can, (Rep)
The Governor is a hard worker.
don't pretend TO Know whether he makes
hard work Of what he has to do, or
whether it is really difficult task for
him to discharge the duties devolving
upon him. am inclined to believe the
latter. He comes out from his inner
office several times during the day, shakes
hands, passes commonplace remarks,
writes autographs and talks with every
body who happens to come in, but he
evidently does not enjoy it. With old
women and children heis short and crisp,
with young women he is inclined to be
familiar, and with solid old men he is
almost dignified. But it is with Dan
Manning and his Buffalo cronies that he
is most at ease. His manner with them,
and with those introduced by them, is
decidedly free and easy. One of his
closest friends, with whom passed last
evening, told me that the high-tOned
Democrats are likely to be shocked by
their Presidents manner at times; but
that they will find him honest as the day
is long, and happiest when In very
small company. From this same friend
/ learned that all these stories about
Cleveland's prospective marriage are
without foundation. "Cleteland, . said
he, sis not a marrying man"
There are some old maids and design
ing mothers who are probably anxious
for an alliance with president; but Mr..
Cleveland has no inclination for mar
riage. He is a worker and he has no
time for anything else. He is not much
on dress parade, but great on common
sense"
Except IN cases like the letter to rs.
Beecher, suggested l.
That was a mistake" said he. ut
was all right to write it, but he never
should have allowed it to be published.
He got about one hundred kilograms
about it before he did consent, and then
only at the last moment did he
say he did not care what was done
with it. :"
Governor Cleveland's Independence of
Control.
A prominent Democrat, intimately &C
uuainted with the successful candidate for
the Presidency, and who is spoken Of for
the Attorney GeneTalshlp, thus describes
Cleveland. At his own request his name
is withheld: 81 was in Albany six weeks
ago and was closeted with Mr.. Cleveland
for number of hours At that interview
l had an opportunity of judging the man.
He is not a scholar, but he is blessed with
a great quantity of good common sense.
There is no show about him. He has ex-
hibited no apparent concern in the cleo
ton, and when talking of the canvass
spoke of himself in the third person.
He is a wonderful worker. He may
be engaged at his duties some nights until
or 9 O'Clock; the next morning you will
find him at his desk at the regular hour,
as if he had left it the night before at 6.
On the 1st of May he will be the most un-
popular President with politicians that has
ever occupied the executive chair. He
will not allow them to run him. His
neck is four inches wide behind, which is
pretty sure indication that he will have
his own way. He is a man that doesn' t
care a continental for an opinion of a
politician if he thinks his own intentions
are right While he is going to be un-
popular with politicians, | think he will
be one of the most popular Presidents
with the people.
