIE.

I. Taylor. a negr . had dined with him at the White I I.use while he was president. as charged li Rep resentative Scott. if Kansas. a few days ago. Mr. Webh said he had wrItten the 1ormer president send - ing him an extract from The Con gressional Record and asking if the statements made by r. Scott were true. "This morning.- he said. "I re ceived the followh1 reply." which he read amid applause: / 1'rinceton. N. f.. -March 2. E. Y. Webb. House of Representa tives. Dear Sir: It is a matter of small concern to me that a Mr. Scott has seen fit to use my name in a dis play of his evil propensities on the floor of the house of representa tives. In answer to your inquiry. however. I have to say of his state ment that the colored man. C. H. J. Tavlor. took lunch with me at the Wifte House that is it a deliberate facbrication out of whole cloth. As far as Mr. Tavlor is concern ed, I understand, prior to his ap pointment as register of deeds at Washington that he had served as an assistant in the office of the city attorney at Kansas City. His nomination as register was confirm ed by the senate and he served in that place with intelligence and effi ciencv. He has since died. Some people restrain themselves from abusing the dead. My inquiries concerning Mr. Taylor before his appointment, my observation of him (luring his in cumbency, and the little I have know .of him since satisfy me that his character is very unjustly at tacked in the diatribe of Mr. Scott. One charge is made against Mr. Tavlor by Mr. Scott which he doub lv clinches with truth when he de clares: "He was a black negro. I am led. however. to doubt his fa miliarity with his suggestion when he adds: "As black as you ever saw." 8 . Yours very truly, Grover Cleveland. Mr. Webb said he wanted this denial to travel that the statement of Mr. Scott might be overtaken. Mr. Cleveland was a friend of the negro. but not a fool friend." said Mr. Webb. "He never by word or action encouraged the social equality in the breast of the black man." This was greeted with applause by the Democrats. "Again."' he continued, "he was the friend of colored men, but he was also the friend of the southern white man and sympathized with us in our race p)roblems andl race burdens, and that, sir, is more than Mr. Roosevelt seems ever to have done."' Mr. Scott said he accepted the statement of Mr. Clev-eland as true and offered his apology to the for mer president. In justice to him self. said Mr. Scott, he desired to say that he never before heard the report denied. Mr. Swanson of \'irginia asked Mr. Scott where he had heard the report to which Mr. Scott replied that he had seen the statement in newspapers. Mr. Swanson asked further for a copy containing the statement. Mr. Scott exp)lainedl that these statements were madIe several years ago and the papers might noi t be easily l>rocuredl. Hie said that he had made full apoloigy ti Mir. Cleve land. Mr. Sc Itt addied that he had brought ti Mr. Gieveland for the first time in fou yersalplause.i fronm the Demnocra'tic- 'ide This was loudly applauded upon the mai rit' si o tihe chamber.
