President Cleveland Tired Out.
WASHINGTON, May THE following
has been issued by the President for p.,b-

lication:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, May 8, 1s9,
1t has become apparent, after two
months experience, that the rules here
tofore promulgated regulating interviews
with the President have wholly failed in
their operation. The time which, under
these rules, was set apart for the recep-
ton of Senators and Representatives has
been almost entirely spent in listening
to applications for Office, which have
been bewildering in volume, perplexing
and exhausting in their iteration and
impossible of remembrance. A due re-
gard for public duty, which must be
neglected if the present conditions con-
tinue, and the observance OF the hmlta-
tons placed upon human endurance
oblige me to decline, from and after this
date, all personal interviews with those
seeking appointment to Office, except as
1, on my own motion, may especially
invite them. The same considerations
make it impossible for me to receive
those who merely desire to pay their
respects, except on the days during the
hours especially designated for that pur-
pose. 1 earnestly request Senators and
Representatives to aid me in securing
for them uninterrupted interviews by
declining to introduce their constituents
and friends when visiting the Executive
Mansion during the hours designated for
their reception. Applicants for Office
will only prejudice their prospects by
repeated importantly and by remaining
at Washington to await results.

An Interesting Comparison.

WASHINGTON, May Ga statement
prepared from the records of the Post
Office Department shows that during the
first two months of the present admins
tration the total number of fouTth-class
postmasters appointed was 1884 against
5,14 made during the first two months
of Harrison's administration. The num-
Der of appointments made during the
last two months to fill vacancies caused
by designations and death was 2,6S5
against l Cos made during the correspond
ing period of the last administration.
Number of removals under Cleveland
/ POS, under Harrison, for the same time,
3,946. The excess of appointments four
years ago was, therefore, 1,210, and the
excess of removals 2,2S2, while the num-
Der of appointments made for resigna-
tions and deaths was LOT more than
four years ago. In view Of the many
misstatements which have been made IN
the press concerning the number and
causes of changes being made in fourth
class post offices, the foregoing figures
are regarded as interesting.
