Saturday was a busy day among the

Butler says that he has not yet made up
his mind whether he will accept the

not appear to have hesitated about the
matter. He says that he notified the
Greenback Committee that he would not
accept, and he tails t understand why

L Hendricks* Letter to Chnndler.
Mr. Hendricks was quick to reply to
e letter of Secretary Chandler. Evi
dently the Secretary thought that he had
a good case against Mr. Hendricks, and
probably chuckled with satisfaction
when he read his letter in print. The
Sits suggested yesterday that Mr.
Chandler would have shown wisdom by
remaining quiet, and he doubtless thinks
so, too, now. Mr. Hendricks* reply is a
scorcher. It shows the weakness of
Mr. Chandler’s defense so clearly that he
will hardly attempt to engage again in a
controversy with Mr. Hendricks.
The criticism of the Navy Department
management by Mr. Hendricks was per
fects proper. Mr. Hendricks is a private
citizen and Mr. Chandler is the bead of
one of the great departments of the gov
ernment. Frauds that covered more than
two years of time were discovered. The
testimony given by Mr. Chandler before
an investigating committee showed that
he had received a warning of what was
going on sufficient to put him on his
guard. He does not apnear to have made
such an inquiry as the nature and ex
plicitness of the charges demanded.
When the wrone-doing could no longer be
concealed an investigation revealed that
the government had been robbed of $63,-
000.
Mr. Chandler undertook to place the
blame on Surgeon General Wales, the
bead of the bureau in which the frauds
were committed, and to further shield
himself called attention to the fact that
eminent Democrats in Congress had
recommended Wales lor reappointment.
Mr. Hendricks refuses to let Mr. Chand
ler saddle the responsibility on Mr. Wales
or anvbody else. He insists, and rightly,
that it rests on Mr. Chandler, and the
country no doubt agrees with Mr. Hen
dricks.
Mr. Hendricks strikes a keynote when
he says that a time has come for achange;
that the people want to see the govern
ment books opened and examined by a
committee of competent experts. If that
examination could only be made before
the campaign is over it is probable
enough crookedness would be found to
cause the people to vote by an overwhelm
ing majority in favor of giving the control
of the government to the Democratic
party.
Movements Among the Workingmen
There appears to be a good deal of spec
ulation about the intentions ol the work
ingmen in the present campaign. Imme
diately after Blaine’s nomination the Ty
pographical Union of New lork said that
not only would the Union throughout the
country oppose Blaine, but that it would
use its influence with other labor organi
zations against him. It was pointed out
that the Knights of Labor were closely
allied to the Typographical Union, and
that that organization would in all
probability be lound hostile to the
Republican ticket. A committee has
been appointed by the union
to visit the leading cities and towns of
the country to organize the labor element
against Blaine. The reason of the Union’s
opposition to Blaine is that the New York
Tribune, which is the leading Blaine
organ of the country, refuses to employ
uuion printers. As soon as Cleveland
was nominated it was widely asserted
that the workingmen would not support
him because it was claimed that he favor
ed monopolies, and that as Governor of
New York he vetoed all bills favoring
workingmen and approved those which
favored monopolists. From these state
ments and assertions it appears that the
workingmen are in a dilemma. If reports
are to be believed, neither Cleveland nor
Blaine satisfies them, and it Butler re
fuses to be the candidate of the Anti-
Monopolists and Greenbackers, there
will be no one they can vote for who
meets their approval. It the truth were
known it would doubtless appear that
there is no considerable amount of dis
satisfaction among tip workingmen with
either Cleveland orßlaine. Doubtless
studied and persistent attempts will be
made to induce the country to believe
that there is. Intelligent printers, if they
are Republicans, will not refuse to
vote for Blaine simply because a
newspaper that supports him is not
a union paper, and it is certain
that intelligent workingmen will not be
deterred from supporting Cleveland
by the clap-trap about his vetoes of the
five cent fare bill and the street car dri
vers’ bill. Workingmen know the rea
sons for these vetoes, and as the reasons
are honest and unanswerable, they will
honor and admire him for his courage in
doing his duty, rather than boycott him
at the suggestion of demagogues, lt may
be accepted as certain that Blaine will
lose very few votes because of the hostil
ity of the Typographical Union to the
New York Tribune, and Cleveland will
not suffer in popularity because of his
ac’s since he has been Governor of New
York. If there is any great movement of
workingmen from one candidate to
the other it will be for reasons independ
ent of personal grievances. The work
ingmen are as anxious for honest govern
ment as the business or professional men
are, and it is probable that a great ma
jority of them will support the ticket
which gives the greatest promise of hon
est government. Of course that ticket is
Cleveland and Hendricks.
Proposing to Reverse the Ticket.
The editor of the Times, at Albany, New
York, is satisfied with the Democratic
nominees, but he thinks that Hendricks’
name ought to be first and Cleveland’s
second. He proposes, therefore, to sup
port Cleveland and Hendricks, but will, at
the same time, insist that if the Demo
crats are successful the electoral college
shall select Hendricks for President and
Cleveland for Vice President. He argues
at considerable length in favor of the
right of the electoral college to choose any
botlv it desires within the party for Pres
ident and Vice President. Without ques
tioning his position with regard to the
power of the electoral college, it may be
safe, perhaps, to assume that the Albany
editor is something of a crank. Whatever
the electoral college may have done in
the early days of the Republic, It
is certain that it would be a very extra
ordinary condition of affairs that would
induce the country" to acquiesce in any ac
tion of the electoral college that did not
fully carry out the will of the people as
expressed at the polls. Probably the time
will never come when the electoral col
lege will undertake to choose any other
man President than the one indi
cated by the ballot-box. Since
the adjournment of the convention
numerous individuals of more or less
prominence have expressed the opinion
that the ticket was reversed, and that the
bead was where the tail ought to be.
Doubtless these individuals are not
friends of Cleveland. Every day it is be
coming more apparent that no mistake
was made, and before the campaign is
closed the opinion will be about unani
mous that the ticket is right as it is. Cleve
land has the qualities, which are needed
in a President in a more marked degree
than Hendricks has. Hendricks may
have a wider knowledge than Cleveland
has of national affairs, because he has
been in public life much longer, but he Is
certainly not his superior in those quali
ties which it is necessary a chief magis
trate should possess.
A thorough inspection of the timbers in
the government wharf at Ship Island
shows that the piles which were thorough
ly creosoted have not been Injured by
ship worms, as has been stated. Both
the government and railway officials were
firmly convinced of the fact, and the dis
covery is a grateful one, ior if the reports
had proven true, many miles of railroad
bridges on the Mississippi coast would
have had to be rebuilt with .iron at enor
mous expense.
The wall paper manufacturers shrewdly
destroy all paper left at- the end of. each
season, and the next season an entire
change of patterns is made. This is done
in order to prevent parties from buying
small lots for patchwork, and to force
them to buy enough to repaper their rooms
instead of to repair the old paper. The
profits on the new paper thus sold is so
much greater than the value of the old
paper that all the manufacturers in the
United States except two or three follow
this rule.
The Poison Age.
The nervous man who wishes to enjoy
peace of mind in this age, had beat either
avoid all reading matter, or have some
one employed to carefully re-edit the books
and papers be desires to read, and elimi
nate everything therefrom which is cal
culated to alarm him.
The newspaper* of the day are full of
poisoning accidents. Some beings have
their daya cut off by the maiden-entranc
ing ice cream; others owe their demise to
an over fondness for canned peas. Another
is brought to a full stop by corned beef;
and now a Detroit family of twelve persons
has been poisoned by cold roast turkey
which bad been left over night in a brass
kettle. The lead-coated can is very effi
cient as an annihilator of the human race,
but the brass kettle is daily at work rear
ing monuments to its destructive power,
and giving undeniable proof that it is
mightier than the sword, or the revolver,
or the Gatling gun, or the great 120-ton
breach-loader at Woolwich arsenal.
It is true in nature that every poison
has its antidote. With regard to the brass
kettle, however, prevention is better than
cure. There are several ways to avoid
being poisoned by brass kettles, but there
is only one way that never fails. If these
directions are faithfully carried out no
evil effects need be apprehended. Take the
kettle off the stove carefully and clean it
thoroughly. Then take an ax or sledge
hammer and flatten it out nicely. After
this lt should be doubled up as a napkin
is folded and carefully wrapped in a clean
newspaper. It should then be swapped
to the junk dealer for a bar of soap. Thia
will render it perfectly and permanently
harmless.
When we have escaped the fatal brass
kettle, we may look out for dangers else
where. We are informed that the fields
and forests are full of poisonous plants
and reptiles and insects; the meat and
bread and vegetables we eat are either
poisonous or infested with the deadly
trichinae; the water we drink is full of
bacillarkc and a thousand injurious forms
of animal and vegetable life and mineral
substances, while the very air we breathe
carries with it the germs of various mala
dies—malaria, tuberculosis, diphtheria,
etc. If you avoid the infected water and
trydistilled liquors you will more than
likely imbibe the murderous fusel oil.
Your tea and coffee are equally fatal.
Your wall paper is colored with arsenic,
and even your cheap newspapers are
printed with poisonous ink on poisonous
paper. Everywhere you turn you are
confronted with poisons, and the patent
medicine advertisements would have you
believe that your very blood is filled with
virus of the most fatal kind. Verily, this
ia the poison age.
Another Chance to Gamble.
It seems that there are not yet sufficient
facilities lor gambling in this country.
There are classes that have not yet been
lured into speculative gambling by
shrewd and unscrupulous operators.
Stocks have no attraction for them, and
they do not know enough about cotton,
grain and pork to venture into the realm
of futures. Speculation in futures has
almost ruined legitimate business in
grain and provisions, and now it pro
poses to invade the field of dry
goods. There is a movement
to buv and sell futures in cotton prints.
This will give the dry goods jobbers and
the county merchants an opportunity to
get clear of some of their surplus cash.
They don’t know much about the lard and
pork market, and grain and slocks pre
sent difficulties which they do not pre
tend to master, but when the question of
the price of calico is suggested they feel
that they know all about it. If the move
ment to sell cotton print futures proves a
success the dry goods clerks, as well as
their employers, will have anew
avenue opened up to them for squander
ing their surplus. As the surplus of the
clerks is seldom very large, it is probable
that bucket shops will have to be es
tablished for their accommodation, lt
looks as if we were rapidly becoming a
nation of gamblers. As long as the
gambling was confined to securities the
harm was limited, but when it extended
to cotton and food products the damage
to legitimate business as well as to
morals was immense. The selling of
cotton print futures is the first attempt of
the gamblers to enter the field of manu
factured products, and it indicates that
every field will be entered where there is
a probability of finding customers.

Response from tbe Hearts.
Xe%c York World {Dent.)
The response to the nomination comes from
the hearts of the people. There is no faction
or partisanship about it. It is due to the ear
nest conviction that the issue is now fairly
joined between official integrity ami official
corruption, and the people are on the side of
the honest Candidate.
Full Faith in Hendricks.
Philadelphia Time* (Ind.).
There may be factions in the Democratic
party in Indiana, but if so, every member of
each turns with the utmost faith to Thomas
A. Hendricks. He has had the uniform sup
port of his State in a greater degree than any
American politician in any party, knd there
is no reason for the assumption that he will
not have it now.
Judicious, Wise, Progressive.
JTe to York Sun (Ind.).
The platform escapes the great dangers that
have beset the Democracy, and escapes them
not bv any compromise of doctrine or any
juggle’qf words. The whole question is placed
on the ground of practical statesmanship ami
the necessities of the country. The free trader
surrenders no iota of his aspirations; the pro
tectionist has nothing to construe away or
apologize for. It is judicious, wise and pro
gressive. It is wbat the Sun has contended
for during the last two years. We are con

A girl on horseback, with her feet on the
unusual side of the beast, is described by a
correspondent of the Omaha Herald. Her
saddle was in reversal of established usage,
because she is an inveterate horsewoman,
and she is convinced that, by spending hours
every dav in a cramped position, with her
feet always thrown distorted!y to the same
side, she was getting so that she felt ‘•lop
sided." and it took the rest of a day after a
long ride for the sensation to wear off that she
was “wound up and set, like a toy locomotive,
to run round and round in a circle.”
Bishop Htgh Miller Thompson has writ
ten a letter, in response to inquiries, in which
he vouches for tho remarkable hcallhfnlness
of Mississippi. He says his own experience
and that of men who have removed from the
North to Mississippi is that it is a rarely
healthy climate and country, and that for
delicate people, delicate in lungs or throat,
with catarrhal or bronchial troubles, it is a
home of health and comfort. And as to ma
laria, Bishop Thompson assorts that it is more
to be dreaded in a week on the Hudson than
in all the borders of Mississippi in a lifetime.

A story ia imported from Paris about Mr.
Vanderbilt. Some canes attracted his atten
tion on a street stand. They were common
things, but the wood was strange to him, and
he stopped to buy one. He is known to a
great many people in Paris, and the amount
of his wealth is exaggerated, immense as it
is. The salesgirl smilingly replied, when he
asked the price of the cane he had selected,
“Twenty francs, Sir Yanderbeelt.” The price
ought to have been about two frane*. The
millionaire dropped tbe cane angrily and
passed on. He soon came to another lot of the
ume goods. Here he bought a cane at the
right figure, and went away without the
change dne out of a five franc piece.
The window* near the top of a music
garden, as described by a close investigator,
were filled with plants, looking green and
cool, ss seen by a person sitting in the swelter
ing audience below. He observed that four
leaves, and no more, were swaying as though
moved by a troorbreeze. They were palms,
broad and long, and at times they seemed
likely to twist themselves off their stems, so
violent and rotarv was their motion. Then
he began to wonder why none of the other
leaves was affected by the wind; and from
that went to doubting the genuineness of that
singular draught, which was so properly
placed to convince the audience that the air
up there was in brisk circulation. An exami
nation proved that the four leaves were oper
ated by clockwork.
The Anarchist Stellmacher. who was re
cently condemned to death in Vienna, has
made'repeated attempts to forward letters to
his colleagues, in which he begged them to
smuggle his beans into the cell. He meant
dynamite bombs. He intended to apply for a
fresh trial, at which he would reveal impor
tant facts concerning the organization of the
Anarchist conspiracy as well as the manufac
ture of explosives; but he would stipulate that
besides the examining Judge, the President of
the Tribunal, tbe Director of tbe Police, and
the Ambassador of Germany should be pres
ent as witnesses, as he would only make hi*
revelations in the presence of these persons.
Then, a* soon as all should lie assembled, he
would propose the alternative that he should
be liberated at once, or that he would throw
tbe bombs, so that no one should escape alive.
The Chinese provinces of Kwong Tung,
Kwong Sai. and Wan Nam are now thrown
open to foreigners. This opening gives for
eigners a right to enter for traffic, for resi
dence or for religious purposes. The mission
aries are hopeful of being able to add to the
slender forces which have for some time been
admitted under restrictions. Kwong Tung
contains a population of 15,000,000, to whom
the Presbyterian Church ha- been sending six
missionaries, six women teachers, and three
pbvsicians. Kwong Sai has 100,000 000 popu
lation. It had a Baptist chapel, from which
the missionary was some time ago driven out;
also a Presbvterian chapel, which has no
preacher. Wan Nam has about 7,000,000 pop
ulation, with one missionary. There is a loud
call for more missionaries to carry the gospel
to these people, but there is a lack of funds
wherewith to meet the expense.
On Saturday, June 21, the shores of
Mount’s Bay, England, presented a sight
which is not remembered by the oldest Corn
ishman. A school of mackerel of enormous
magnitude came down the channel with the
rushing sound of a heavy sea. and the ocean
for some distance is described as appearing to
be •Tull of fish.” When caught they were found
to be so soft as to scarcely bear handling,
being so verv thin-skinned; and large num
bers burst almost before they were dead.
Cartloads of them were got ria of at 6U. per
120. to be used as manure, and 8,000 in one
boat were offered for that purpose at £l, but
refused on the ground that there was nowhere
to stow them away and no salt to save them
from destruction.! But the Cornish fishermen,
more humane and long-sighted thau those of
some other countries, carried off a large num
ber of the fish tor which there was no market
and returned them to the sea. Quite 30,000
were so disposed of.
Capt. Condeh. of the Palestine Exploration
Fund, asserts that he has made anew and im
portant discovery as to the site of Calvary and
the Holy Sepulchre. The tomb he has found
is a solitary one, differing from the old type of
Hebrew tombe. It is near the spot where
Stephen is supposed to have been stoned, and,
contrary to tiie Hebrew style, contains, after
the manner of the Greek tombs, a shelf where
two angels could have sat—“one at the head,
the oilier at the feet.” The locality now
known as the “Holy Sepulchre,” and covered
witli the church of iliat name, is an old Jewish
tomb which was discovered in the time of the
Emperor Constantine. Although popular
sentiment has honored it as the tomb of
Christ, scholars and explorers have not with
any great degree of unanimity so regarded it.
One of the great objections against it is that
it was within the walls of the city, whereas
the crucifixion and burial are said to have
taken place outside the city.
The Pope is a hard working man. The ac

His Holiness rises at 7, celebrates mass, after
having spent some time in contemplation.
At 8 the decisions of his congregation and his
other correspondence is attended to, and at 11

At 12:30 he takes a walk in the garden of the
Vatican. He dines at 2 o’clock, his dinner

After a short rest the Pope walks in his

BUTLER TALKS.
He Hasn’t Made up his Mind about Hl*
Future Movement*—A Job that was
Fat np on a Greeabacker.
In an interview, says tbe New York
Timet, while on his way from Chicago,
Gen. B. F. Butler said: “I have never
told any one that I should run as an Inde
pendent candidate for President. That is
not determined on. I cannot say what
will or will not happen, ao far as the
coming election may depend upon me.
Your idea that my candidacy will draw
support from both the Democratic and
Republican parties, and that, therefore,
the totals will be proportional, not affect
ing the result, my vote being the least,
makes me but a fly on the wheel.
There * are a hundred Congres
sional districts in which the
election is settled by less than a vote of
500 one way or the other. Suppose men
are organized for work in those districts,
who thinks it worth while to solicit their
support? The men who want to be Gov
ernors and Congressmen. Some men wish
to be President that they may send their
names down in history. That motive does
not affect me. My name will figure in
the history of this country. The school
boys of the future will know of Butler
when the names of some of the Presidents
will l>e lost even to history. But there
are many earnest and true men who feel
that I represent them, and that I
should do so in a more active
way. They urge me to remain a candi
date for President, to stand for the princi
ples which they believe in, and in which
they know I sympathize. Is it best for
tbein and for me ? They are good men
and tru*. sincere in their belief, and in
seeking the public welfare, I have already
accepted the nomination of the Green
back party. The best things in the Demo
cratic platform 1 subscribe to. Some of
them are substantially my own views. I
have met Gov. Cleveland but once, and
have bad no quarrel with him, but he is
not the representative of those principles
in regard to the government of corporate
powers, transportation, currency, and the
labor Question in which 1 believe. Let
me make it plain to you why he is not
acceptable to a great body of men.”
Gen. Butler recapitulated with particu
larity Gov. Cleveland’s position on the
Elevated Railroad fares bill, the car
drivers bill, and the Orphan Asylum bill,
which have lately been employed to
affect the success of Gov. Cleveland’s
nomination at Chicago. “Now,” con
tinued Gen. Butler after this diversion,
“New York is the battle ground of this
election. The work will be concentrated
there. If l were to spread inysell out,
then, over the conntry I could effect noth
ing—[sarcastically]—a fly on the wheel.
But suppose 1 take New York. In
military parlance, suppose I mass my
forces, not weaken them in a long, thin
line. During the last campaign in Massa
chusetts I "made sixty-three speeches
in twenty-one days. Having the motive
of my own treatment at the convention,
and the fervent co-operation of the Anti-
Monopolist and tbe Greenback Labor
parties, something might be done. In
that case you might change tbe figures;
you would" not call me the‘fly on the
wheel,’ but the ‘ bull in a china shop,’ or
perhaps [laughing heartily,] ‘a jackass
dancing among the chickens.’ ”
At this point a middle-aged gentleman,
one of the passengers, came hurriedly
along the aisle-and said: “Excuse me for
interrupting you, General. I only wanted
to shake hands with you.”
Gen. Butler—Thank you, sir.
Passenger—And to say that two of us,
smoking and talking in tbe ear ahead,
concluded to take a vote, and have done
so. I report to you the result: 1 for
Blaine, 15 for Cleveland, and 16 for
Butler.
The passenger then departed as hur
riedly as he had entered. Gen. Butler
said: “I hardly think that vote came from
the drawing room car. I should judge,”
he continued, “that the vote is a fair ex
pression of the sentiment of tbe people
taken here and there as you find them. If
that is the case, Cleveland bad better de
cline in my favor. In the matter of a hear
ing I was treated tairlv by the con
vention; the delegates listened re
spectfully, and 117 of them voted for my
platform. I knew how to estimate the
cries of those put into the audience for
tbe purpose of insulting and howling
down all opposition to Cleveland. It is
tbe few men who manage tbe machine
who are responsible for this sort of thing.
Think of it. Three thousand tickets dis
tributed by the National Committee to
New York’s Cleveland contingent and 130
to Massachusetts. However, I do notcom
plain. Twenty or thirty men in Congress
of firmness, acting together solidly, will
control the House and legislation.”
“The nomination of Hendricks for
President might have been easily accom
plished,” said the General. “The affair
was badly managed. I do not think
the Cleveland men had an understanding
about it, but when the affair began to go
wrong they had plenty ol time to discern
what was up, and to effectively guard
against it. There was a meeting the
night before, at which the matter was
discussed. I advised that nothing be at
tempted on the second ballot that should
do more than set men to thinking. The one
vote for Hendricks from Illinois would
have come in all right. Being a repeti
tion of the last ballot, it would not ex
cite remark. Indiana should have stood
firm to McDonald. Then when the list
had been completed one of the States,
perhaps Michigan, should have asked to
change, and announced a few votes for
Hendricks. This would have set the peo
ple wondering what was up, and pre
pared matters for the next ballot, Ar
kansas. starting on the roll at the next
call with votes for Hendricks, with some
few in those folio wing, would have put
the thing in irresistible motion. But the
usual stupid work of men in masses hap
pened, when the explosion took place over
the vote, and the Indiana men lost their
heads. “I shall do nothing in a pet,” con
cluded Gen. Butler. “I shall not speak in a
pet. If such had been my mind, I had
reason enough to show it at the conven
tion. No, I will take plenty of time to
shape my course. I have said more to
you on this subject than to any other
man. If there is iusion in Michigan the
electoral ticket ought to be arranged as I
have previously said. Twenty-six good
men should be selected, and the ballots
should be headed so as to ascertain the
number cast for the two candidates. The
amount would determine the percentage
of each for electors, and the odd men
should go to the biggest fraction. I can
not say whether this will be done or at
tempted in Michigan.
Later on, when the conversation with
Gen. Butler had terminated, a visit was
made to the smoking car. Who should be
found there but Democrats returning
from Chicago. They were asked how it
was that the carload happened to be so
strongly for Butler. “Just this way,”
said one, “our Greenback friend and his
associate were engaged in a long discus
sion, and the other, to back his opinions,
challenged the Greenbacker to take a vote
of the car. We then decided to put up a
job on him, and all of us hereabout voted
for Butler when the tally came round.”
KELLY’S VIEWS.
He Propose* to Consult with Tammany's
Voters.
“Well, Mr. Kelly,” said a World re
porter, “what do you think of the nomina
tion.”
“I think,” he replied after some hesita
tion, “that it means defeat. I thought so
before it was made, and I think so still. I
am sorry that the convention was
as not to see it.”
“What action will Tammany Hall fake in
reference to it ?”
“It will not take any action at present.
Fortunately, the General Committee at
its last meeting adjourned over till Sep
tember. Before that time arrives there
will doubtless be many gatherings of la
boring men, who compose the larger
share of the voters of the organization,
and 1 have no doubt the Republican
papers will take good care to publish
their proceedings. The public will then
find out wbat they think of the nomina
tion, and their views and wishes will fur
nish a guide to the action of Tammany
Hall.”
“I have been told that you had an in
terview with Gen. Butler after the nomi
nation and before you left Chicago. What
does he say about the nomination?”
“Yes, 1 had an interview with Gen.
Butler. He says the ticket will be de
feated, and that it deserves to be. He
predicts that the majority against it in
Massachusetts will not be less than 27,-
000. Mr. John W. Cummings, who was
with him at the time, said that the Demo
crats would lose his Congressional dis
trict (the Worcester district) by 3,000 in
consequence of this nomination. Gen.
Butler further gave it as his opinion that
with Bayard or Thurman as a candidate
the Democrats would carry Massachusetts
without difficulty.”
Mr. Kelly’s Secretary, John H. Mooney,
being asked his views of the nomination
and the probable course that Tammany
Hall would pursue, said that the nomi
nation was of course distasteful to him,
personally, but the action that Tam
many Hall would take would depend en
tirely on the wishes of the voters of that
organization. Those who went to the
convention would report to them when
they got home, and leave it for them to
decide what shall be done.

CLEVEUAYIVS LOVE STORY.
Why the Bachelor Governor Never Ob
tained a Bride—The Hero of Many Af
fair* of the Heart—A Brunette Lady
who May Grace the White House Par
lor*.
Buffalo, July 13.—Gov. Cleveland has
had many love affairs, but not so much as
a bachelor of his weight, politically and
socially, would be expected to have. His
love affairs have all been of the platonic
kind,and it is said by his friends that he has
been incapable of falling deeply enough in
love to propose to any girl since he be
came a lawyer in 1859. When he was
just able to support himself he became
enamored of a pretty and beautilul
voung woman who was a rela
tive ot the late Judge Yerplanck.
The girl was not disposed to look favora
bly on his suit, and this made him love
her the more. She was quite a flirt and
delighted to tantalize him by permitting
other young men to escort her home from
the old Eagle Street Theatre, which was
then the only place of amusement of any
account in the city. The girl was com
paratively wealthy and looked down on
Grover, who was "a poor lawyer. After
awhile she got to thinking tondlyot him,
and it is said that they were engaged to
be married when she was taken ill with a
fever and died. •
Cleveland did not recover from the
shock for several months, and though he
has a bachelor’s liking for pretty ladies
his friends say that he will never marry.
One lady became so infatuated with him
that she proposed to him. lie rejected
her advances, and it is said that she be
came crazy and is now confined in an
asylum.
Gov. Cleveland has always been ot are
tiring disposition, and most of his time
has been spent in his law library or in the
company of bachelor friends.
His most frequent • places of resort
were the City Club and the high-toned
Buffalo Club on Delaware avenue. There
he was accustomed years ago to spend
most of his evenings playing cards and
telling or listening to stories told by a
coterie composed of the late Hon. Ham
mou 8. Cutting, the late John Allen,
Vice President ot the Central and Hud
son Railroad, and other unmarried gentle
men.
A friend of the Governor told the Jour
nal correspondent to-day a romantic story
of how a lady living near Poughkeepsie
engaged in correspondence with the Gov
ernor since he was elected Mayor, and
that a tender feeling had sprung up be
tween them. They have met but four
times, once when Cleveland was Sheriff, a
few years later at Saratoga, after Cleve
land" was elected Mayor and once since he
has been Governor. This friend said that
it was quite likely that the lady would be
married by Cleveland if elected President,
and that she would grace the White
House parlors at his reception. The lady
is described as beinga charming brunette,
about 35 years old, with pleasing man
ners and considerable property. Inquiry
among other friends verified the story, but
no one would tell the lady's name or just
where she lived, except that it was in a
small town near Poughkeepsie.

yourself. If they are still too high, we will
lower them further, for they must go. Now

to You About Fans.

ful Palmetto Fan at lc. to the very finest style
and quality. These goods were purchased
this week from the Assignee of the importing
house of Nathaniel Bloom in New’ York at
one-third its actual cost, hence these unex
ceptional bargains.
Now a Word or Two About Onr Gloves.
We have them in Silk and Thread, in Jersey
style, Foster Hook and Button, in blaek anil
in white, and every imaginable shade; also, a
full line of Silk Mitts, and have made prices
to correspond with the rest of our stock, very
very low indeed.
Please bear in mind that these Goods at these prices will be sold only whilst they last.
Wecannot duplicate them at these prices, and its we expect a very large rush, they can't last
very long. If you do not wish to be disappointed call early, or else do not blame us if you
find the best bargains gone.
