the streets and in the hotels, but by members and
Senators. and the cases are not exceptional

clearinghouse is full, and the Departments are
oyefrun. Every train brings new additions, and if
the ratio of increase continues the city will not hold
Its visitors by the end Of the month. Such crowds OF
onice-seekeGs were never known here before. It's
not likely, however that the hordes viii remain for
any great length of time for the appointments Will

l,hng rapidity, and every Office filled will take on
an average two dozen people from the city.
