WAsHINeToN, March 2O.-Will President
Cleveland marry2 This is a question being
quietly discussed in society circles here just
now, recent reports reaching here from
Buffalo, his former home and the home OF

laps this much-talked-of event may be an

be little odd to have q wedding at the

other "bride of the White House" that ever
has been. The only President that has ever
committed matrimony while holding that
Office was, as is pretty well known, President
Tyler, who married in New York, but brought
his bride direct to the White House. She
was the "Bride Of the White House" Her
portrait showing her as bride hangs in the
green parlor of the White House. and is
pointed cut to visitors by the attendants at
the mansion when they show visitors
through the parlors. But what is of more
interest than the picture is Mrs. Tyler her
self, for she is not only still In the flesh. but
has spent good deal of her time in Wash
ington since the beginning OF the Demo
cratic reign. She is a thorough Democratic
and Southern woman in feelings aud princi-
pies, though q native OF New York. Sae has
