PRES.-ELECT CLEVELAND.
How He Lives-The Future La
dy of the White House.

Carp" in his letter to the CleYe-
land Leader, say: The Hon.
George Jones, who is known as the
leader of the greenback element in
New Yosk State, has been spending
the past five weeks at Albany. He
tells me that Grover Cleveland is
living very quietly in a plain ten
room brick house, deVoting himself
to answering his mail and receiving
visitors. The office seekers have
been calling at Albany in crowds,
and the visitors from Washington
are numerous. Mr.. Jones spent an
evening with Cleveland last week.
He says Cleveland is very conserva-
tive in regard to the coming admin
istration. He has not chosen his
cabinet as yet, and his success will
largely depend upon his selection
The question" says Jones, ''is
whether there is any good in the
democratic party, and whether
Cleveland will have the good sense
to choose this good from the
great amount of bad. The republi
can party has outlived its useful
ness. Times are as bad as can be.
1t is a great question whether
Cleveland's acts will better them.
l don't think he intends to inaugu-
rate any radical policy, but expect
too see him governed by his cabi-
net"
What kind of a lad ,yis his sister,
who is to be the mistress of the
White House?" l asked.
81 have not met her." replied Mr..
Jones, "but Mr.. Cornell and his
wife, who are well posted as to So
ciety matters, and who are &C
q TAINTED with her, say that she
will be as much an honor to the
White House as any woman who
has ever presided there. She is
bright and witty, a good talker, and
| is posted as to the usages of good
society"
what kind of a fellow is La
mont, Cleveland's private secreta-
ry?" l asked.
He is a blonde young man of
about thirty five, with sandy hair
and red mustache. He dresses
neatly, has no bad habits and kne VS.
how to keep his mouth shut. He
came from republican district and
was about the only democrat in it
/ who attended the state conventions.
At them he became acquainted with
Tilden and the old man made him
his private secretary. He was also
private secretary under Gov. Robin
son and he has been connected with
the different newspapers in Albany
in journalistic capacity.
He was at one time legislative
reporter at Albany for the Argus.
He is very domestic in his tastes,
and has a pleasant wife and two
children. Mrs. Lamont will be
something OF a figure in Washing
ton society, though she will not
live at the white house. At the
opening of the administration La
mont will board at the Arlington.
but be will not stay there long, as
it will be too costly for his. salary,
which, you know, is only $500 a
year"
'By the way, Mr.. Jones, what do
YOU think of Ben Buffers future?"
"He has no future. He is the
greatest crank of American politics.
He has gotten himself into hole
and drawn the hole in after him."
