AVAILING THEMSELVES OF THEIR LAST CHANCE YESTERDAY—THE PRESIDENT’S OB- DER CUTTING THEM OFF NOT A TEMPORARY ONB, AND NOT TO BE SET ASIDE FOR MEM- BERS OF CONGRESS, The office-seekers had thelr last chance at the President yesterday and made the most of It A large crowd hung about the White House from ton o'clock until two, Many of them have been in Washington since the 4th of March expecting sppomtments, and have been reduced to the last degree of espondency. Some of them expected very high positions, but are now willing to accept: anything. The President was forced to close the doors against officeseckers altogether to detend himself from the useless annoyance to which he has been subjected since the 4th of March. His whole time has been taken up by Interviews with people for whom he could do nothing. Men and women wantin, fa ela as messengers, labore! an charwomen have sought interview with the President, and insisted on laying their claims before biin with great particularity and em- phasis, importuning his asistance. Senators and Representatives have asked for private in- terviews, which have been granted upon the assumptlo: IMPORTUNATE that their business. was of some importance, and it has’ turned out that they would talk about fourth- class post offices. Others have wanted nothing at all except to introduce their friends to the President, so. as to show in what high esteem they are held, and how they have the President's ear whenever they wantit. A li TES number of office-seekers have calied at the White House three timesa week since the 4th of March, and insisted upon telling the samestory over aidover again, Euch time they have been told that it was out of Mr. Cleveland’s Power, to do any thing for them. and they have n directed to go to the heads of the te ments iu which they want appointments, They would go away, bui the next day would return and say: Mr,’ President, I took your advice ‘and saw Secretary —. He promined to give the case his consideration, It's ail right. I thought IT would come and tell you, as you took s0 much interest in my’ case.” In a day or two they would come back a little despondent: “Mr. President, I'm afraid things aren't going altogether right with me. Ihave not got my appolntment yet. Perhaps if you would push the matter a little for me—" And from this they have gone on getting more despondent and more importunate, until they have plagued the President's life almost out of him. In this way there have been not less than trom fifty te a hundred people. seeking interviews with the President in his pert office every thev could get admit- None of the re uired lexs than five minutes in which to tell their tale, and most of them have required more time. Fifteen minutes they evnsider ttle enough. Sixt interviews of five minutes eact woul take from ‘tn until three o’clock. Thus it took from five toslx hours for these Inter- views, besides the special interviews demanded by Senators and Representatives, so that the President had no time to transact’ public busi- ness and to see those persons whose advice and counsel he desired. sides, those interviews were of no good to anybody. They had no effect whutever uvon the besiegers’ chances of appointment, as all cases are decided by the pupers fifed and not upon verbal recormmenda- tions. The new rule is not for the time being merely, but for all time, and is considered b; the President to be a public necessity. He will continue to hold his short public receptions on Wednesdays, Fridays, Mondays, and everybody’ who "wants to seo him must do tt, whether they are members of Congress or ordinary folks, and they wAl n be allowed to talk Office to him there.

After the warrant to arrest Mr. Tenley, the contractor en; in the excavation, an Mr. Howe, one of his associates, had ‘been served, as thelr workmen continued at work. Lieut.

Lieutenant Gny says he informed Mr. Hill that it would be necessary for him to secure @ restraining order or Injunction from the Propet ‘court.

The Utah Commission Givean Account of Their Work. Ex-Gov. Ramsay, the chairman of the Utah commission, has submitted « report to the Seo- retury of the Interior detailing the operations of the commission during the past year. The report states that the nameof a polygamist cannot now be found upon the registration lists and none of their class are holding office. Ney- ertheless, it is true that nearly all the officers chosen at the last election are Mormons who, while they do not actually live in polygamy, subscribe to the doctrine of poly; ous mar rlages as a divine revelation. ‘exception, however, was in the county of Sum- mit, where the entire non-Mormon ticket was elected, and for the first time in many years’ a person not a Mormon was elected ‘to the legislature.

Few Days—The Maj: to Be Small—Repablican Success in the Legisiature Probable. Special Dispatch to Tae EVENIxo Stam ALBaRY, N. Y., October 31.—There can be no question that election day will find the republi- cans with the advantage of the boom of the closing days of the campaign on their side. Early in the week Hill stock stood high, but for the last two days it hasbeen falling. One reason for the increased republican hopes is that their efforts to raise money Lave been more successful during the last few days than a fort- night ago. It now seems extremely probable that outside of New York and Kings county Davenport will have a majority of nearly 50,000. Hill is conceded trom 7,000 to 8,000 in Kings county, and the election binges on bis majority in New York city. levelund had 43,000 in New York last year. If Hill gets this figure he will probably Just pull through. If he fully below it, his gefeat seems Inevitable. His friends claim more than 45,000 in’ New York, while the republicans insist that he will not get 35,000, The most conservative men of either party do not expect to see the majority exceed 8,000 oF 9.000 ether way, Itseems probable that Carr, resublican, will be elected Neutenant-overnor. Tne efforts of his friends to run him ahead have apparenuy damaged the rest of the ticket, The election of O'Brien, democratic candi- date for attorney general,’ seems probable, as the liquor men are united against Thomas, the republican candidate. The republicans will undoubtedly, carry the state senate, which participates in the election of Warner Miller's Successor in 1887. They have fittcen sure dis- tricts, and nine districts are surely democratic. The remaining eight districts are contested, with the chances strongly favorable to repub- licans in five, It is probable that nineteen re- publican senators will be elected, and ten of these are against the re-election of Senator Miller. ‘The republicans will carry the assem- ve = A NEW YORK CITY VIEW. Things That Seem to Give Hill the A. vantage of Davenport in the Race— The Labor Element Solid for Hill— Stalwart Defection. Special Dispatch to Tue KVENING STAR, New Yorx, October 31.—The virtual close of the campaign to-night is not unlike that of a year ago, There is an absence of the long street Processions this year, but the Indoor meetings have been largely attended, and the interest and excitement are quite up to fever heat. Now, as then, the result depends very much upon the trade of votes in the New York city offices for the state ticket. But ifthere is no state ticket will probably be elected by a larger majority than Mr. Cleveland received in 1884. On the other band, if the state ticket is sacri- ficed in the interest of one or the other of the local democratic wings, Governor Hil will, of course, not be reelected. But the Indications, generally, seem to favor the root. For some time ‘it looxed as though {Se republicans would poll a united vole tor Davenport, but latierly the disaffection of the stalwarts Has been quite pronounced in some uarters, while on the other hand and latterly Sov. Hill has been steadily gaining. It looks now as if he were going to_ receive most ail, if Bot all, of the labor vote. The abolition of eon- vict contract labor and the showing be has just made ofa balance in favor of the state In the prison management for the past year, has cot tributed not a little to possible suc promises to favor legislation for municipal re- form have also helped him, There are no pools sold on the elections, but the betting is about even, ‘vith here and ‘there a difference favora- ble to the democratic candidate. risen SHERMAN AT Ri Probability That The Ohio Senator wi we A Big Audience To-Night— His Mt, Gilead Speech.
