There has been considerable failing of in visitors 70
the Executive Chambers to-day. but Governor Hayes
spent the morning In his private receiving those
who called. The visitors admitted at
time, that each has iu opportunity to unfold

cinnati, IA well known democratic politician, whom Mr.
Hayes beat Congress 1866 also called to pay hm
respects in company with Mr. GrlfIth Cincinnati

place hunters leave tho quiet little private
Office with less joyous faces than when
they entered and II Is quito likely tho quiet eyed Gov.

schemes OF far importance TO consider than the
claims OF place hunters and quito likely points to that
clause Of hts letter OF acceptance relative to civil
service reform.
