What A Woman Knows Of Grover

The followtog letter taken from the columns of tlie West Winsted (Conn ) lerakl, was written b}r a lady residing in 3orfu, N. Y., who ib well known bj' the amüy of one of the best business men in Ann Arbor. We advise our temperance riends especiülly to read it earefully and boagbtfull; t Many Winsted people remember Miss leien Bacon, who a few years ago was a esiüent of this town. A few days sinee he following letter was received from ler, ccompanied by the request that if rablUbed lier name tnight be witliheld, as he did not desire the notoriety it would ring. Thinking, however, that that the rablicatton of an anonynions letter on his suliject might be regarded with susicion, we wrote lier asking to aflix her Ignalure, to which request she gave asent by telegraph on Wednesday. We ommend a careful pernsal of it by the einparance woinen of Wiusted, and by upportersof the St. John and Daniel ticket. Mrs. Webb's home is near Buffalo, he home of the democratie candidate for be presidaucy. Ed. Heuald.] Coiu-u, N.Y., Oct. 13, 1884. Sdltor Winsted Herald : Reading with especial interest at the )resent time the Winsted Herald as it comes to me week after week I would be lermitted to ask the good and noule temjerance women of Winsted : Are they aking into irue considei-itiou all that is being cffecled through the favoring of what is called the probibitlon or St. John ticket? Do they reali.e that for every such vote cast they are advancing toward the highest gift in this nation - the presidential chair - a maa of whose vileness the half has not been told ! Iwrite whereof Iknow.' Belter, a tliousand times beteer, our husbands, our sons and our jrothers should go down to the bottomless pit as drunkards than as sensualists who drag with them the souls of the vietims they have ruined ! It will be the hardest thing I can ever be called upon to do to nñainCain my respect for any man who this fall casts his vote for the democratie nominee. Such a voto will be a groas insult to wife, chil3 ren, sister, friend. Drunkenness will cense in the land wliea well directed efl'oit shall effectfthrough moral and social law its eternal disgrace. Read over the papers of the independent press for this year 1884, and see with what wondeiful result No Liceuse bas been accomplished in the state of Georgia. No political legislation of either party, bilt united in tl;e common cause for the conimon good, whole counties are without a license within their borders. I pray pardon for this long letter, but loving with all the intensity of my heart the dear old home of my chidhood, I cannot endure that any of tshonseholds should be delnded this fall in the wrong direct Ion. . # -s s lïespcctfully, (Signed) Mrs. Helen B. Wkub. (Postsciipt to the editor.) You may not think best to publish this letter. I certainly do not desire notoriety, but knowing Cleveland as a bad man, having every facility for knowing (the itaXics are hers. - Ed.) I can not bear that my sex should at. the present time work except for his efeat. God grant It may be. Add no name to my letter if givne notice. Kespectfully,
