A MONTHS RECORD.
Under the Administration of Grover
Cleveland.

Cleveland,
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The
first month OF Cleveland's a1m1nr
istration has ended, and the crowd
of Off cesscekers who make perso-
nal visits to the White House
shows no diminution in nnm Der.
More than a hundred callers, pers
haps two hundred, came to see
the President yesterday and the
number of visitors appears to be
increasing rather than decreasing
as time goes BY. 1t has been nots
iceable that several States e
poorly represented by their citizens
and in the case of Marylan
hardly a candidate for office has
seen MIR. Cleyeland The explaDas
ton given for this is that Senators
and Representatives from these
States have agreed TO withhold
their irfuence until after the rush
for office is over, and The cand's
dates have been direc'ed to keep
away from the President under
pain of losing the endorsements
they desire,
During Cleveland's fist term
the Mary landers formed large
portion Of tuose who visited the
White House, the natural result
of the close proximity of Mary-
land to Washington, Since his
second term began, Cleveland has
discovered that Virginia is the
banner State in point of mum Der
of her aspirants for Federal posts
tiona. Tennessee and Georgia
candidates have also been numers
GUS and candidates from South
Carolina, Indiana. Illinois and
Kentucky have not kept in the
back ground. New York and
Ohio, two of the largest States
have furnished comparatively few
candidates who have made
personal calls on the President in
their own interest, and Pennsyle
vania has not been S, prominent
in this respect as might have been
expected. Recognition of the
home rule prinpip.e by the PRESS
dent in his appointments yesterday
has been much satisfaction to the
delegates from the territories, and
the Democrats in the District Of
Columbia. That the President
will make Territorial appointments
trom citizens of the territories cons
cerned was affirmed by him to-day
in couvere alton with a Congress-
man who is interested in the mat
ter, Mr.. Cleveland said that he
would appoint to territorial posi-
tions. both local end general, only
men who were acceptable to the
people of the Territory, and tho
city, town or district within it, or
account of their residence there
and good standing. If an ex'
ception was made, he said, i
would be because he could find nc
resident fitted for the place he de
sired to fill. In such case h
would go outside the lines of th'
territory concerned and select tn
best man he could find who woul'
accept.
