There arc about 10000 places in
tho government service, all told. and
there are on the average more than
ten applications for each of these annually.
There are now several hundred thousand
applications for positions in the postotfice
department which have not been acted
upon. and the appointment clerk of the
treasury has filed away papers in the
cases of rejected office seekers which if
spread out would carpet the state of
Rhode Island. chatted with one of the
appointment clerks yesterday, and he
told me that the rule was that the
smaller the position and the smaller
the salary the greater the number
of applicants for it. Each APP
plication is accompanied with letters Of
recommendation and Endorsement, and not
few men bring petitions signed by hun
dreds of citizens of their native towns
If the position Is a very important one
and the application seems worthy, it is
briefed and sent to President Cleveland
but in many cases It never gets beyond
the hands Of the clerk. In the interior
department there are two large rooms de-
voted to the storing of these applications
for office. -.
The office seekers of Washington do NOT
by any means represent the numbers Of
applications received. Many of the re-
quests for places are made by mail and
not few by congressman and senators
who represent the district from which
the applicants come.
