fFRoA OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE
NEW YORK. July IA.
For the thousandth time since the Cncin-
natl movement began hands were clasped
''across the bloody chasm" yesterday. The
scene was the farm at Chappaqua, where the
farmer candidate was entertaining about q
hundred politician guests from the North and
South, The antipodes of old politics met.
Began, the postmaster-general Of the Confede-
racy was there with Hlton, the most advanced
of the younger Radicals of New York. Bird,
the old Massachusetts abolitionist, stood by
the side of the fiery, untsmed luntll recently
secessiopist, Duke Gwln. Summers new
watchword, "ReconcilIaton," seemed to be in
scrlbed over the farmhouse. The daily papers
have given you good accounts of the love-
feast.
The lady who presided over the banquet was
Miss Ida Greeley. II will interest the readers
of TIE NEWS to hear something Of the two
Young women who are to have charge otthe
White House after next March. Mrs. Greeley
is confirmed invalid, and 1t is not probable
that more will be seen OF her In Washington

ley's daughters, thot18, are every way fitted
to do the honors OF the Executive Mansion.
No ladies that have been there since Miss
Harriet Lanes time will 30 well satisfy the
proper pride Of the American people. They
are both personally attractive, charming 10
manner and highly educated. One of them ls
possessed of rare mental gifts. Having been
Ia good society great deal, they have the
eass and ''deporLment" that that experience
bestows. Ida Ia sn occasional writer for the
press. She was at one time member OF Soro-
ss, the ladies' club, but retired after a years

woman suffrage. Gabrielle /; Roman Catho-

political editorial writer of the Werld, between
whom and her father, curious to say, the most
Intimate friendship exists.
At least q third OF the Baltimore delegates
came to New York on their way home. One
OF the Charleston delegates was OF the party
at Chappaqua yesterday. Poor Mr.. Greeley

brawny Sixth .warders had used 1t as II 1t were

An amusing feature Of the freshly-opened
campaign Is the sale OF Greeley fans on Broad
way and at the ferries. This unique inVen-
tion first appeared, believe, In the Baltimore
Convention. New York is now flooded with
1t. The fan consists of the great, round,
moon.1ace OF the next President, printed,
colored and cut to shape In pasteboard, trlnged
over the head and under She chin with long,
white. flowing hair, and affixed to a stick.

bands played the old tauntipg Orange airs,
