New York, July 29.-When Grover
Cleveland got up and looked into the lux
urious silver framed triplicate mirror in
his dressing room, at Mr.. Whitney's house
with more than usual intentness, he ques-
toned himself. First he looked at
the left side of his face and then
at the right for a very serious
question was to be decided-the question
as to which side it would be advisable to
have photographed for campaign pur-
poses. 1t was hard to decide. The profile
showing the left side had been used ex-
clusively in the campaign portraits of four
years ago, and the more he thought it over
the more convinced he became that it
might be advisable to make change.
Which side would be most likely to catch
the farmer voter Which side would be
best calculated to win the liquor interest
Which had the best tariff reform look about
it What pose would appeal to the great
est number of his constituents and create
the broadest impression Haunted on count
less banners throughout the landP
1t was a poser. Mr.. Cleveland thought
be had better not solve it otfhand, so he
didn't and when he got down stairs and
Mr.. Whitney wondered why the prophet
within his gates was so late. Mr.. Cleve-
lands face wore troubled expression very
bad for successful cabinet photographers.
The ex-secretary of the navy, said good
morning, and looked the inquiry that he
did not know how to put into words.
NIlO think 2ll agFQd the FrOphaf
"that this gray gable sunburn on my
cOuntenance would prevent or in any way
ieopardize the successful taking Of my
photograph" ?"
Mr.. Whitney said that he didn't think
II would. He thought a good sunburn, if
the photographer could manage to show ii,
might be very successful in some OF the
rural districts.
"Good," replied the prophet. 81 will
have my photograph taken today"
Word was sent to Adlai 1t created
stir and hustle in the apartments Of the
minor prophet. General Stevenson attired
himself in the latest Bloomington, ILL.,,
fashion, and betook himself to the Whitney
house with expectant and efferYescent
alacrity. Being photographed was more of
a novelty for him, as he had not been
candidate as many times as his chief.
OFF FOR THE STUDIO.
At 10:30 o'clock the Prophet gave a part
ing twiddle to his craVat and, accompanied
by his secretary, r. l.. O'Brien and Adlai,
left Mr.. Whitney's and entered brough.
am. Then an untoward event occurred
A gray bearded and lean phrenologist,
who had been lurking on the sidewalk for
hours wanting to get his hands on Mr..
CleVeland's bumps, approached and asked
permission to make a chronological chart
Of the head of the democratic party. Mr.
Cleveland frowned slightly, and said thai
IA didn't INF "A r1ls ala.Ifss taN
persisted, and rolled up his sleeves as if to
begin the examination. Mr.. Cleveland
frOwn ed still more severely, and said, "NO,
told you no." and at that the phrenol-
ogist skunk away.
The trio were then driven to Rockwood's
gallerp, at 1440 Broadway. There Mr.
Cleveland mentioned the subject of photo
graphs and got off that OLD chestnut about
rather having tooth pulled, aJ which
Adlai laughed.
At IL O'Clock Mr. Cleveland got into the
red velvet chair, while Adlai stopped out
side. Mr.. lockwood has a lot Of little tin
alligators, a rabbit that Jumps out of q
boot and sticks out its tongue, and a
monkey that climbs up a stick. These he
uses to make people look pleasant, but he
kept all these out of sight while Mr.. Cleve-
land was with him. He had a better
scheme. He chose the right side of Mr..
Cleveland's face foI the profles, because,
as be said afterward, it was the stronger.
Then he adjusted the graphing iron on
Mr.. CleYeland's head. Then he took his
position by the camera. Now for his
scheme.
Just at the critical moment he looked in
tently at the prophet
"Mr. Cleveland" +" said he, "what do you
think of the sort Of crow Mr., Dana, of the
Sun, is eating ?"
The prophets face was wreathed in
smiles and the deed was done again and
again before the smiles we're all gone. Fif-
teen exposures were made in all.
On going out to Adlai Mr.. Cleveland sur
Yeyed the latter from head to foot in a crit
ical manner that made Mr.. Stevenson pull
at his cuffs nerVouslY. The prophet evil
IDENTIFY saw something wrong.
Stevenson" he said, "are you particu-
larly anxious that that bone collar button
should appear in your photograph ?"
1t was too true. Adlai's necktie was at
ebb tide and the fatal collar button was
visible.
Mr.. Cleveland was once sheriff Of Erie
county. He knew just what TO do under
the circumstances, and ne adjusted Adlai's
necktie with deftness and dispatch.
Then Adlai went in. Mr.. lockwood
made him smile, too. When ten successful
exposures were made he told the pho
| tographer that his name was pronounced
/ "Ad-lay," and not "Ad-lay eye" as has
been erroneously stated.
Then the candidates were driven away
| for luncheon, and, having acquired the pho
| tographic habit, they thought they might
as well make a day Of it, and so they went
to Sarony's in the afternoon and had an
other inning.
