WAsHINGToN Nov. l9-The indications are
that Washington will be pretty full of Office
seekers and Office brokers toward the close of the
winter. Already the familiar faces of the latter
class are beginning to arrive and the former
will be here as soon as the season for them be-
gins, which will be provoked by the Inaugural
ton. An old office broker says it is folly for
those who want appointments to come here for
recognition even as early as the end of the ses-
sion of Congress, and that those who come so
early will disgust every one who wields in
Auence in the matter of appointments.
Presidentelec Clevelands friends have
reached the conclusion that he will not make
many changes of official positions, and the men
from the South are already beginning to predict
a clash of the forces before many months have
gone from March next
Cleveland will be the worst cursed man in
Christendom before the year is out, said Editor
Snowdon, of the Alexandria (Va.) Gazette, the
official organ of Bourbonism in the Old
Dominion, in speaking of the division of
official spoils to-day. Yes, Cleveland will
be damned if he does, and he will be damned if
he don't" continued he THE people from the
South expect an entire change of ofiee-hoiders
even to the clerks here in the departments; and
of course we know it is ridiculous to believe that
viii be done. They will demand q hasty and
immediate change of the judges, marshals and
revenue collectors and customs collectors in the
South, and there will be some tall swearing if it
is postponed single day. The people in the
South will be greatly Disappointed they must
be, and would be if any other Democrat was to
be President than Cleveland"
While almost every one agrees that the official
career of Cleveland proves him to be man of
wonderful obstinacy, and that IN the main he
will be President just as truly as was Grant
there is general feeling with all this that no
ln,an could Withstand the opportunities for
charges that will be brought to bear upon him
and his Cabinet. There will necessarily be a
great many changes, but they will come slow, as
terms expire and as provocations are presented
An impression prevails among the Democrats
of prominence, who are arriving here from the
North. East and West, that there will not be
much South in tho Cabinet of President Cleve-
land They say it is manifest that it would not
do to have more than one man from the South
in the Cabinet, and that it is nonsense to think
that more than two will be called from below
the Ohio river in the EXTREMIST event. 1t has
already been asserted that the South will domi-
neer now as before the war. Cleveland has
been put upon his guard by the declarations,
and will profit by them. no doubt.
