.clEyELAsD,s LOVE STORY.


Bury.Lo, July is.-Governor Cleveland
has had many love affairs, but not so nneh
as bachelor Of his weight politically ana
socially, would expect TO have. HIS love
affairs have all been Of the piatonic KIND.
and i, is said by his friends that he has been
incapable of falling deeply enough in love
to propose to any girl since he became
lawyer in 1859. When be was jast able to
SUPPORT himself he became ensmOred OF
pretty and beautiful young woman who was
reIa,i, c of the late Judge Verplanck. The lady
was not disposed 10 look favorably on his
suit and this made him love her the more
suit. and this made him love her the more
She was quite Airt and delighted to tan
tslize him BY permitting other young men
to escort her home from the old Eagle street
theatre, which was then the only place OF
amusement Of any account in the city. The
girl was comparatively wealthy and iooSen
down on Grover. who was poor lawyer.
After awhile she got to thinking fondly OF
him, and it Is said that they were engaged
TO be married when she was taken Ill with
fever and died.
Cleveland did not recover from the shock
for several months. and though ne has a
bachelor liking for pretty ladies h,S friends
say that he viii never marry. One lady
became so infatuated with that she proposed
to him. He rejected her advances, and Is
said that she became crazy and is now con
fined in an aSy lum.
Governor Cleveland has always been OF
retiring disposition and most of his time
has been spent in his law library or in the
company Of bachelor friends.
His most frequent places of resort were
the CITY Club and the heightened Buffalo
| Club on Delaware avenue. There ne was
accustomed wears ago to spend most OF his
evenings playing cards and telling or list,
euing to stories told by a corterie composed
| of the lnte Hon. Harmon 5. Cutting, the
late John Allen, Vice President OF the Cen
trial 4 Hudson Railroad, and other amman,
ricd gentlemen
A friend OF the Governor told your cor
respondent today a-romantic story Of how a
lady living near PoUghkeepsir engaged in
correspondence with the Governor since he
was elected Mayor and that tender feel
ing had sprung up between them. They
have met but four times, once when Cleve
/ land was sheriff, few years later at Sara
toga. after Cleveland was elected Mayor and
once since he has been Governor. Thu
fried said that it vas quite likely that the
lady would ne married by Cleveland il
elected President, and that she would grace
the White House parlors at his reception
The LADY, is described rs being a charming
brunette, about thirtv-fve wears old witt
pleasing manners and considerable prop
erty. luqriry among other friends verified
! the story, bit no one would tell the lady:
name or just where she lived except thai
it was IN small town near PouShkeepsie

The people pay the wages of the public

and honest work which the money thus paid
should command. 1t is the duty of those
intrusted with the management Of their af-

subordinates in government employment
should depend upon their ascertained fitness

be neither expected nor allowed to do ques

improved; public employment will be open
