Bolters-The Return of the Clevelands
From Gray Gables.
Washington, oct. 9.-Senator Faux
ner has returned from New York and has
once more taken up his routine work at
headquarters.
There are no differences in the party
in New York" he said, which cannot he
easily adjusted. There is little doubt that
Mr.. Hill will carry the state for matters
are in a splendid shape there"
Senator Faulkner would say little re-
garding what steps had been taken to
bring the different elements together.
There is no longer any doubt as TO the
friendly attitude of President Cleveland
and while he may not be able to control
the entire anti-HnI sentiment through
out the state, yet his influence will be
stronly marked on the election returns.
Senator Faulkner says that Senator
Hill believes the state will go demo-
has consented to head the tick
ct is accepted as positive prof
that he has received assurances of support
from the factions which have hitherto
opposed him. Otherwise, it is argued he
would have had to decline the nomina-
ton. When he enters the fight he does
so with the intention of winning. and in
the present instance he may be relied
upon to have satisfied himself first of
the harmonious support of his party.
He has played an important part himself
in bringing the leaders of the different
factions to his support He has professed
his readiness at all times to step down
from the ticket. A story is told of a prom
inent editor in New York city who was
forced to suspend his opposition TO Sen
ator Hill by the latter's ready acquies-
ence in every proposition the former ad-
Vanced. The two We're brought together
and Senator Hill is quoted as saying:
Il agree with everything you have said
/ do not believe the nomination should
have been given me. Now suggest some
one who can carry the state and / will
aid you if l can in electing him."
The editor did not have a candidate, nor
did any of his friends, and they frankly
admitted it, pledging Hill their support.
Senator Blanchard has returned from
Europe and looks fifteen pounds heavier
than when he was struggling for protec-
ton on sugar in the Senate during the
last session. I called on him at the dem
ocratic headquarters to-day and asked
him what position he would take in re-
gard to the sugar planters and other
boilers from the party He said Il shall
pull my coat off and stump the state
for true democracy. I shall give no quar-
ter to populists, republicans or dem
ocrats who have bOlted their party. Gov
Stone, who comes from the very heart
of the sugar growing district,
has taken a very decided stand
against the boilers and so has Senator
Caffrey The strength of the boilers has
been greatly magnifed by the republicans,
and have no fear whatever that they will
carry any of the districts they are now
claiming. The democrats have nothing
to gain by comprising, and especially in
the First, Second and Third districts.
Senator Blanchard will leave tonight
for Shreveport, and from there will go to
New Orleans, to engage in the fight there.
Mrs. Blanchard and her daughter will not
return to this country until December.
The White House is being arranged for
the return of the President and his family
about the middle of the month, or perhaps
a little earlier, as the weather is becom-
ing disagreeable at Gray Gables. Mrs.
Cleveland, it is said, is not in a hurry to
get home, for her northern home has
grown very homelike during the past sum-
mer. Baby Ruth has become proficient
in German and is now able to recite eigh-
teen poetic selections and nursey rhymes
in that language. Baby Esther had a
birthday last month, and is taking her
first steps and exciting a great deal of
attention for the remarkable short jour
neys she is able to accomplish.
All me notables are returning to the
capitdi-by notables is meant the Chinese
japanese, the Brazilians, Spaniards, Ger
mans, Italians, etc. Society will open its
doors Immediately upon the return Of
Mrs. Cleveland. Some of the gossip which
is finding its way about Washington is
that Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris is to mar

In Gen. Kyd Douglas, adjutant general of
the Maryland militia. Mrs. Sartohis, since
her return from England last year. has
been one of the most conspicuous figures
in Washington circles. She is the most
fiashy dressed woman in the city, and her
style of dressing makes her a familiar fig
ure wherever she appears.
Mrs. George w. Childs widow of the
late editor of the Public Ledger, has come
TO Washington to live. She has erected
a new home on X street, in the fashion
able section of the city, and it is the
handsomest in the neighborhood. 1t ad-
Joins the old colonial mansion of Senator
and Mrs. Hale. This reminds one that
all architectural designs in Washington
run to what is generally conceived to be
the old southern homestead. The Lett
ers. the millionaire dry goods people from
Chicago, tried to out-bid other Washing
ton plutocrats in securing southern
home. To this end they erected a mag
nthcent residence on Dupont Circle, a
base imitation of a Virginia homestead
1t has its Corinthian columns, it's large
square hall, its forty or fifty rooms but
with all ii is traVesty. 1t is FIVE stories
high and has about twenty feet of ground
around it. But with this exception al
the handsome homes which have beer
built in the northwest section of the city
during the past five years are almost re-
productions of Virginia and Georgia
homesteads, and make that portion of the
city one of the quaintest and most beau
tiful in the country.
