land hss had many love Affairs, but no,
90 much % . bachelor OF his weight,
politically and socially, would expect to
have. His love affairs have oil been oi
the platonic kind, and it 10 said BY his
friends that he has been incapable oi
falling deeply enough In love to propose
to any girl since he became q lawyer in
1859 When be was just able to supper,
himself he became enamored Of pretty
sni beautiful young woman who was q
relative OF the late Judge verplanck.-
The lady was not disposed to look fa.
vorably on his suit, and this made him
love her the more. She was quite fiirt
and delighted to tsDtslize him by per.
hitting other young men to escort her
home from the old Eagle street theatre,
which was then the only place of amuse-
went of any account in the city. The
girl WAS comparatively wealthy and look
ed down on Grover, who Was . poor
lawyer. After awhile she got to think.
ing fondly Of him, and it is said that
they were engaged to be married when
she was taken III with . fever and died.
Cleveland did not recover from the
shock for several months, and though
he has bachelors liking for pretty Ia
dies his friends say that he will never
marry One lady became % infatuated
With him that she proposed to him. He
rejected her advances, and is said that
she became crazy and is nov confined in
On as ylum.
Governor Cleveland has always been
Of . retiring disposition and most Of his
time has been spent in bis law library or
10 the company Of bachelor friends.
His most frequent places of resort
we're the City Club, and the high.toned
Buffalo Club on Delaware avenue. There
be was accustomed years ago, to spend
most OF his evenings playing cards and
telling or listening to stories told by .
corterie composed Of the late Hon.
Harmon s Cutting, the late John Al.
len, Vice President Of the Central b
Hudson Railroad, and other unmarried
gentlemen.
A friend Of the Governor told your
correspondent to-day . romantic story
of how . lady living near Poughkeepsie
engaged in correspondence with the
Governor since he wss elected Mayor
and that terder feeling had sprung up
between them. They have met but four
times, once when Cleveland was sheriff,
q few years later at Saratoga, after Cleve.
land was elected Mayor and once since
be has been Governor. This friend said
that il Was quite likely that the lady
would be married by Cleveland Il elect
ed President. and that she would grace
the White House pariors at bis reception.
The lady Is described as being q charm.
ing brunette, about thirty Eve years old,
with pleasing manners 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 1t WAS 10 Q small town near
Poughkeepsie.

Nc Abram s Hewitt is exactly ia tho con-
lition Of a .hss~sksr We once knew by the
name Of smith. There was dense fog one
morning, aud Smith spread out on the grass
IN front Of his shop a lot Of soles to be TEN.
pnred. Some were too wet to no worked and
como were too dry. On being questioned
concerning his reasons for putting out both
kinds. Smith said that the fog was the most
arid enough to dry the wet soes, and just
damp enough to moisten the dry soles, and
the man who didn't know enough to take ad.
vantage of q fog like that must be a 'darned
poor dolt of a shoemaker"
Mr.. Hewitt's tariff is like Smiths fog. It
must be high enough to shut off foreign COM
petition and just low enough to squelch home
competition, and the statesman who cannot
see the advantages of that kind Of a tariff
must be "darned" poor kind Of o statesman.
Mr.. Hewitt of course, is not the dolt he
pretends to be. He knows that business
which yields profit to Cameron, of Pennsyl-
vania, will attract the attention of Hewitt,
of New York. and that both may make moro
goods than can be sold; and he also knows
that if you put the tariff low enough to
brighten Cameron from manufacturing it will
be low enough to frighten Hewitt from man
ufacturing. The object of making his state
ment therefore is apparent. The firm Of
Cooper & Hewitt, of Trenton, n. j. gave no
tice to their iron operatives some weeks ago
that their wages would be reduced on Jan. /,
1884. Why? The answer was because the firm is
losing money and unable to sell its goods. Why
is the firm losing money!. Because it has
made too many goods. Why has it made too
many goods2 Because the tariff has deluded
Cooper & Hewlttinto the business too largely
| BY charging the depression Of business upon
the tariff Mr.. Hewitt proposes to make the
worlSiugmen believe that the reduction OF
wages is due to the republican tariff for
making Cooper & Hewitt believe there was q
profit in manufacturing iron when there was
not and on that cunning misrepresentation
secure their votes for the democratic ticket
He vastly undertakes the intelligence o.
American workingmen, who can see that il
the manufacturers had not seen their way Il
making some money they would never have
built any ton works, and if mono had beer
b. for the last twenty years the
Id have had no work and nj

MR.. HENRY VILLARp's expected resigna-

cifc railroad was formally prssspted to the
board of directors Yesterday. When he gave
up control of his other companieS some weeks
ago 1t was currently reported and believed that
he had so managed their affairs that he was
able retire with a very large fdrtune while
his associates were left to shonlder large
losses. Later developments, however, indi-
cate that Mr.. Willard Loyalty stood by the
fortunes of the great properties under his
control, and went down in their wreck. The
result is that opinion has changed very much
in his favor aud much sympathy is expressed
for him in financial circles. I
