OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.
Calmly Attending to His Duties in the
Executive Chamber.

Calmly Attending to His Duties in the
Executive Chamber.
Gov. Cleveland was convinced of his
election after the receipt of the returns
early last week, says an Albany special
of Nov. IL to the New York World, and in
all the doubling, hustle and excitement
that has taken place at the capital since,
he has had no part. 1t has been entirely
out Of Difference to the views of other in
habitants of Albany, who still cling to
hope of Blaine's election, and with a view
to allaying al unnecessary political eX-
citement, that Mr.. Cleveland has refused
thus far TO cOuntenance with his presence
any demonstrations in honor Of the glO-
riOus Democratic victory of Tuesday last.
1t was a common occurrence to-day for
his visitors to say, as they shook his hand,
seYOu will be the next President of the
United States" | heard a dozen of them
make that trite observation. To most of
these wise remarks the Governor simply
returned a pleasant smile, but when one
enthusiastic old gentleman, after making
the above announcement, continued per-
sistently to press for response, the Gov
ernOr said with an inimitable drawl:
'Well, L guess that's So" Everybody
who sees and cOnYerses with Gov. CleNe
land is impressed with his resemblance,
in manner OF speech, in mOdesty
and in persistent good humor,
to Abraham Lincoln. ''Mark my
prediction said visitor as he retired
from the Executive Office. 'Gov. Cleve-
land will be the peoples President, and
Will be the most popular occupant of the
White House that that house has had
since the days of Abe Lincoln"
There is one thing that impresses me
strongly" said the Governor, IN converse
ton with your correspondent this after
noon, sand that is the number of old men
who have called to pay their respects
within the last few days. Bless my soul,
they are the most enthusiastic and de-
terInined old veterans / have ever seen.
There have been don't know how many
Datriarchal, gray-bearded old fellows who
have Iimped in here to tell me that they
would gladly fight rather than see any
more Republican frauds triumphant"
And the Governor laughed merrilY at the
recollection of his visitors.
0And what did you say to them, Cover
nOr?v l asked.
"Ob. 1 told them that guessed there'd
be no occasion for fighting, but the SIN
ceritv and earnestness of these old fathers
OF the Democracy, the Northern Democra-
CIV. impressed me more than L can tell.
Here are men who have been voting the
Democratic ticket from middle age until
their feet are on the brink Of the grave,
without a single victory, and they nave
never once, apparently, become despOnd-
eut, and are Just as enthusiastic to-day as
the Youngest voters. Pve been glad to
meet them. 1t has done me gOOd.'

The Rate War to Chicago.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE nominal
rate to Chicago to-day at the offices of the
Erie, West Shore and Lackawanna roads
has been $40 80, but tickets were sold at
$40. Brokers quote $40, but sell at SO 80.
The rates to st. Louis and Cleveland yes
terday were respectively $14 80 and So.
To-day they have been reduced half a
dollar. The Pennsylvania company holds
firm to its schedule figures of 500 for a
continuous journey by Philadelphia and
Harrisburg, $26 so for stOp-over tickets
by the same route and $24 for a ticket
which is good for stoppage at Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Washington.
There seems no good reason for the belief
that the Pennsylvania Company will en-
ter into the cutting. The competition
rate by the New York Central to Chicago
is S12 at the company's Office, and $11 at
the brokers. RAILROAD Commissioner
Pearson says that the fixing of passenger
rates is out of the hands of the pool COM

day that there was nothing left to hang a
shred of hope on Tor Blaine, and he
thought that it was time to acknowledge
it. In the lobby of the Hoffman House a
group of gentlemen, among whom were
Roscoe COnkling and George G. Gorham,
were talking as to the cause of Blaine's
defeat. Mr.. GOrham, turning to Mr..
COnkling, said: ''YOu withered him with
a hot blast of your silence" Mr..
COnkling said that as Blaine
had scuttled the Republican ship before
the meeting of the Chicago Convention, it
was eminently fit that he should be put in
command of it as it was going down.
Another one of the party remarked that
the action of the National Republican
Committee was like man hanging onto
a lottery ticket after the drawing"
