Graystone aud It's Masters Guests.

From the Nepo York World.
Mr.. Tiden's acqua ntance with Miss Stauf-
fer, to whom he left 800. 900, began about five
years ago on an ocean steamer, when he was
returning from summer iannt on the CONT
nent. and she was homeward bound from the
usual finishing tour which all young ladies
make PRIOR to their debut in society. An in
vtation TO Graystone was the result of this
acquaintance, which now ripened into warm
friendship. On each subsequent visit TO New
York, Miss Stauffer, with her mother or her
sister, Mrs. Preston, visited for a few weeks
at GrayStone. On these pleasant occurrences
Mrs. Pelton. Mr.. Tildens sister, a warm per
sonal friend of Miss StaUiIer, acted as hostess.
Mr.. T lden was great admlrer of ladies'. He
had courtly manner and a quaint, gallant
way OF expressing himself toward the fair
sex. In the numerous letters of Mr.. TIlden
to Miss Stauifer during these pat five years
there are many stately compliments and no
etc sentiments such as characterized the cor
respondencc OF the last century. In one OF
these, after the departure Of Miss Stauffer for
the south. he graphically describes the wintry
storm beating upon the massive walls of Gray
stone, The snow whirllng in gusts against the
window pane, the desolation OF the house
since Miss Celeste's departure, and sadly
adds: "You have left the world to darkne, IS
and to me" In 1885. the year Of the great
exposition in New Orleaps, Miss Stauffer was
chosen Queen Of the Carnival. There has
never been so grand pageant in the history
OF carnival displays in the Crescent City.
Mr.. TIden took great pride in the event, and
rs a souvenir OF the occasion sent Miss Stautler
a massivc silver bangle studded with twelve
large diamonds. The beautiful present she
wore rs part OF her royal jewels.
This Is Miss Celestes horse," said John
Lynch. the stableman at Graystone, as he laid
his hand caressingly on the shining chestnut
back OF beauty; "she can ride well, clear o

nor loved TO zee her ride" Pointing to the

Mr.. Cleveland Endorsed.

If there is dissatisfaction with Presi-
dent Cleveland it does not manifest itself
in the Democratic State and Congress
sional conventions which are being held
in different parts OF the country. The
conventions that have been held in the
South have been outspoked in his praise,
but not more so than those held at the
North.
The Ohio Democratic Convention on
Wednesday said: 1--WE cordially indOrse
the administration of President Cleve-
land, as we believe the people Of all par
ties are convinced that his official con-
duct has been marked by great courage
and honesty" The Pennsylvania Demo
cratic Convention on the some day adopt
ed the following: I'VE indorse the Demo-
cratic reform administration Of President
Cleveland. 1t has given confidence to the
business Industries OF the country, purged
the departments of corruption, checked
extravaganza, discouraged class legisla-
ton and monOpolies, elevated the civil
service from the partisan debasements to
which it had been reduced by the previ-
Gus administrations, and has made the
people OF the United States feel assured
confidence in the perpetuity and security
OF the constitution"
There could hardly be stronger indOrse-
ments than the above. They ought to be,
and no doubt are, sufficient to satisfy the
President. They will help tn make him
enjoy his vacation in the Adirondacks,
and they will show the few dissatisfied
politicians who seize upon every oppor-
tunity TO crticise the administration that
they do not voice the sentiments OF the peo-
pie.
Those who thought that the vetoes OF
fraudulent pension bills would make the
President unpopular with the soldier ele-
ment are now willing to admit that they
were mistaken. 1t is clear to the whole
country that ne is not opposed to just PEN
sion bills, because he signed very many
of that kind. He had the courage to vet o
fraudulent bills, and the people praise
him for his courage and honesty. No
body can predict with any degree of GER
tainty what the sentiment of the great
Democratic party with respect to Mr..
Cleveland will be in 1898, but it is safe 10
say that II Presidential candidates were
to be nominated this year, Mr.. Cleveland
would be the nominee of his party.
A few days ago the New York World
said that if this were the year tor choosing
Presidential delegates, Mr.. Cleveland
would get the Endorsement OF the New
York convention having the selection of
the delegates, but that Gov. Hill would
get the delegates. Judging from the ex-
pressions of approval that Mr.. Cleveland
is receiving on every hand, he would not
only be Endorsed by New York, but would
get New York's delegation.

MISS Rose Elizabeth Cleveland. who
has set out TO make Literary Life the lead
ing 15-c. magazine in the country, has
two hobbies. One is the Indians and the
other is the Mormons. She wants the gov.
eminent to sit down on the Mormons
hard, but she wants it to let up on the In
dians. The lustful Mormon Elder has
her contempt, while the savage Indian
buck has her admiration. She regards
the Elder as bad man who knows that
he is bad, but the buck. she thinks, doesn't
know how to do much better than he does.
and could be trained into right good
citizen if treated with proper considera-
ton and kindness. Miss Cleveland is
clearly a reformer. She will have to be
careful il she doesn't want to reform all
the popularity out of the magazine she
edits.
