NOTES FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.
Visitors Who Had Interviews With the
President To-day.

II was not exactly duh day at the White
House, but it was far from exciting. The Of
fce-hunters were less numerous than usual,
but the few specimens who put in
an appearance were Just as despairingiy anx-
ious as their predecessors had been. Ohio as
usual, was in the majority, and Representative
Butterworth was in his customary place at the
head Of the column. He had couple OF
friends with him, both ready at any mo-
mens to lay down their titles to private
citizenship in order that they may
become possessed Of a temporary right to sign
government payroll Representatives ]. i.
Taylor and Thompson were the other Buckeye
Congressman who think they have constituents
who really need assistance. And yet Ohio is
not catching on" TO very much.
Senator Plumb looked out for the state Of
Kansas, and went away apparently happy.
Those who claim to know say that the Senator'S
heart is really sick because Of the hope which
is long deferred. The Senator's affection is
however, but small when compared with that
which troubles his long-suffering constituents.
Senator Hawley told the President about
some Connecticut appointments which would
be real good politics, and
EX-SENATOR CHANDLER CAME AGAIN
to see the President, who was too busy yester-
day to talk very much. There are some few
places the ex-senator would like to have filed
with men whose appointment would aid him in
his senatorial fight. Whether or not he will
be gratihed is more than can be told. Mr..
Chandler has an opponent in his aspirations
for reelection, aud that opponent is ex-
Representative Gallinger. Mr.. Gallinger
has been Harrison man for 10
these many years, and when he went to the
last Chicago convention he did so
with delegation that was Harrison
to the backbone. Then when the
Hoosier leader had been nominated Mr..
Gallinger seconded it in a manner that was de-
of the results of this loyalty was a
special invitation to Mr.. Gallinger to
visit indianapolis last December and the invi-
tation was accepted. Now the politicians say
that If the President helps anybody it will be
DIR Gallinger.
