BURCHARD ON BROADWAY A Letter from the President—Johnny Jingo Ingalls in Town—Strange FncU About the Vote for Presi¬ dent—A Had Ureuk. Nf.w York, Nov. 24.—[Special.]—A personal letter from President Cleveland has been received by a prominent gen¬ tleman of this city, in which he says he will remain at Oak View until the meet¬ ing of congress, in order to devote his entire time, without interruption, to the preparation of his annual message to congress. He will deny himself to all callers except officials who call on public business, and his afternoon receptions to the public will be suspended until after the meeting of congress. He declares he will not visit the White House again this month unless it is found necessary to meet the members of the cabinet there. The president adds that Mrs. Cleve¬ land is “greatly opposed to our not re¬ turning to the White House at once, but I feel as if l were more capable of hard labor in our present retreat.” Senator John J. Ingalls arrived to¬ night on a visit to some of his republi¬ can friends. It is not unlikely that his coming will create more or less of a stir, as he is undoubtedly one of the most taking and popular of the members of the republican party. Hjs principal charm lies as much in his talk as any¬ thing. The same habit of forcible and felicitous expression which characterizes his everyday speeches in tlie senate are employed in life, and, accordingly, lie is listened to with great eagerness. Mr. Ingalls's jubilation over the election finds vent in the. scraps of talk which are pub¬ lished about him throughout the west and his criticisms of the president are impressive, because of his linguistic and rhetorical exuberance. 1 hear Mrs. Amelie Rives-Chanler is hard at work on her new book to be called “A Simple Vision." The news¬ paper cuttingly will hint that the forth¬ '‘La coming volume rival Zola’s Reve” in its purity, and are daily making odious comparisons and speculations upon its sale. After all, that is the prin¬ ciple thing. Some *“* brought singular facts were out in by a politician of this city yesterday comparing the relative number of ballots polled in different parts of tho country at the November elections. Thus, in South Carolina, just about one-third of the voters went to the polls this year, and the total vote of the state, as offici¬ ally reported, was only 72.565. This is fully 12,000 'ess than the vote there four years ago. at the previous one-half presidential the election, and less than of vote pi He I in 1880. Thu population of the state is two-thirds large as that of the city of New York, and yet this city polled 274,745 ballots, or three and a half times more than .South Carolina. The politician went on making similar com¬ parisons with other parts of the country, and with the elections of other years, and those of my readers who choose to follow his example are sure to be in¬ structed and surprised by the facts they will discover. ,** Sherman the The break of Gen. at chamber of commerce dinner, where he proclaimed that ho was glad President Cleveland had been defeated, because he appointed “a rebel,” Judge Lamar, to a cabinet place, was the talk yesterday of down-town merchants and bankers, many of whom are members of the Union League Club. The ante-election speech of lien. Sherman at the club was recalled. He then declared that every soldier in the army should at all times show the greatest respect and regard for his comtuander-in-chief, the President of the United States, and somehow Gen. Sherman's utterances at the chamber of commerce banquet didn't seem to tally with his grandiloquent remarks at the Union League. But there was much charity for the old war horse on the ground that his public breaks with were stated to be more numerous every month he lives. *** criticising Speaking of army officers publicly their commander-in-chief, the president, recalls the experience of a New York newspaper man when sent to Gen. Phil Sheridan just before his last illness, with the desire for an interview as to liow he viewed President Cleve¬ land's administration. Gen. Sheridan was at the Fifth Avenue hotel at the time, and wore a plug hat and pepper- and-salt sack suit. He didn't look much like the fighter he was. When the news¬ paper man stated iiis errand, the general spoke in dignified but kindly tones, and said: “Don't you know that I cannot talk on that subject ? I’ll oblige you as far as 1 can on any other subject, but I must bo excused in this matter.” **# The people are become very much inter¬ ested in the Washington centennial next April. It is one of the few celebrations which seem to catch the busv citizens of New York family, body, soul, and boots, and people who go to understanding Europe this winter that do so with the full they are going to lose a very large and pretentious sort of show. •There goes the ftev.

We are both professional gentlemen, you know.’” Dion Boucicanlt, ,*» of Mr. manager A. M. Palmer's School of Acting, has been laid up for a fortnight with a cold that was so severe as to incapacitate him for work. A report got abroad yesterday that he was dangerously ill. It was said at Palmer's theatre last night, however, on Mr. Palmer's authority, that Mr. Boucieault was much better. His wife said she believed he would be able to resume his duties at the school in a day or two. A Editor David M.

It is bad *** Knight, too about poor George the actor of “Over the Garden Wall’’ fame. He is suffering with paresis, ap¬ parently from the same causes which re¬ sulted in the death of John McCullough and Bartley Campbell, and which have prostrated Tony Hart. It is said he can not live long. Knight's real name is George Sloan. He started on the stage as he a variety actor. About ten years ago married Miss Sophie Worrell, of the famous Worrell sisters. The marriage estranged Miss Worrell from her rela¬ tives for the time being, but finally,upon the birth of her first child, her relatives became reconciled, and have ever since been good friends. Mrs. Knight thinks the cause of her husnana s ureas ing down was me latmre of his play, “Baron Rudolph,” upon which he based hopes of future great¬ ness. He thought so much of this piece and his part in it that he had a $15,000 picture painted representing himself in one of ihe scenes. This play did not take, and from that Mr. Knight seemed to get worse. About two months ago it was noticed that his mind was gradually giving way, and af¬ terward, while he was in Los Angeles, word was telegraphed immediately, to his wife that her she must come on as husband was extremely ill. She started west home immediately, and returned about to their days in Orange with him ten ago. Ever since then the actor has been growing rapidly worse. It is said that he mav die any day. or even anv hour. Richard Malcolm Johnston, the fa¬ mous southern story writer, is in town, and is registered at the Everett House. Cade-Oaul. .JOHN M. WABU SOLD.

Col, Moore, however, eluded both scribes and rabble, and is said to he registered under an assumed name at the Galt house.

They tried at first to coax Frye into stepping aside in order to allow Blaine to return to the Senate, but Frye did not accom¬ modate them worth a cent. Now they are after Hale, but the latter is '’heck- mating them by insisting boldly in an interview that as nine-tenths of the rank and file of the republican party want Blaine in the cabinet, he feels sanguine that such an honor will be tendered to the man from Maine. Hale want* to hold on to his own seat in the senate, and prefers it to a cabinet ixwdtion. He is right.

The mistake loyally made has been that he did not stand by hi* political friends, lie is too selfish, and no matter how able and prominent in the senate he ha* been, his methods have repelled the men who swing the state delegations. It is awfully galling to John Sherman to know that a lightweight man like Harri¬ son is going to be the president of the United States after March 4th.” If Iowa is to have a place in the cabi¬ net the great question is, who is to get the honor ? It is said by friends of Mr. Clarkson, the editor of the Des Moines Register, that ho is not anxious to be numbered among Harrison’s official ad¬ visers, and some of Senator Allison’s ad¬ mirer* think that he will hardly consent to leave the senate to even take the treas¬ ury portfolio. He is a lead¬ ing man in the aenate, congenial and legislative duties are more to him than executive. Still, if the pressure is strong for him to take the new place, he may yield, and that would mean that the chances of other men in the northwest would grow beau¬ tifully less. There is a story that Senator Sherman would not care to go into a cabinet that includes Gen. Alger, of Michigan, as one of it* members. It will be remembered that tiie charge was freely made at the time of tiie national republican conven¬ tion in Chicago that Alger’s money weaned away from Sherman's support for the presidency many of the negro delegates of Virginia from corralled the south. those Riddleberger darkies here when they were on their way to Chicago.
