EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.

w N'Ss' 49, y
For nearly eight months large
share of the time of the president has
been devoted to the hearing OF nppiica-
tions for office and determination Of
appointments. Much of the time thus
spent has undoubtedly subserved the
public good. Some of II has been
sacrificed to the indulgence of people
in their natural insistance upon useless
interviews. and some of it has been un-
Iiustiflably wasted. The public welfare
and due regard for the claims OF
those whose interest in the government
are entirely disconnected with office
holdipg imperatively demand that In
the future the time Of the pretident
|; should be differently occupied, and he
confidently expects that all good citi-
zens will acquiesce in the propriety
land reasonableness of the following
plan. adopted to that end The day
after the first day Of November the
president will decline to grant inter
views to those seeking public positions
or their advocates. On Mondays
Wednesdays and Fridays, during tina
month. he will receive such other per
sons as call on strictly public busines
and on the same days, at half-past on
in the afternoon, he will meet thos
! who merely desire to pay their re
4 spects. On all other days and time
during that month he will receive or
lv cabinet officers and heads of depar
ments.
It is said al the White House tn
II afternoon that the president will lea>
Y Washington Sunday evening and pr
M ceed direct to Buffalo, where he wi
~ cast his vote for the Democratic Sta
ticket, and then return to Washingto
arriving here Wednesday evening
Thursday morning. He will probab
make the journey alone.
