Famou Pronunciamento.
President Cleveland has slammed the
door of the White House with a bang
full in the face of the ofice-seekers,
great and small. His formal notifca-
ton is meant to be- peremptory and
1t was not issued in a pet,
but upon thoughtful consideration, and
the President intends to live up to it.
But while the edict may seem harsh and
belligerent such is not its nature. 1t
was not framed in passion, nor Is 1T de-
to antagonize politicians. Its
reason and intent are thus explained by
Private Secretary Lamonti
t'Ever since the 4th of March," said
Colonel Lamont, 1.-THE Presidents time
has been occupied by office-seekers
from ten a. IN. until lunch time, and
three-quarters of them are men who
have been in the city since the 4th of
March and many have come daily.
These are the chronic cases. 1t has
come to such a pass that the President
has been unable to do any other work
than to listen to their opportunities,
ono 'ntS' wv, whGn 'c,o". "PPiicaelons
are useless. line fresloent made a rule
on taxing office to base appointments
II papers! not on verbal state
ments and applications, and such ap-
have consequently little or
no effect. When the offiee-seeker has
made his request the President COM
monty asks if what he has said is con-
tanned in his papers. If it is, personal
soncltation is s~upernuousi IL II is not, he
ADVISES the applicant TO include the

usuai course, n prooaoiy not one IN a

one man to handle, even if he had no
other business than to attend to their

office hours began. Each asked for
