pondent OF the american had an interview
with presidcnt.clcet Cleveland, at Albany.
Ia telcgraphing the result OF his talk he
says:
II was presented as tho Washington
correspondent OF the Baltimore .am,eyicaa.
and, moreover, as my friend said, "an
ardent Blaine man, who has come to see
wheter Blaine was defeated because he
was the lesser man" .ai
"liow are your said the Governor, MS
he took my hand, His greeting was as
hearty MS II he Ind been really glad to see
ne, and he smiled n rather self.satislled
smile US he said, II guess Blaine was
beatenhecause didn't get yotcsenough.n
Iadmitted that that seemed 10 be about
the size of it, but remarked tin. he did
not luck very many. s.
"rhat's so," said the Governor. "l,ut

there are some advantages in small ma
iorities. AS It Is, no one man or no partic.

Just ut this moment some one whisper

rES PICTURE OF CLEVELAND.
Ills campaign Autographs tatter him MS
much rs Bla;ne's do him injustice. His
face is what 4 barber would call hard
lace to shave, and its general appearance
indicates 4 man WHO either eats too much,
or does not sleep enough. The front OF
his Prince Albert coat protrudes consider
ably beyond the building line, and his
trousers are inclined to feel themselves
above his shoes. His voice is neither
harsh nor musical, and his manner is de-
cidedly ordinary. He moves about among
those in tho room with the air OF man
who was in his own house, and knew per-
fecily well that tho people had simply
called to look him over, and that he must
appear to enjoy it. When one set Of men
had finished their congratulations. L..
stood still until others came up. Pres
emily little child walked up.
Z "All,h said he, "the little girls too" n
"Ies,n said the proud mother; "she's
had her flag up all summer"
"llow arc you, sissy?" then said the
Governor. - .Sa
"I'rc,ty welI,"said the little one; "but
women can't vote. " = =rrS-&ss35. r f. Il <.
"Oh," said the president-elect, careless.
lr but pleasantly "the ladies' are ycryuse,
ful in their way" y 5.,
At that moment an old lady brought a
very bashiu! daughter forward; and had
toalmost place her hand in the Governors,
a performance that was enjoyed by ncitk..
er. Next came a delegation OF business
men from an interior town to ask him II
he would not let them give him special
reception. 90,
II don't know what to think about
that" said he. II had thought would
get rid OF all that sort Of thing in { lump;
but LII see You later about it.'
OVER THE FENCE.
Then there came forward little lame
veteran OF the Mexican war, whose iace is
very familiar in Washington. He has
been Republican for years and years;
but heard him tell the Governor that he
was ''Glad we had won at last. We tried it
six times before We could do it, though"
The Governor soon got rid OF the rest oi
the crowd and came back to his desk.
"New," said he, calling me by name, as il
he had known me all his life,, 81 want to
have n talk with you. So you're from
Washington, are you ?" IS 81 E IS

"iou know Mr.. Blaine pretty well, do
you?'s ..S ,g1
"Yes." s ..55 /,
Swell, find good many newspaper
men who know Blaine personally. Does
every public man have to know all the

most Of them manage to do So" ts..t 4
"Well, how do you fellows treat a man
down there?" lie asked.
"We tell the truth, Governor" said !.
"Then man must be on his good be-
l,avior,". said he, laughing. y q
"rlmt's just it." n (. Il,
Wien l asked him il he ha,l ever been
to Washington, he replied:
"Ah-yes; once or twice."

"Oh," said hc 81 don't just remember.

Washington is improving every year

F.v'Ycs,r said l; that's what the people
rof Washington are afraid OF. ~ i;,ff.s:
"Afraid OF what?f he asked. ~ NJ
"That you'll be very busy, and that
they will suffer by it." t54.
"By the loss Of their heads, eh?"
a"Just so."' .=;i. .is,.z,
t"Well, l am not much OF chopper. I

Jus.thenDaniel Manning entered, and
he was introduced to me as a man who
was to be open to consratuation himself
on Wednesday, as hewas going to be mar
ricI. Mr. Manning motioned TO the Gov
ernor, and the Governor, telling methat
he supposed Manning wanted to consult
him about the wedding, asked ME to drop
in tomorrow again, as he wanted to learn
more about Washington. lIe and Man
