to President Arthur, and after he
got back from there he received callers
ttup fbron 4,
custom not very uniformly observed of the
outgoing president dining the incoming
president on March 8. 1t has this advan-
tage that it enables the future tenant of the
White house to try the bill of fare and test
tine capacity of the cook before it is ever
lastingly too late for him to refuse to be
inaugurated.
Andrew Johnson, however, did not invite
Z. S. Grant to dinner Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes
invited Garfield and Arthur
GARFIELD ACCEPTED
and persisted inside Of six months. Arthur
had an unpleasantness with Hayes in regard
to the management of the New York custom
house, so he refused the invitation and sur
vived to be president. Mr.. Arthur invited
Mr.. Cleveland to dine with him Tonight,
but the latter seems to have prepared to wait
until he was master of the White house and
had the power to bow-string the cook ami
bastin ado the walters before dining
in the executive mansion, for he ex-
cused himself and dined with his own
party. After dinner he held a cabinet meet
ing of his own and the aforesaid cabinet con-
sisted of Mr.. Bayard, secretary Of state; Mr..
Manning, secretary Of the treasury; Mr.. La
mar, secretary Of the INTERIOR, Mr.. Garland,
attorney general; Col. Villas, postmaster
general; Judge Endicott secretary of war
Mr.. Whitney, secretary Of the navy. There
seems no longer any doubt as to the correct
ness Of the names here presented, and it is
thought that the official announcement. Of
the cabinet viii not vary from the above.
