dealing with them. Senator Cameron followed

spite from the labOrS OF the forenoon. Tht
stream OF callers was steady and cOnstantua
to that hour. Though many Wee obliged t.

courte0uSly treated. AS many as 1t was posi-
bic were given personal audience. Tne ia
t1gue or such work as the next Pre- 3tdent Is IN

not be received. This evening Gen. CARTEL
