The President and the Of1ice-Seekers-Ol
of Cleveland's Mistakes.

The President and the Ofice-Seekers-One
of Cleveland's Mistakes.
Washington Special in Pittsburg Chronicle
President Harrison has been getting
elong reasonably well with the office-seek-
ers so far He has comparatively tract
able crowd to deal with, in the first place,
and in the next place he has judiciously
erected barrier of Senators and Repre-
sentatives between himself and them.
Most of the crowd are old ofice-seekers,
considerably. They know what they want,
but if they cannot get it they are willing
to take something else, and they. do not
act in manner that will prejudice any
future chances because the first attempt
seems to go wrong. They are here for the
offices, and they understand that some pa
thence may be necessary to get them. Com
pared with the crowd which assisted at
Mr.. Cleveland's Inauguration, they are
vast Improvement.
Mr.. Cleveland's friends were a pretty
badly broken majority of the Democratic
party who had to have something mighty
quick, and who made no bones about the
way they asked Mr.. Cleveland to turn 1T
over to them. MT. Cleveland thought he
was the whole administration, and refused
to make any appointments until ne person.
ally examined into the cases, and the office
seekers got inpatient. After week they
grew lQUlBudut, anu tuc1, dltcI lew udy y
more voluminously profane. They Dor
rowed the money to get home and ever
afterwards were personal enemies of Mr..
Cleveland. Nothing like that has devel-
oped in Mr.. Harrison's case, as yet, but
amongst the crowd are a number of impe-
cunious people who are as sure of office as
was Mulberry Sellers that his eyewater
would dampen the eyes of the world.
Two of them, from Texas. / hap
pened to meet the other day. One
wanted to be district attorney and the
other surveyor of the port of Galveston.
They had spent everything they had to get
here, were borrowing from their friends to
live, and were promising to pay back in
the glorious time when they began to draw
Uncle Sans salary. Possibly Mr.. Harrison
will appoint them, for they seem to have
the right kind of papers, but in the mean
time, with their few friends almost drained,
they are looking for hotel that will take
their check on the bank of the future in
return for present victuals and drink.
There are plenty of other such instances
about half of them from the glorious
State of Indiana, where every body calcu-
lates at least on foreign mission. They
are around the hotels thick, driving every
body they know into all kinds of subter-
fuges in the effort to avoid lOaning them
money, and running up bigger debts prob
ably than their salaries would pay in a
year. Nine-tenths of them won't get any
thing.

SEEING THE PRESIDENT.
Pitiful Pleas of Some of the People Who Want
to Shake Hands with General Harrison.

Pitiful Pleas of Some of the People Who Want
to Shake Hands with General Harrison.
Washington Post.
The disappointment of some of those peO-
pie who have failed in their hearts desire
is pitiful. As the President went up stairs
after reviewing his last crowd yesterday
a big man whose face did not indicate the
possession of much sentiment, looked up
after him and plaintively inquired of Cap
tain DinsmOre:
Won't he come down againi Won't he
mot to-day" said the Captain. You
have seen him and you ought to be satisfied.
You don't want to kill him, do your
Indeed | don't! / wouldn't harm him
for the world, but do just want to touch
him."
well, come back again tomorrow and
perhaps you'll have better luck"
Another, a little old gray-haired farmer
from Michigan, who had never before been
so far away from home, and who was will
ing to cOnfide in any one who looked at him
kindly, seemed to abandon long cherished
hope when the announcement was made to
the crowd in the East Room that the Presi-
dent would see them, but could not shake
hands. He was tired out, and had found a
seat on a sofa in a corner of the room. He
did not rise and press forward as the rest
did when the President came in.
"Oh, I've seen him." he said to the man
who sat next him. This is the third day
I've been up here trying to shake his hand,
but have only had chance to walk in
front of him and bow. L don't care to do
that any more. | expect I'll have to go
home tonight, and then shall never shake
hands with him.
Perhaps you'll come back here again be-
fore his four years are up"
May be So" said the old man, but he
sighed as if that was a most remote posi-
bility.
Doubtless there are many in the crowds
who crave as eagerly as this old man, the
privilege of shaking the Presidents hand,
but most of the people who come do so just
for the fun of the thing, and they look half
ashamed as they pass. If they could know
how deeply others feel the disappointment
which the great crowd makes necessary,
they would keep away
