WASHINGTON, June Z6.-Gcn.
Jastrcmski leaves tonight for
home. His visit here has been
highly satisfactory, and his inter
course with the President hes left
the pleasantest and most encour-
aging impressions. Mcssrs. Jas
trcmski, Walshe ana Penn were
received by Mr.. Cleveland, and
had a very agreeable interview.
| What Mr.. Cleveland said on this
occasion corresponds with previous
utterances to representatives OF the
regular Democracy Of Louisiana,
to-wit, that his desire is to harmon
izc and strengthen the party, and
that appointments will be made
with that end in view.
One thing, however, is certain.
The President has resolved not to
do anything in the Louisiana case
at present. This makes it add
tionally Gle, that the visits OF
Messrs. He II and Jastremski
had the effect Of calling hault,
before NJ. Illusions arrival it was
evident that the President was dis
posed to think that the Gibson
combination represented the party,
and seemed determined to act upon
that hypothesis. But what ne
heard from Mr.. Houston unsettled
. that conviction, and his interviews
| with Jastremski seem to have COM
: pleted the work. At all events,
: the President gave the three gentle
men mentioned to understand this
, morning that he would do nothing
h, in Louisiana affairs for some time,
Y and the impression they received
c was that he had found his first
/ ideas so entirely disturbed as to
c convince him that he had better
J look farther into the matter before
: adopting another programme.
: Such is the impression made
d upon the three Louisianians who
z interviewed him this morning
IL They see in the President sincere
: and patriotic chief, who is honestly
= endeavoring to promote the inter
ests of the whole people, and t
make the Democratic party stront
by giving it a lofty tone and
% character for good faith. Their
" seems little doubt that he was mis-

Is equally evident. 1t is still posi-
N bic that a few appointments ma
Mt be made in cases where both lac
