Governor Cleveiand,s Intended.

New York Special TO Boston TranscrlptIs
An interesting report comes to me on good
authority from Buffalo to the effect that So
ciety there has settled down to the belief
that Governor Cleveland and Miss Marie
Love, weilknown society woman of that
city, are engaged and are soon to be married.
Miss Love Is described as dashing woman
forty years OF ege or more, who for many
years has been figure in Buffalo society.
Years ago she was at the head of small pri-
yate school in that city. She is q sister OF
Mrs. Thomas Carey, with whose family,
her parents being dead, she lives
When Governor Cleveland visited Buffalo
few weeks ago the private dinner which was
given him was at the Carey mansion.
The young people OF the Carey and Rum
sey families have intermsrried, aud are
all addicted TO the fashionable outdoor
sport OF driving stylish turnOuts, polo, ten.
mis- and the like. The Carey boys ara among
the Independents who worked Zealously for
Oleveland's success. Miss Love is well known
iii Newport and New York society, and has
been abroad several times. The family is
said to have q weakness for somewhat start
ling social surprises, that astonish more staid
people, aud Miss Love inherits this tendency.
She is SAID to have money and bestoRs her
attention upon polo matches and similar
social amusements. Those who know her
say that il she becomes mistress of the
White House, as is generally predicted 10
Buffalo social circles. she will have bril-
liant 'gn. Thus far the supposed engage
ment has only been talked over ia private
and / make the rumor public for what it is
worth.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2i.-Mr Blaine will
not be alone in his literary lsbors In Wash

on his book. Washington has some very
noted writers OF books. Aud il is singular
coiDcident, If nothing more, that two OF the
best known OF these are winding up their
literary lsbors by cutting down nearly one
half the work of their earlier years. Mr..
Bancroft the eminent historian, whose his.
tory of the United States, in ten volumes,
has go long been considered standard, is
closing ~ hi. long life OF labor By cutting
down his ten volumes to six. His last revi-

"HoW long has she been writing2"
about forty years. She married in 1911
unbappily, and only two years thereafter
a separation took place, since which time
she has supported herself by her pen. She
has always counted this her home, though
she has spent considerable portion OF her

OF course, anxious to have her stay as much
as she Will. Then, too, it is quite as cou-

she works exclusively, and gets her proofs

ally writes until about Thnrsdav night

and Saturday in miscellaneous work aud

sets in for another week of hard work. She
reads the newspapers carefully, getting
many Limits for her stories from the incl

More Bosh.


It is Known that several thousand Butler ballots
were counted for Grover Cleveland, but as those
ballots have been burned and eau not be re-
counted. there is now no remedy for that mon
strOus fraud. lt is also known that large num-
Der Of Blaine ballots were thrown out on account
of some defect in the printing or paper, but as
they have been destroyed that wrong IL also with
out remedy. As Secretary Fessenden, OF the
National Republican COMMITTEES, stated 70 4
l. ader reporter Friday. Mr. Blaine has been
cheated out OF several thousand votes, and the
State OF New York Is secured for Mr.. Cleveland by
the basest OF Frauds.-CleyelanG Leader.
If Mr., Fessenden has made such a state
. ment ne is deliberate liar. No frauds
could have been committed without the co.
operation Of Republican election officers.
There was not poll in the whole State at
which The Republican party was not repre-
seDted BY such oilicerS chosen under State
laws. In addition ID these tne Federal
election machinery was in full operation,
IS Congressman are elected in this State
simultaneously with Preside initial electors.
Moreover, any wrong committed could have
been righted by an appeal TO the courts.
Every body who knows anything about the
election methods prevailing in this State is
aware that the electoral ticket was the last
one with regerd TO which frauds we're likely
to be committed. As regards other States
the Leader evidently does not know more
about them than about New York.

WHO WILL SUCCEED PRRsIDEST-XLECT CLEVE.
LAND AS GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK.
The election of Governor Cleveland, OF
New York, to the Presidency will make
Lieutenant Governor David B. Hill Govern
or OF the State, in the ordinary course of af.
fairs: Governor Cleveland will resign in De.
cember, 1884, and Lieutenant Governor Hill
will assume his Office In January, 1885. The
term to be completed by him will expire
January, 1856.
David b. Hill was born at hamlet in
Chemung County, New York, eighteen or
twenty miles north of Elmira. He went to
Elmira about twenty-one years ago. as a
young lawyer, and was welcomed by some of
the leading men of that city. His fame as a
politician had preceded him. In his native
place be had worked at the polls as lad long
before he had the right to vote. Mr.. Hill
had been in Elmira only one day when the
County Judge offered him an equal partn err
ship with him. The offer was eccep pied, and
the connection thus formed lasted ten
years.
Lieutenant Governor Hill is a bachelor,
and has taken his meals continuously at the
same place during the twenty one years he
has lived in Elmira. He has elegant quart
ers elsewhere in the city, where ne gener-
Ously eDtertains bis friends. His fayOrite
smusements are the theater and concert
room, and his serious pursuits law and poll
tics, in both OF which he has attained more
than merely local eminence With the ex
ceptiOn OF the good woman who prepares his
meals. MIR. Hill is said to maintain no ao-
quaintance with females. No rumor of ap-
preaching marriage gives interest to his early
removal to the Executive Mansion at Al
bany, and this regular old bachelor is said
to be so set in his habits that the change in
his manner OF life necessitatsd by the cleo
ton OF Mr.. Cleveland to the Presidency,
rather worries than gives him pleasure.

One agreeable feature of the new admin
istration of which little has been said will
be likely to De the absence of any "Repub-
lican court" rubbish. The President elect
is empbatically a man with mo nonsense
about him" and will certainly have little
sympathy with the attempts of silly people
who have been to Europe or have read
about European courts to institute q more
or less elaborate ceremonial at Washing
ton. The precedence of one officials wife
over another will not be a matter OF
much interest or regard about the EKecu-
tive mansion. Under President Cleve-
lands regime the theories upon which our
Government rests are likely to have
a more practical application than hiss been
enjoyed since Jackson, or at least since Liu-
coin hung up his hat behind the White
House door. The head OF the Government
will regard himself a citizen employed by
bis fellow-ciEzens to attend to certain affairs
OF theirs for them, with no other dignity 10
support than that which belongs to their
representative. 1t may be said. that already
sufficient simplicity marks the management
of affairs about the Executive mansion.
Still it is well TO sometimes return to first
principles and to make it plain that thoss
