He saw, the electricity come up lile big blue bubbles under the carriage. It was about two hours after he got home before Mr. Meline was stand: and he suffered grestiy during vas night, au ju ni his sensation being as if thousands of needles Were being stuck into his body., An attempt on the part of his wife to relieve him by bathing his ba in milk so intensified this sensation that she had to desist and refrain from allowing her hands to come in contact with his body. pect house, in the Adirondacks, N. ¥., August 26 says: Mr. Cleveland returned to the Prospect house yesterday afternoon from his camp at ‘Willis’ Pond.

Enjoying Himself in Primitive Fashion in the Wild Sarai Lake Region. ‘The New York World of to-day devotes over @ page to profusely illustrated report of @ cor- respondent who was sent to investigate the rumor that the President was ill tn his retreat in the Adirondacks. The correspondent found the President in good health, enjoying himself in the most democratic—not to say primitive— way. He has fished a little and has killed one deer, He is nicely sunburned and had four days’ growth of beard on the day the corres. pondent met him. ‘The correspondent met with many discouraging adventures, He was compelled to fight his way through the ine hospitable cordon with which the President has surrounded himself. He slept out-doors two nights, but with the assistance of a gulde he finally reached the presidential camp. This Is located twenty-five miles north of the rural tavern known as the Prospect house, on Upper Saranac lake, ina region spoken of by the guide book as “infested with deer, bears, wolves and catamounts.” The Prospect house fs the last house of any kind the correspondent stopped at._It isowned. by five gentlemen, of whom the President is said to be one. Every one in the region seemed to be in a conspiracy to conceal the whereabouts of the President's camp. At the Prospect house, where the mission of the correspondent was learned, or rather where it, became suspected, he could Set nothingdone for him. He was re- fused supplies for bis proposed tramp throu the woods; and would have been entirely help- less It he Nad not succeeded In securing @ guide, who undertook to bring him to the President's camp. During their first night out they were caught In a severe storm. The first day's tramping and rowing was comparatively easy; but during the second day the forest they tra- versed the correspondent represents as some- thing awful in its wildness and ruggedness. ‘The correspondent continue There isanend to everything. The Theoso- pists of India teach thelr devotees that there is anend even tohell. Ibelleve itnow. We had been in the wooas nearly four hours when through the trees was caught a glimpse of a sheet of water. It was Willis’ pond. Ina few moments we reached it. Atits shore the al- leged trail ends. We bathe our faces in the cool water and plunge once more into the forest following the ine of the lake's shore. Pretty soon we hear the sound of voices. A few rods further on and I see one of those log huts that in the Adirondacks we called “camps.” I pass a hound chained toa tree and the carcass of a deer suspended between twotrees, Coming out from behind the hut } am in the presence of the President and his camp companions, Dr, Ward and Mr. Bacon. They are seated near the fire on which is sizzling the broiler with the morn- ing meal, The Presiden* is sitting n a tree stump facing me, and is the first to observe my entrance. Ata little distance from him is Dr. Ward, gun in hand; at his side is Mr. Bacon. All three look at me und my guide with undis- guised astonishment, They seem doubtful for @ moment what manner of reception to accord. Withor waiting for their decision, how- ever, | approach the President, and. removing my hat, say; “The New York World presents ius most respectful compitments and Inquires ufter the President's health.” The President extended his hand, sald he wi glad to see the new-comer, and assured hit that his health was of the very best. He had never felt betier in his life. The correspondent was invited to join the party at breakfast. “The meal consisted of broiled venison, baked pota- toes, hot biscuits, and tea with condensed milk. It was served on a rough board supported on stakes, Lange logs were used as chairs, Every- thing was primitive in the extreme. There was not the slightest thought of form or formality. While sat at the table I had an excellent op- portunity to observe the President's ap- rance, He seemed even to have gained siderable flesh since he entered the moun- tains and his manner betokened some fatigue and lassitude, I was told by one of his guides that the arduous journey through the forest had exhansted hin so much that for two days after reaching the camp he had been unable to freely mall wonder, speaking from my cel ‘The life that he is leading in in_ the Winderneas is evidently too mueh even for him, It is totally unadapted for any but the hardiest woodsman.” ‘The President's party are quartered in a log cabin 27 feet long, 54, teet high and about 10 feet wide. It is divided in the middle by a par- tition. ‘The rear of the cabin is used as a sleep- ing apartment by Mr. Cleveland and his friends; the front diviston is the storeroom and the bed room for the guides. None of the occupants of the camp remove their clothes at night; when ready to relire they wrap themselves up in a blanket and lay down on the ground, which is covered with balsam boughs. A fire is kept. burning outside the camp at night to keep awa, any bears orcatamounts that might be prowl ing about. The President informed the corre- spondent that they had discovered bear tracks near the camp, but the bears perhaps divined that the camp was well armed, and accordingly Kotte pargriia altonded by four guides, all of te. party D r gu o Sjamiliar to tourists In’the Adiron. dacks, ‘They are Gard.

Cronk ts a tall, powerfully built iellow, of whose strength and endurance many stories are told. ‘Thes: men are all on terms of easy familiarity with their employers. all seem brother sportsmen rather than servants and masters. Hunting and fishing, of course, are the princl. al occupations of the woodsman, The Presi- lent is more closely addicted to the latter, and says that, he cares very little for shooting,’ The President usually spends almost the entire day In angling. He does not fish with the fly, as he thinks he can catch more trout with bait, ‘he whole tenor of the life in the campis wild and primitive In the extreme. Mr. Cleveland’s attire was not as pleturesque or conventionally appropriute as thatof his companions. He wore trousers and waiscoat of black diagonal goods, evidently belonging to a worn-out dinner suit. The trousers needed sewing. His shirt was of dark blue flannel, and for acravat he wore a piece of heavy dark ribbon. His hat was of black felt with very broad rim, He dispensed with a coat, even On the cooler days; and it was noticeable that even whileat the Prospect house he often walked about in his shirt-sleeves, It was noticeable that both Mr. Cleveland’s companions and the guides addressed him as “Governor,” and_not as “President.” He jokes with the ides quite as familiarly as with. either of his friends. He asked Cronk how much his boat weighed, ang when he answered “a hundred pounds” ‘the’President said that the great difference between Cronk and George Washington was that Washington couldn't tell a lie.

Numerous Candidates Working Zeal- ously for the Various Offices. Correspondence of Tur EVENTNa Stan: Rockvitee, August 24, An Interesting catalogue has just been issued from the county press, entitled the “Democratic Primary Election Ticket.” This document is about a foot in length, and contains the names Of thirty-three patriotic citizens who will con- Sent toserve their people in the respective offices under which their names are classified. There are about a dozen county offices to be filled by election this fall, Under the democratic system of primary election everybody who wants gn office, or who 4s so “urgently solicited” thatthe cannot withstand the pressure of his friends, may become @ candidate for nomination, and by ‘the paymentof one dollar have his name placed upon the “primary” ticket, to be voted for or erased, a8 the Voter may elect. The sys- tem is very popular, and there is mo lack of Sspiring politicians Who are willing to risk a dollar In the great sace for a place upon the Hcket to be put forward by the party for clec- lon. The most important and best paying officer to be chosen this full 1s the clerk of the county court. The “primary ticket” is graced with the names of an even half-dozen prominent gentle- men who have been “Induced to accept” the place. There are nine aspirants for county commissioner, eight for the house of delegates, andfour for sheriff. Those seeking the other nominations are not so numerous, ‘The county has been thoroughly canvassed by every candidate whose name ison the ticket, and a stranger stationed at the cross-roads or any given point during the last few weeks would have sup) that the candidates ofthe county far outnumbered the voters. Every legitimate means that could be devised has been resorted to by the offlceseekers to gain the good-will of voters, and several gentlemen have kept their claims prominently before the Public ever since the election of 84.
