The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Herald says the reason Mrs Cleveland did not
| g to Richmond was because, besides the general
public reception at the fair grounds, Governor Lee
had also arranged for q public reception at the
gubernatoria mansion. from $40 TIL O'Clock. The
idea of subjecting the ladies who were to compose
the party to such an ordeal as double reception
would involve seemed 30 inconsderate on the part
| Of the managers that the President at once tele-
graphed Governor Lee that Mrs. Cleveland and the
ladies would not accompany him to Richmond, and
that the reason might be clear he added: "My ar
| rangements are made to return to Washington at
an early hour. 1regret, therefore, that obliged
to forego attending reception at your house on
this occasion" To carry out this plan the President
sent word to the superintendent OF the road
having the arrangements In charge that he
must leave Richmond by O'Clock Thurs.
day evening. That Is oil there is tc
the change in the programme. The presence o.
Miss Winnie Davis or any other person ut the pro
posed reception never entered into the reason fo
Mrs. Cleveland and the Cabinet ladies' not going tt
Richmond The President thought, after proposing
general reception at the fair grounds, where tht
mass Of the people of Richmond would undoubtedly
be, that to provide for second formal reception
when the masses would not be expected at all, wa
contrary to his own wishes distinctly set fortl
in the letter to the Governor that he felt indiguan
and changed the plan himself.
