WASHINGTON, April 2j.-There is still
growing opinion that the President is surely
to be married, and it has been suggested, in
this connection, by distinguished New
England politician, that as upon the day of
royalty's marrying in the olden times, itw
the custom to free certain number of Pris-
oners, Mr. Cleveland could cause great ma
tional rejoicing on his wedding day by ap-
pointing a regiment OF Democrats to otiicein
celebrating the event. 1t is believed also
that if the President should marry he would
not give so much time to the smaller details
of the routine work with which he has bur
dened himself during the year, and that
once free from this routine he would be able
to give broader attention to national affairs
If poll of the town was to be taken 1t is
doubtful whether vote would be found
against the Presidents marriage. From the
running talk and comment of the interviews
between a reporter OF the Sentinel and some
of the public men of Washington the fol-
lowing may be of interest to those who love
lover and who are fond of specializing on
the subject of the White House wedding.
Mr.. Wilkins think he should get mar
ried and hope he will marry good Demo
cratic girl, but hear the bride-elect had
father who was a Republican. If this is
true, am afraid there will he too much
Mugwump influence about the White
House. / believe ii is true, for the papers
say so.
Mr.. Springer. of Illinois-It makes men
better to get married, but the President is
good now and but little improvement can
| be'made there. 1t is a mans duty to marry,
and believe Mr.. Cleveland means to do his
| duty.
Mr. Kleiner, of Indana-If taking to the
White House wife will make the President
better democrat, l wish he would hurry
up the wedding.
Tim Campbell think he is too busy to
bother about getting married. He will be
doing great deal for New York to take a
| wife from that State, but he ought to do
something for the boys first.
What do you think of the Presidents
marriage was asked of General Weaver, of
Iowa.
81 don't think of it," was the reply. at
has no more importance than pleasant So
| clal event.
''You don't think much of the President
in Iowa?"
ooh, yes, we do. We think he is good
enough man to have very good wife; but,
of couse, the President is not well enough
known personally among our people to have
his marriage attract much attention"
''The Presidents marriage is something
that concerns only the contracting parties, .
said Congressman Cannon. OF Illinois.
They make the bed, and they have got to
lie on it,
my impression is that if the President
gets married it woulc mean great deal less
attention TO duty an great deal more So
ciety," said another Congressman.
Grain, of Texas, when asked what he
thought of the Presidents marriage said he
did not care to express an opinion. THAT
is the Presidents private business, and
do not know that have any right to dis
cuss it,"
