very few favored gentlemen, none of Cleve-
lands numerous callers had an opportunity
to more than pass a few irrelevant eompli-
ments, to shake the hand Of their chosen
one and to murmur the name of
some favorite son for cabinet preferment.
The most information Cleveland would
impart was a smile, ''Glad to see you,
"Have heard of you hefore.'' aud ''I'll give
the matter my earnest consideration" only
this and nothing more. l actually don't be-

yet, though there is no question butt men
like Mcdonald, Bayard, Carlisle, Rcedall,
Barnum, Jonas. Villas, Whitney, ty.gitt,
Black, Garland and Lamar have been ear
nestly considered. 1 am inclined to the
opinion that Bayard viii prefer to remain
leader of the Democratic party ia the
senate, while Carlisle and Randall would also
prefer to remain in the house rs leaders OF
their respective factions. The worst kim
OF scaawags appear with the endorsement Of
judges OF courts and others high in official
life What influences many Of these men to
sign such papers can be readily understood
by any one familiar with politics, but it
should be said TO the credit OF these judges
and others that they frequently follow up
their public Endorsement by writing personal
LETTERS TO CLEVELAND,
requesting that be give no attention TO the
Endorsement aforesaid, as it was for political
and other considerations that the same was
obtained. They all say that when they really
desire any appointment taey will add per-
sonal letters to petitions. But then / feel
very sure Il at these petitions viii in no wise
influence Cleveland in making his appoint
ments, aud the sooner the poor fellows who
are shining around trying to get
signatures to them realize that fact, tue
better for their peace Of mind, as we'll as
Of Clevelands. There WAS a great deal
of fun in Albany at gressman-elect

As they tell il there that worthy came TO Mr..
Cleveland burdened with one grand idea. 1t
was that Mr.. Cleveland should promise to
leave the appointments in every congress

patriot from the nearest adjoin-

kindly oversight over the job. Frank
grew quite eloquent as he unfolded his idea;
especially as when ne told Mr.. Cleveland
that be and = fellow named Ward ''w ere the
sole Democratic representatives in the halls
Of congress from the great city of Chicago"
Mr.. Cleveland let Frank rattle off his plan
and then with a sigh OF uneasiness he turned

that Cleveland proposes to let such men have
any material voice in the party appoint

ittle influence.
