WASHINGTON, D. c.,
June 4th, 1886.
The President and his bride are
at Deer Park. 1t is evidently his
intention to make his honeymoon
as much his own private business
as was his engagement and mar
riage. While thousands of eager
citizens waited about the front en-
trance of the Executive Mansion,
gamins climbed trees and lamp
posts and dignifled citizens and
their wives struggled for standing
room and craned their necks in the
innocent hope Of seeing the Presi-
dent and his wife, and while syn
dictate of newspaper reporters hir-
ed number of carriages in order
that they might follow the Presi-
dent to the last,-the latter enter
ing a carriage from the rear of the
mansion, was driven to special
train and was Off-Over the hills
and away, before the reporters
were aware that he had left the
White House. President Cleve.
land shows natural taste in Sc.
lecting Deer Park for the enjoy.
ment of his honeymoon. At the
altitude of three thousand feet
above the level of the sea, and with
a beautiful bride with French
clothes, he is perhaps as near beav
en- as he will ever get. He reached
this sublime height in the private
car of President Garrett of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, ano
he is quartered at the Deer ParI
residence of the railroad King. L
may seem inviduous to criticize {
newly married man, but we canno
forget that this is reform admin
istration, and that President Cleve
land paid his own fare in coming t.
Washington, and the Democratic
press and stump have never ceaset
to below this and similar facts a!
proofs of their millennium of re
form.
The cottage occupied by the Pres

frame structure, containing ter
rooms, all handsomely furnished
A force Of one hundred detectives

their return a reception will be Civ

The absence of Attorney Gener
al Garland from the wedding oc
casioned much comment. 1t nigh
have been attributed to his dis
taste for social occasions and hi
detestation of dress suit. A fey
days before the marriage a frien'

occasion. He replied, You don

The arrival of the bride and he
mother Wednesday morning al
tracted but little attention. The
were met at the depot by Mis-
Cleveland, and in accordance wit
the secrecy and mysteriousnes
which have characterized every
thing connected with the weddin,
were driven in a roundabout rout
to the White House. This Wa
hardly necessary, how ever, as Mis-
Cleveland does not seem to be al
noyed by the public attentio
which the President tries SO ing'
niously to avoid. During the hast
drive to the White House sl
caught sight of a cab in which som
New York reporters were followin
her carriage. She laughed heart

appreciate the situation.
All sorts of tricks and device
were resorted to on the weddin
