me- at the Executive Manei0o.
MR JOHN J. RICKEY
was enc Of the hrst to make HE appear
anee In the city, aud promises to be one
oithe last to Leave. He came here backed
by petition longer than the moral law
and containing so me OF the beet names
OF Cincinnati citizens, Republican and
Demo crat. This he laid before the Pres
idsnt shortly after his arrival, and has
since made daily calls for the purpose
OF observing its effect upon Hayes.
just how far the President
has got in the perusai OF
this thrilling autographioal romance
1 haven't bsen able to learn, but John
j. Is evidently profoundly impressed
with the idea that Nr. Hayes fnds 1t
mighty Interesting reading, and before
he gets through with 1t he is bound to
arrive at the conclusion that the well
fare Of the Nation demands the appoint
ment OF one j. j. Hickey to the position
of Postmaster OF Cincinnati. This is
Mr. Rickey's opinion, and he enjoys
OF 1t, for no other living man
thinks that he has a ghost OF chance
for the appointments.
MRS. WILBUR,
Mrs. Hayes old friend aud teacher, Is
another applicant, who has been here
and enjoyed the hospitality of the White
House, u rather unusual courtesy TO
office-seekers. 1t ls the general opinion
here that she has pretty good chance
OF success, and 1t is everywhere con-
ceded that il she does not become ohief
Of the Office che will be permitted to se-
lect her place among Lhe subOruinates.
CHARLES L. M'REA,
the eminent statesman who last year
shot athwArt the political firm ament, has
also been here, and gone away satisfied
that he has sure thing on che office.
Charles might as we'll hang his harp on
the will w. He will never be p. M. un.
der this ADMINISTRATION.
GUS. wAHLE

viewed the President. He informs me
that he could get nothing out OF him ON
which to hang hope. All hs would
say WIS til It he had not yet made up his
mind buui The matter, so Gus. is not
exaotlJ as one without hope, albeit not
very sauguine. He is under the impress
sion that the President Intends to give
the Office to German, and thinks that
in that case be will stand some chance
applicants are John T. Loge, herman
Eckel, Henry schloltmau and Captain
JacooI. OF these Loge seems to have
The best chance. He is backed by the
Kesslet-Amor Smitu party, while Wahle
has the backing OF Archbishop Sands
and his gang. X chard, the truly good,
is also said tn be- 10 Logs's favor. The
good man, however, would be satisfied
with amy one except Wahle, whose pe-
culiar manner OF enforcing the postal
laws lie abhors.
LEW. wEIrZEL
has been here several days, and feels per-
ieetly confdant Lhat his nead wiiluOt or.
nament the s6et for some time to come
at least. l heard General Grosven0r,
who enjoys very intimate relations with
the President, assure Lew. last night
that he was all right. Stanley Matthe VS.
told Wahle to-day that he intended to
take no part In the Cincinnati APPOINT
ments, which statement those Who know
willy Stanley will accept for what 1t is
worth.

pointment was not acted upon by tue

In Iayor OF his continuation. l think he

adjourned uutil Monday next, no action
on appointments Can be taken until that

tinotion OF being able to spread one

Evarts may stick. but Schurz is the
