It is comparatively easy to secure an audience with President Cleveland. He is willing to give everybody a chance. All who approach him are pleased with the cordiality and ease of manner with which they are received. He is always ready to listen to what is said to him, particularly with reference to the affairs of the house, and this is pleasant to the employes. A great deal of credit for this systematizing of affairs at the White House is due to Col. Lamont, his Private Secretary, who worked himself sick in a couple of months. It was only a few days ago that he again made his appearance at his office desk, looking somewhat pale. His ways are the President’s ways, and the two understand each other perfectly. Before Col. Lamont was taken sick those about him had learned his ways and methods, so that when he was no longer fit for duty, they knew how he wanted things done, and that way suited the President, so that everything ran smoothly.
