we're mostly in connection with local
Offices. But little was said to the Presi-
dent concerning his noted rules. They
have come to be so well understood that
few points in regard TO them remain to be
cleared up. The eno-reeppointmentr rule is
OF course the principal one, and IN IL the
greatest interest is manifested. From
what Mr.. Cleveland has said it is un-
derstOod not to apply IN certain cases. as
follows:
I. 70 those who have no opposition for
reappOintment.
2. To those candidates for postmaster
ships who have opposition but are en-
1orsed almost unanimously by the citizens
Of their city or town.
3. To those who were removed by the
Harrison Administration without servin.
out their terms.
4. To those who were nominated for
Office by Mr.. Cleveland Just prior to Gene-
raj Harrison's Inauguration but who
failed of confirmation by the Senate.
RUSH OF "Kx-s."
Since tho exceptions 10 this rule have
! become more familiar to Oihce-seekers,
| there has been a rush of eN-s" to the
| White House. They have received little
satisfaction from the President. however.
unless they enjoyed his personal acquaint-
auce or were known 10 him 10y reputation.
| Tuev have received some comfort from an
other exception TO the rule, which is re-
ported TO provide that an applicant
for appointment to the Office formerly
held by himself NAV apply for another
position with as gOOG chance for Sc
lection as any other candidate. This
| exception has not yet been clearly
defined, but II Is perhaps not 50
| broad IN lis PROVISIONS rs some can
dIdates suppose. Mr.. HeiDrchecD. the
Secretary of State Of Illinois, has spoken
to the President about II, and his under
| standing was that appointment TO posi-
tion other than that formerly neld 10y the
applicant was open 70 the latter through
| the usual channels of influence and fit
ness. 10 gentleman who saw hun to-day
with reference 10 the rcappOintment OF
two former Ofiice-hOlders who are en-
dorsed almost unanimously by their con-
gresslOnal delegations and bv a large NUM-
| Der. of prominent people Mr.. Cleveland
| lntimated that if he made the appoint
ments desired he would do SO with the
understanding that the people OF the com
munity would assume the responsibility
| for his action.
REPUBLIcANs WILL FIGHT.
BY practically unanimous vote tho Re
publican caucus has decided 10 reject all
! offers Of compromise and contest the pro-
posed Democratic reorganization of the
elective officers OF the Senate 10 the end.
! The caucus was largely attended. but was
| of short duration. Naturally. there was
| division Of sentiment a5 to what was best
| 10 be done under the circumstances. but
| those IN favor Of contest'ng the proposed
| organization were largely IN the majority.
The vote taken was decisive, aud 1t Is pro-
bable that al the next executive session
! the ultlmatum Of the caucus VIII be gwen
to the Democrats. An effort viii then be
made to settle the matter behind closed
doors. and that failing. the hght Will be
transferred TO open session.
| The Republicans clam that they are
right, and when one of the leading semi
tors was asked what IL meant he replied
that It meant O fight 10 the finish An
amusing feature OF the case Is that the
| Republicans think the Democrats will not
insist on proceeding at this time, and tho
! Democrats assert that the Republicans
! will grow tied Of the struggle III "A day or
/ two. # is probable that no more caucuses
on this subject Will be held by either
party.

afternoon that the reslgnatIons OF all the

Conference had been received, and that n.

ton whether or not new body OF dele
