Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 26.—The
county local option bill, giving each
county the right to decide whether
liquor shall be sold within its con
fines. passed at the special session of
the legislature today. The passage
of the bln is a great victory for Gov
ernor Hanley, who has made a de
termined iignt tor tne measure ever
since assuming office.
Hanley's term of office expires on
January 1. 1909. His successor-elect
Watson, received Hanley’s support
on the promise that he would en
deavor to bring about the enactment
of a county local option law. After
Wa’son' selection, however, he vir
tually repudiated the promise and
Hanley, in order to accomplish the
reform, called a special session of the
legislature.
A Dramatic Scene.
A dramatic scene marked the ffn-
si vote on the bill, which was op-
posed by the democrats, who caused
a great demonstration to delay mat
ters until the arrival of Representa
tive Johnson, one of their number,
accompanied by his little daughter
laying his hand tenderly on his
child’s head. Johnson started to ex
plain his vote. "I have been against
this bill." he said, "but certain in
fluences"—here
Johnson
looked
down at his daughter and broke in
to tears. After a pause he sobbed
"I can't vote, Mr. Speaker.”
The
daughter then put her arms around
ber father's neck and fn a moment
Johnson turned about and said: "I
Cote aye."
This action was followed by six
dem rats voting with the republi
cans. making a majority of votes for
the bill.

80 Broadway, Sept. 25.—To the
Editor of the New York Ttimea Sir:
Since our Interview of September 2 2,
which was followed on September 23
by the publication In the Times of a
statement then made by me relative
to the article attributed to the author
ship of the late Grover Cleveland,
which wm published In the Times
on August 30. I now desire to say
that there since came to my knowl
edge evidence which leaves In my
mind no doubt of the fact that the
said article was not written nor
signed by Grover Cleveland, and
therefore Is. In my opinion, no longer
entitled to credit as his production.
Mrs. Cleveland. In my Judgment,
was right in regard to It, when she
positively declared to us since its
publication: "I do not believe It Is
genuine." I therefore hasten to in
form you of my conclusion regarding
the article and beg to express the
hope and bellsf that you will prompt
ly give to this communication the
same degree of prominence in the
Times that was given to the state
ment made by me In your Isaue of
September 23.
Yours respectfully.
F. S. HASTINGS,
Mrs. Cleveland, assisted by person
al friends of her husband, conducted
a searching Inquiry to learn whether
the article was authoritative
The
result Is the letter from Hastings to
the Times. The doubt thrown upon
the matter now. It Is said, likely will
cause the recall of a great number
of pnmphlets, contHInlng the article,
which has been distributed by the
republican organization.

The denial of the authenticity of
an article claimed to have been writ

llshed In the Now York Times caus’d

can headquarters
R. L. Oulahan.
In charge of the literary bureau of
the republican national committee
made the following statement on
the subject:
"Mr Hastings, executor of the
Cleveland estate, told me two days
ago that he was convinced that the
letter was genuine. This was after
the authenticity of the letter bad
been questioned. Now he comes nut
and says he believes It was not au
thoritative
Consequently, as far an
the republican national committee I*
concerned, no further attention will
be given to the document.”
