tanning Ct which her whole
life il devoted-the pardon Of a loved /
QUE frem life sentence. Sos rong and |
moving was her appeal that the govern
ol's private secretsI = and the lieu.snaOt- |
governor esch j)iued their appeal with |
hers. With tear in mis- eye, bis hand |
clasped, and every muscle Of his face be- |
traying his emotion, he governor said: |
MADAM, | cannot.n This is the gov |
ernor duIiug business hOurs. EOeially, |
among 8 chosen few. he is pleasant and |
iovial as the best bon e0DleTGde, and is |
not incapable Of smart ard tr ght things. |
As there is no Mrs TilGen, the sister Of
the governor, Mrs. P, lton, would be the
chief lady OF tbs Whits House in case OF
the governors promotion. she Is lew
wears Younger than the governor, and
has 8 decided resemblance to him,
though her face is much fuller. There
Is pink abCu. the complexion and
freshness in the face that tell OF youth
full beauty well preserved. She IL atfA-
BILE and socisble, and considered amOog
all who have been the recipients OF her
Inequalities to bs q most charming
hostess. Her ughter-in-law, Mrs.
William T Pelton, would assist hfr in
dispensing the hOspitslities CT the White
race. She is a's) charming woman,
with pleasant face and agreeable man
ners. A daughter Of Colonel Pelton,
twelve years of sgs, completes the
feminine list. Colonel Pelton, the
chic f-of- aIl-work for the governor,
holds the position Of military
secretary and the rank Of colonel and
aide .de-camp on the governors staff. He
| is q nephew of the governor, and is his
| De Witt CLIFTON. All the great enter
| prise5 which the brain of Tiluen has con-
ceived have been pressed to conclusion
| by Pelton, To his hands have been in
| trusted the business and political inter-
| ssts of the great manipulator for many
wears, and il was to his executive capac-
| ity that the interests Of the candidate
| were intrusted at Utica last spring and
| in ST. Louis this summer. He is man
thirty. seven or thirty eight years Of age,
tai and erect, with something OF mar
tisl aspect in the manner of carrying
his head, and a slight military air in his
way Of continually pulling his mustache.
He is dark haired, dark-eyeG and da:k-
mpIexiOned-s abrupt in con-
yersation, possessing little of his uncle's
suavity, but happily supplying the needs
of that more oily composition even by
his blu queness When interested in
any one, however, he is said by friends
to 90 any length to serve him. He viii
assume the place OF private secretary II
the 1vernor becomes President. The
establishment of Governor Tilden is con-
Quoted upon 8 scale of munificence well
worthy of so wealthy Sn official, and
in manner to reflect high credit upon
the State. Dom Pedro, who pat $40
through here at daybreak sons
weeks ago, and had the governor
mansion pointed out to him, is SAID
to have remarked that he was the only
official who seemed to have palace
worthy of him. The governor main
tsins about twelve servants, one o
them, the cook, having formerly beer
in the service of the same Dom Pedro
| He has eight hcTsss, two Of which ar
, | his favorite saGdle-steeds. He ride
: | nearly every morning upon one OF thes
through the beautiful Washington gars
and his graceful bearing, even upon
, | hIghly-mettled animal, is universally
. core sdej. He rides always unattended
except by personal friends, with whom
: he often tiles gallop on the road cut
. | side the park. He maintains also sevel
. caIriages-a landeau, brett, bro1gham
dog cart, clarence and two buggies-
and, il oces sion calls. could treat tn
Albauians to fine four in hand. Al
establishment so extensive requires
lavish expenditure, and his yearly ex
r | peuse for the household alone Is est
| mated at fifteen thousand dollars. Thi
, includes also receptions and dinner
given in his capacity as governor, 70
. none of which the State pays, assertion
3 to the contrary Notwithstanding.
