How He Hopes 20 Keep Republi.
cans I'm OnIce.

A Pittsburg dispstoh says: Dor
Cameron has plan In view whereby th,
majority OF the Federal Off GERS would bs
retained by the Republicans. The
Senate will be Republican and as there
are great many officers whose terms
expire during the next session Of Con.
gress they or their Successors will be
Immediately resppointed by President
Arthur and confirmed by the Senate, and
as their official terms will extend over
four years, these positions will remain
heritages. They cannot be removed from
office unless for cause, and conduct on
the part Of any one Of them unbeooming
his position would be the only act that
would remove him.
Mr.. Cleveland may find It very difficult
To get the Senate to confirm his appoint
ments Of Democrats. Such a refusal on
the part Of that body would have the
effect Of continuing in office all Republi-
can Federal officers whose terms might
expire during the next administration,
as the oaicsholder is allowed by law to
remain In his position until either reap.
pointed or succeeded, no matter II his
commission be expired and any refusal
on the part Of the Senate to confirm
Democratic SUCCESSORS would virtually
continue in office all Republicans. This
may look like steal, but Il is = possi-
bility ss q last resort.
Another thing may be rssorted to as an
alternative, or rather Gs q compromise.
There are . number Of southern states
pronouncedly Democratic, with little
chance OF ever becoming Republiosnized.
The Democratic senators from such states
may effect compromise with the Repub-
lioan senators to agree to appointments,
either Democratic or Republican, aooord-
ing to the territory In which the appoint
ment may be. Mr.. Cleveland could help
good feeling by appointing offioials in that
way; otherwise he will experience
trouble with the Republican Senate.
These facts have leaked out since NJ.

Gossip Says He ts 20 Marry MISS
Love, = Dashfng woman OF
Buffalo.
Philadslphis Press Special.
BosToH, Nov. 14-A New York corre-
spondent telegraphs as follows An in
teresting report comes to me, on good
authority, from Buffalo to the effect that
Governor Cleveland and Miss Maria Love,
q we'll known society woman Of that city,
are engaged And are soon to be
married. Miss Love Ia described
40 q dsshinG woman, DO years Of
aye or mere, who for many yeArA
has been o hsutr iu Buffalo society.
Years ago she :. as at the head Of q small
Jrivste school In that city. She is q
s,er Of Mrs. Thomas Carey, with whose
family, her parents being dead she lives.
When Governor Cleveland waited Buffalo
few weeks ago. the private dinner
which was given him was at the Carey
mansion.
The young people Of the Carey and
Rumsey fanilies have intsrmarried, and
are all addicted to the fashionable out
door sports, driving stylish turnouts,
polo, tennis and the like. The Carey
boys are among the Buffalo Independents
who worked zealously for Cleveland's
success. Miss Love Ia we'll known in
Newport and New York sooisty, and has
been abroad several times. The family
is said to have weakness for somewhat
startling social surprises that astopish
more staid people, and Miss Love inherits
this tendency. She is said to have money
and bestows her attention upon polo
matches and similar social amusements.
Those who know her say that, II she be.
comes mistress Of the White House, as II
is generally predicted In Buffalo social
orioles, she will have Q brilliant reign.
Thus far the supposed engagement has
only been talked over in private, and
make the rumor public for what It ia
worth.

ADEMOORAa's BEQUEsT.
For the Use of the Party when IL
Has "a President.

PITTsBURo, Nov IA "A very singular
bequest cAs unearthsd in this city to
day by Democrats who have long been
cognixant OF its existence, but who had
but little hopes thst the last will and
testament of an eccentric but patriotic
Democrat could ever be executed. In
October, 1878, Alexander MoGlll, we'll.
known oi,izsn, who had accumulated q
large fortune, bsosme fearful that he
might die and that his real and personal
effects by some legal crook might come
into the possession OF divorced wife.
That this might not result he made
his will, giving to his former wife
nominal sum, and bequeathing to
his sister all his effects during her life
time At her death the fortune will be
divided between three aunts, sisters Of
his father, who were supposed to live In
County Tyrone, Ireland. Should they
die in the mean time, their children,
should they have any were to inherit the
portions assigned to their mothers, and
should the children, II any, be dead, the
whole estate WAS bequeathed TO the
President Of the United States, providing
he bs . Democrat, In trust for AID to be
used In the interest Of and for the sue.
cess Of the Democratic party.
The will was proved bsfore County
Register Gray, October 10Th, 1878, and
the inventory OF Mrs. Steel, the exeoutrix
shows that the personal effects amounted
10 $2l, ,924, and it is said the realty
amounts 10 considerably more than tna'
sum. Two well-known Democrats ex
amined the records to day and forwarded
to President Cleveland the substantial
features OF the will. ...

CHESTER, Pa, Nov. 12.-AmonR the
numerous wARers on the election the
oldest one Of all has just come to pub.
lioity. Two residents Of Chester, one a
Democrat and the other a Republican,
bet on the judgeship elect OF, the stakes
being cigars. According to the compact
the party whose candidate for Judge
should be defeated should submit to q
search OF his person for dig ara every time
the other met him, the agreement to con-
tinue during the term OF the elected
candidate. TIE supporter Of Judge Clay
ton now has the privilege Of stopping
the other on the street whenever he sees
him, and unless . cigar ia forthcoming
can search his pockets to see II he has
any concealed about his person. II hs
meets the loser at house,a public place,
in fact wherever he encounters him he Is
invested forthwith with the power o.
search. There is nothing In the oom
pact to compel the Dickinson party tc
